The Reading · Triangle of Affinity
Snake and Rooster are tied by San He, the three harmonies.
Snake and Rooster are natural allies and the alliance runs on shared standards rather than warmth. Both of you are exacting, both are considerably more anxious than you present, and neither has ever been much interested in the general opinion. Rooster spotted the raft and said so loudly; Snake crossed hidden and said nothing at all; and between you there is both an announcement and a strategy, which is a complete set. What makes it more than efficient is that Rooster's bluntness does not offend a Snake, who prefers to be told plainly, and Snake's privacy does not insult a Rooster, who has plenty of its own.
You respect each other's competence, which for two proud signs is the fastest route to trust. Rooster's precision and Snake's judgement cover different ground, so between you very little is missed. Rooster also does something no other sign does for a Snake: it says the thing out loud, which occasionally forces a decision a Snake would have deferred for another year. And Snake steadies a Rooster, who worries at a problem long after the useful part is over.
Neither of you gives an inch in an argument, and both of you are usually right, which makes it worse. Rooster criticises in the open and Snake retaliates later and indirectly, so the two of you are never quite in the same dispute. There is also very little softness here: two people running on standards and vigilance can build an excellent life with almost no warmth in it, and neither will be the one who admits to wanting some.
In the controlling cycle fire checks metal, so Snake tends to be the brake on Rooster. Useful in small doses, exhausting as a daily arrangement.
Both yin: inward, receptive, and observant, which is restful until something needs saying out loud.
