The four friendly trines
- Rat, Dragon, Monkey: mental energy, adaptability, ambition, resourcefulness and forward movement.
- Ox, Snake, Rooster: discipline, strategy, precision, patience, consistency and practical execution.
- Tiger, Horse, Dog: action, independence, loyalty, courage, movement and strong personal conviction.
- Cat, Goat, Pig: sensitivity, creativity, social awareness, comfort, relationships and an intuitive approach to people.
CUE also counts Rat and Ox, and Horse and Goat, as friendly.
The six enemy pairs
- Rat and Horse: Security through planning meets freedom through motion.
- Ox and Goat: Fixed practicality meets emotional and creative sensitivity.
- Tiger and Monkey: Direct force meets clever adaptation.
- Cat and Rooster: Subtle diplomacy meets direct correction.
- Dragon and Dog: Expansive command meets skeptical loyalty.
- Snake and Pig: Privacy and calculation meet openness and generosity.
An enemy pair means more friction to be aware of, not a relationship that cannot work.
