Cast & Chart

Dragon and Pig

These are traditional rules about the twelve signs. No chart decides a relationship.

The traditional relations

  • 無 No listed relation

    None of the classical relations apply to this pair.

What tradition says

Our classical tables have no entry joining 辰 and 亥. Five places apart, they stand one step short of being opposite, and they differ in polarity. 辰 is earth and 亥 is water, so the overcoming cycle applies, earth damming water. Each branch also appears on the Self-Punishment list, but that rule concerns a branch meeting itself and leaves these two together unaddressed.

The Dragon of popular zodiac books aims high and its Pig is content with what is on the table, and popular charts often score them kindly. The kind score is a matter of taste among modern writers, since no table backs it.

A dam holds water back and also gives it somewhere to collect. Ask which limits each of you finds helpful and which feel like being hemmed in, with free time and household plans as two easy places to start.

Earth damming water is an element pattern between 辰 and 亥, never a report on how one Dragon and one Pig treat each other.

Where this text comes from

The relation tables follow 五行大義 volume 2 and 三命通會 volumes 2 and 3 on Wikisource. The popular readings are modern and come from neither.

The English here is our own plain wording, not a translation of a single source.
