The two signs
How the branches meet — Natural allies
The Ox (丑) and the Rooster (酉) belong to the Metal trine of Snake, Rooster and Ox. Point this pair at the same goal and their strength multiplies, which is why they do so well building a business, a project or a household together. They match because they face the same direction, not because they are alike. Keep a shared aim in view; without one, things can drift.
The elements
The Ox’s Earth feeds the Rooster’s Metal, as earth holds the ore. The Ox gives and the Rooster grows, so the Ox becomes the steady support — and the balance depends on the Rooster giving thanks in return.
In love and marriage
Love deepens when there is a plan or a passion you share. A goal-driven couple. An Ox rarely makes grand declarations; they love by staying — showing up the same way, year after year. Roosters can be blunt enough to hurt, but few people take responsibility for a relationship as seriously.
As friends and colleagues
Excellent partners at work — on the same team you deliver; as rivals you exhaust each other. Give an Ox a clear responsibility and they will carry it to the end. They shine in operations, engineering, farming, finance and any role where trust is the product. Roosters earn trust in roles that need accuracy — management, accounting, quality control, medicine and law.
As family
A real strength when the family takes on something big together: a move, a business, exams. The Ox’s weak spot is stubbornness once a view is set; the Rooster’s is criticism that stings. Knowing that solves half the problem.
Making it work
- Write down one goal the two of you share
- Match your pace so one of you is not always out in front
- Share the credit when it works
Does it matter who is the man and who is the woman?
Not in the branch reading — the relationship between 丑 and 酉 is the same either way, and so is the score. What does change the picture is the rest of each birth chart: the Day Masters, the elements each of you is missing, and when your ten-year luck cycles turn. Two full birth dates on the match page read all of that.
