1.The branch relationship
There is no special branch relationship (trine, harmony or clash) between the Ox and the Pig. In the five elements, though, the Ox (Earth) restrains the Pig (Water), so different ways of thinking can collide. Respect each other's pace and the relationship settles.
2.The element relationship
The Ox is Earth and the Pig is Water. Seen from the Ox: you restrain them (controlling cycle).
3.Love and marriage
Love grows slowly as you get closer. A shared hobby or goal brings you much closer together.
4.How you each love
The Ox: You let love grow slowly over time. Faithful and sincere, you are the kind of partner people stay with for life. The Pig: Once you fall for someone you go straight to them, with no games, just a pure and honest heart. You can build trust calmly over time.
5.Work and friendship
You respect each other's territory. Careful reporting, updating and consulting builds trust.
Working together
The Ox: Crafts, research, farming, medicine and public service, where expertise is built over many years. The Pig: Technical work, sport, emergency services, crafts and research: anything you can throw yourself into. Divide the work by strengths and you make a strong team.
6.By age difference
The Ox and the Pig are 2, 10, 14, 22, 26 years apart (people in the same school year can still have different animals if one was born early in the year). The branch relationship stays the same whatever the age gap.
7.As parent and child, or boss and colleague
In terms of the elements, this pair tends toward the Ox leading and setting the direction for the Pig. A Ox parent or boss is dependable, but too much interference makes the Pig feel cramped. Make a point of handing over responsibility.
8.When arguments start
The Ox: you can be stubborn and dislike having your pace disturbed. The Pig: once you are convinced, it is hard to stop, and you may stop seeing what is around you. These sides tend to come out when you are tired and stretched. If you start arguing, don't rush to a conclusion; sleep on it and talk again. When you face each other calmly, the Ox's strong sense of responsibility and the Pig's courage and honesty help you both.
9.Tips for getting along
- Your elements (Earth and Water) are in a controlling relationship. Bringing in Metal, the element that mediates between them (its color is white), smooths things over; this is called tsūkan, “bridging”.
