The Elements count too

The app doesn’t stop at the animal: it also compares the Element and Yin/Yang energy of each birth date. If one Element creates the other (Wood → Fire → Earth → Metal → Water → Wood), the relation is supportive; if one controls the other (Wood → Earth → Water → Fire → Metal → Wood), there is more tension. That is why an Rat–Dog pair from different years doesn’t always score the same.
