The Diamond Pig and The Meadow Snake
Opposition that generates movement rather than comfort.

Chemistry measures how much is engaged between two charts — not how easy it is. A high score can mean friction.

somewhere to put what they make
The Diamond Pig sees someone who teaches them something. The Meadow Snake, looking back, sees somewhere to put what they make. These are not the same thing, and that gap is the most useful fact on this page: each of you is having a different experience of the same relationship. Most friction between these two charts starts there rather than in anything either of you does.
Pig sits directly opposite Snake. Opposition is not incompatibility — it is the pairing that generates the most movement. It also means neither of you gets to be lazy, and there will be days when that is exhausting rather than energising.
The Diamond Pig brings Metal and Water, which The Meadow Snake's day pillar carries none of, and The Meadow Snake brings Fire and Earth, which The Diamond Pig's carries none of. The exchange runs both ways, which tends to hold up longer than a one-directional one — neither of you is only the giver.
Neither day pillar carries Wood. A shared absence is harder to work with than a mismatch, because there is nobody in the pairing to notice it: this is a quality the two of you will consistently underrate in each other and in yourselves.
