Quiet, persistent friction that neither will find easy to name.

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

The Steel Monkey sees The Diamond Pig as
Rival
a competitor for the same ground
The Diamond Pig sees a competitor for the same ground. So does The Steel Monkey, looking back. A symmetrical reading is rarer than it sounds, and it means the two of you are likely to describe the relationship in the same words — which makes disagreements about it unusually easy to resolve, and misreadings unusually hard to catch.
Pig and Monkey rub. This is the quiet kind of friction: nothing dramatic, just a low, persistent mismatch in pace or priority that both of you will find hard to name.
The Diamond Pig brings Water, which The Steel Monkey's day pillar carries none of. The exchange runs one way. That is workable, and it is worth both of you knowing which direction it runs in.
Neither day pillar carries Wood, Fire, and Earth. A shared absence is harder to work with than a mismatch, because there is nobody in the pairing to notice it: these are qualities the two of you will consistently underrate in each other and in yourselves.

Counted across both day pillars. A zero is a quality neither chart carries.
