COMPATIBILITY
The Mountain Dog and The Steel Dragon
Opposition that generates movement rather than comfort.
Chemistry
Volatile
Engagement without much that softens it. High energy, high cost.

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

someone who teaches them something
The Mountain Dog sees somewhere to put what they make. The Steel Dragon, looking back, sees someone who teaches them something. 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.
Dog sits directly opposite Dragon. 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 Steel Dragon brings Metal, which The Mountain Dog's 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 Water. 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.
