An excellent match ★★★★★
龙Dragon
The Dragon and the Rooster are secret friends (六合): the six pairs whose branches combine. The tradition reads it as a quieter, steadier bond than the trine, often described as the pair that look after each other.
The Dragon: Confident, ambitious and generous. The only mythical animal in the cycle, the Dragon brings rain and good harvests; emperors took it as their emblem.
The Rooster: Observant, honest and hard-working. The Rooster announces the dawn: it is the sign of punctuality and of saying what it sees.
