Monkey and Pig in love, friendship and work
In love
In love the harm shows as small disappointments rather than rows: each wants a kind of attention the other does not think to give. Saying what you need, plainly, is the whole cure.
As friends
As friends they get on well in company and drift when left to themselves. Shared projects keep the friendship alive.
At work
At work the harm is a mismatch of pace. It is a minor caution in the almanacs and easily managed.

For the Monkey
Best: Rat and Dragon (trine), Snake (secret friend). All twelve.
For the Pig
Best: Rabbit and Goat (trine), Tiger (secret friend). All twelve.
