Wood checks Earth
Wood checks Earth in the five-element cycle, so 甲 tends to steer and 戊 tends to feel shaped. It can be a good structure when 戊 wants direction, and pushy when it doesn’t. Asking before guiding goes a long way.
Both stems are yang: two outgoing, direct styles. Things move fast, and both of you like to decide.

If you are one of them
If you are Yang Wood and your partner is Yang Earth
The element at your core (Day Master) is wood, and your partner's is earth. In the controlling cycle (相剋, where one element keeps another in check), wood breaks through earth, the way roots push into soil. That often means you take the lead, suggest changes and shake up your partner's routines. In turn, your partner brings stability and patience that grounds your ambitions. It can be a great team, like a gardener and a well-tended plot. The risk is pushing too hard for change when your partner values steadiness. Before proposing something new, ask what your partner would want to keep exactly as it is. Respecting their ground makes it much easier for your ideas to take root.
If you are Yang Earth and your partner is Yang Wood
Wood meets earth here. You are earth and your partner is wood, based on each person's core element (日干). Saju reads wood as the element that controls earth, so your partner often acts as the initiator and challenger in your relationship. You bring stability and patience that give their ambitions a place to grow. The dynamic resembles a sapling in rich soil: they rely on you, and they also reshape you. Sometimes you may feel your needs get overlooked in their rush forward. Name one thing you want to protect, like a weekly routine or a savings goal. Clear boundaries help wood grow around you rather than through you.

Questions about this pair
Are Yang Wood and Yang Earth compatible?
甲 checks 戊 through the element cycle, which reads as 甲 steering and 戊 being shaped. Balance comes from asking before guiding; the rest of both charts matters too.
Who leads in a 甲 and 戊 pair?
By the element cycle, 甲 checks 戊, so 甲 tends to set direction and pace. That suits 戊 when it wants structure; asking first keeps it from feeling pushy.
