Branches: 子 and 丑
Six harmony (六合)
子 and 丑 form a six harmony, one of the six closest pairings, said to make Earth. It is usually read as easy cooperation: plans click and small things get forgiven.
Elements: Water and Earth
Earth controls Water in the controlling cycle. The Ox side tends to set the frame and the Rat side tends to feel it. Read gently it is structure, read harshly it is pressure. Agreeing who decides what usually helps.
子 is Yang and 丑 is Yin: one of each.

Both are in the winter group (亥子丑), which the tables call a directional set (方合).
