子 and 巳 have none of the main combinations or clashes in the tables.
Elements: Water and Fire
Water controls Fire in the controlling cycle. The Rat side tends to set the frame and the Snake 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 巳 is Yin: one of each.
