Branches: 巳 and 酉
Half trine (半合)
巳 and 酉 are two of the 巳酉丑 Metal team of three, including its middle sign, so the tables count them as a half set. It is read as a shared direction: things started together tend to grow.
Elements: Fire and Metal
Fire controls Metal in the controlling cycle. The Snake side tends to set the frame and the Rooster side tends to feel it. Read gently it is structure, read harshly it is pressure. Agreeing who decides what usually helps.
Both branches are Yin.
Groups you share
