Great, both belong to the same element therefore ane friends and can easily get along with those of the same Gua, adding value to themselves. Both are easily adaptable and outwardly are cool, calm and friendly. They can recognise and therefore understand each other, so this pairing makes for a great relationship.

Since the element of Gua 2 is actually mud from the fields, the mixture of mud and water can be quite confusing for both. Not a great relationship, in its worst form can be a toxic relationship for both. The 2 will make a faint effort to control the 1, but in vain. More confusing if the male is a 2 and the female is a 1, as the 1 can be quite wilful. such a relationship, if not closely monitored, can result in an explosion,when the relationship can overwhelm both the parties.

3 or Zhen Gua’s element is a tree. Gua 1 is the water that feeds or grows the 3 so that is very much the king of nurturing relationship a Gua 1 will have towards a Gua 3. The Gua 3 on the other hand takes it as his birthright to be helped or supported by a Gua 1. This can be a rocky relationship, fraught with arguments and sudden explosions of temper, a bad temper being the trait of both 1 and 3. especially draining for a 1

This is a fine mix of water, wind and beautiful plants. It is a relationship that is beneficial to both, but more so to the 4. the only danger here is that the 4 can get carried awy, so must have their feet planted on the ground and not get carried away by flattery and sweet and sometimes meaningless words. such a relationship can also tend to be shallow but the 4 can learn and gain from such an equation.

In Chinese metaphysics, these are known as an early heaven pair. This means that they have a relationship that is pre-ordained and they are destined to get along. They mutually benefit one another while giving each other their own space. Such a relationship may lack conventional warmth and a display of emotion but one can hope for a mature and wise interaction. Intellectual and meaningful pursuits and deep thinking are hallmarks of such a close relationship where not much needs to be said aloud, rather, all is mutually understood.

This combination is not ideal, and early separation can happen. It is one of those relationships that are dominanted by useless showing off, too much of pointless dialogue with each one trying to outdo the other. Looks good for a while before things turn ugly. If you have no choice but to get along in this relationship, it is best that the 1 Gua uses his wisdom and keeps quiet. the 7 usually will try and take help of the 1, but the 1 has no use for the 7.

In this relationship, something good is always the outcome, but the 1 in this relationship can fell stifled and controlled. The 1 willlly get direction and strenght from such an association but may inwardly resent it as 1's are enerally free spirits and dont like to be guided. the 8 controls this relationship and the 1 finds definition and strenght. Always better when the 8 is the male and the 1 is the female.

What can I say! Emotion, drama, laughing and crying at the same time, blow hot and blow cold, experience the full gamut of emotions all at once. This can be an ideal relationship provided the roles are clearly defined as both parties are unpredictable and potentially volatile. A 9 is needy and insecure and a 1 is impatient and can be detached but together, they form what is called in feng shui, a combination of 10 which is a perfect balance of yin and yang. Not a bad idea to make an effort to make this electric relationship work. 1 will get the upper hand over the 9, in most cases.

Since the element of Gua 2 is actually mud from the fields, the mixture of mud and water can be quite confusing for both. Not a great relationship, in its worst form can be a toxic relationship for both. The 2 will make a faint effort to control the 1, but in vain.

Think of two independent people getting together, both who have a live and let live policy, both co-exist peacefully side by side, giving each other their own space, ach clearly marking out his own territiory, you have a peacful co-existence. Mutual respect and understanding marks this relationship, where both partners are secure in their equation with one another and treat one another as equals. Food is an important component of this pairs life!

Traditionally, this is called a 'bull-fight' combination, which brings about arguments and stress, but in reality, a 2 and 3 can have a healthy relationship, a match for each other as both are strong people in their own respective ways. while the 3 will try and get the better of a 2, the relationship is mutually beneficial and the sooner they both realise that they need each others energies for mutual benefit, they can embark on a profitable relationship. A great combination to make money together.

This is a bit hard as relationships go, with no particular chemistry. This relationship will have its share of bickering and pettiness as 2 has no use for the energies of a 4 and 4 being unable to really get through to a 2. They can co-exist side by side without any meaningful interaction as neither is aggressive enough to want to try and make the relationship really workable. Both can actually end up taking a back-seat and doing their own thing, without much anger or argument.

A hard relationship, two individuals complete within themselves with little room for any interaction to take place.one completely closed and the other completely open, an imbalance that is not easy to bridge. But as each one is complete, there will be no arguments or friction so expect a smooth, albeit uneventlful relationship.

Together, in Feng Shui they are referred to as early heaven fire, and fiery this combination certainly is. In a way, such relationships are predestined and therefore have a certain level of comfort. However, the 7 here will try to be heard but will be shadowed by the over-protective 2, thereby generating some heat, though there should be overall a smooth sailing, albeit passionate relationship.

Two of a kind, one soft and the other a harder version, both earth signs, one a mountain (8) the other a paddy field (2), one cannot exist without the other, a perfect combination of ten in Feng Shui terms. Both will not exert beyond their boundaries but have a healthy mutual respect for each others space. Both are deep and contain much substance within, but rarely show it. When push comes to shove, the 2 gives in to make things work, as he is the more resilient and yielding of the two. These make a happy and outwardly jolly couple.

Traditionally, this couple has a confusing relationship as it is clouded by blindness. Fire (9) in the Feng Shui production cycle is supposed to produce earth (2) but in reality it makes more noise than anything so the 2 appears to have a feeling of warmth and comfort but this is not real. All promises but no delivery means that in the end you are left wondering "what happened". Such couples are not doomed, its just that they need to make an effort to be clear in their dealings with each other and tread carefully.

A great combination to make money together.

This is best described as a clap of thunder, noisy, electric, competitive, you-do- your- thing- and -I'll -do- mine kind of relationship. 3's are very terratorial and guard their own space, something only another 3 can understand, which means they actually understand each other well. But, like the trees that they represent, each one fights for their own place in the sun, making them deeply competitive. Sudden flashes of temper and sudden rushes of anger can otherwise mar a peaceful co-existence. A 3 is very focussed, single minded and does what it has to do very quietly. Charity and a will to help others come easily to them so expect such

Technically, both are wood element but the difference between the two is chalk and cheese. The terratorial 3 will grow quietly but surely, allowing the 4 to climb all over it, the 3 is a ttree and the 4 is a creeper, needing the support of the 3 to reach for the sunlight, gradually overshadowing or crowding the tree, its very support system and then the relationship gets competitive and can turn ugly. Such couples should ideally demarcate boundaries beforehand to avoid such a confrontation, then they can enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship as basically, both share the same interests and goals and can work towards a mutually beneficial and meaningful relationship.

It is easy to see here a potential combat where generally the 6 will get the better of the 3, both have strong individual viewpoints so the interaction can range from harsh to interesting and everythning in between. Once an undertanding is struck, it is a great relationship, though it may have rocky beginnings! the 6 has a great hand in moulding a 3 and improving him. it all depends who is stronger at that point in time. The point here is that the 3 will be sensitive to what the 6 says, and that may be the root cause of all misunderstanding, until the 3 realises it is for his own good!

A wood and metal clash, but makes an interesting relationship as they occupy oppsite positions on the Bagua and add up to a "combination of ten" also considered good. They will have to make the relationship work but the relationship will thrive as the stubborn 3 needs a bit of "grooming" by the vocal and expressive 7, and they will enjoy a relationship of evenly matched banter. 7 loves to speak and 3 inherently loves to argue but instead of a fight an entertaining dialogue and a healthy mutually respectful relationship can emerge. There will be times when they may get irritated with each other but eventually will succumb to the inherent magnetism that pulls them together.

Supposed to be a combination that depicts "early heaven wood", such a couple would be industrious together, although a show of strength and wills may result in clashes initially, they essentially will have a good working relationship and will be mutually good for one another.

Traditionally, such a combibation is known as wood and fire brilliance, and it is good, but eventually, the 9 can suck the life out of the 3, as wood burns to produce fire, and hence the brilliance, but in the end, neither survive. In order to allow such a relatuionship to survive, The 3 needs to control the 9 by using its intelligence and wisdom, to achieve a balance. Tiring for the 3, comforting for the 9, sums up this particular relationship.

This is a fine mix of water, wind and beautiful plants. It is a relationship that is beneficial to both, but more so to the 4. the only danger here is that the 4 can get carried awy, so must have their feet planted on the ground and not get carried away by flattery and sweet and sometimes meaningless words. such a relationship can also tend to be shallow but the 4 can learn and gain from such an equation.

Can be a formidable combination, and stronger as a couple than as individuals. As both are similar in that they are pliable, adaptable and can make the most of any situation, they will get along as adjusting to one another is second nature to them. Gentle and determined, they attain success easily, and two 4 guas can make great partners even in business. do not rule out and unseen but underlying competitivenes here!

The impressive all yang 6 and the vulnerable gentle and beautiful 4, although a "wood and metal clash" really amounts to no fight as the 6 gives in to the 4, as it finds the 4 too weak as an opponent. As 6 and 4 add up to the magical "combination of ten" expect a wonderful relationship, especially if the male is 6 and the female is 4. even the other way around, it will still work, however, the control will finally be in the hands of the 4 though it may "appear" to be in the hands of the 6.

Imagine a small sharp knife being used to cut beautiful flowers, it can make a pretty picture but is the flower better off in a vase? Does the flower think so? I guess not. Both have an ability and desire to look good, that is built into their personas so they will make an effort at looking good but sooner or later, the 7 will start gettting the better of the 4 and thinks may get a bit prickly. a slightly hard relationship with a lot of verbal exchange...

In this relationship you have an achiever (4) who is trying to control a solid, unmoving 8. here the 8 may give the impression to the 4, that the 4 is in control, but in reaity, the control is notional. A good relationship where both have a mutually beneficial relationship, they give each other their space though at times the 4 may get carried a way and stifle the 8 a bit.

Traditionally known as an early heaven commbination, the 4 feeds and nourishes the soul of the 9 and hence it gets comfortable for a while, but beware, as the 9 has a short attention span and when the 4 gets tired of giving the 9 attention, he may look elsewhere for comfort, to the mother, to food, to any other source of attention....a good relationship otherwise in general, and should have a decent feel-good factor.

"Clash of the Titans" is the best way to describe this relationship. Two people, both solid, self opiniated individuals, how do they get along? Simple, by giving each other their own space, then a brilliant equilibrium is achieved. Large egoes dominate this realtionship and if one relents, then it can work out. Watch out for inflexible, stubborn interaction, where a struggle for the upper hand in the relationship will ensue. at the happy end of the spectrum once can achieve a peaceful co-existence if each one respects the other persons space.

Two people of the same element, metal, can't get along, they will make a lot of noise but cant arrive at a common solution to their problems, so expect a lot of noise. However, the wisdom and maturity of the 6 may prevail and peaceful co-existence side by side can be achieved with effort. The 7 can use its power of speech to convince the 6, so it can be worked out somehow, if you are prepared to overlook the competitiveness betwen the two, in a light hearted way!

Earth and metal, both solid, both strong, so it makes for an unrelenting relationship, clear-cut where each stands their own ground, simply and clearly. While the 8 may appear to look after the 6, it is really just an illusion, not the easiest of relationships, as there is not much meeting of minds.

Both have a pre-ordained affinity as both occupy the same position, one in the early heaven bagua and the other in the later heaven bagua, which is what makes this relationship special. They have a need for each other and both benefit from the influence on one on the other. While the relatinship will tend to be a bit on the formal side, without the shenanigans of many other relationships, the result will be a change on both parties personalities and thinking. Once in the relationship, they may lose many of their original character traits and change for the better (or worse!)

What can be louder than two 7's shouting for their place in the sun, to be heard, to get attention? This is a meeting of two minds, competition at its headiest best, can be amusing for a while, then can be extremely tiring. Beware of the desire to get the better of one another but this can also be positive as it encourages one to strive ahead. great for couples who genuinely believe both are equals in a relationship or else one of them needs to conciously bow down and take a back-seat for this relationship to work.

The sensitive 7 may feel a sense of caring coming from the 8 but the 8 must be careful not to choke the 7 while "looking after it". Any relationship where there is a balance of yin and yang is less problematic due to the balance so there will be less stress though at the end of the day, the 8 will tire of the talkative, over enthusiastic (read vivacious) 7, who may find the 8 too staid and conventional, but such a relationship has the potential of achieving a somewhat comfortable equilibrium.

A bit hard on the 7, as its sensitive nature will make it extremely reactive to the behavious of the 9. Even if the 9 does not do anything harsh. The generally talkative and freely expressive 7's expression, be it words or action, is often cramped by the fiery and tempremental behavior of 9, who tries to control the 7 in the relationship.

In this relationship, something good is always the outcome, but the 1 in this relationship can fell stifled and controlled. The 1 willlly get direction and strenght from such an association but may inwardly resent it as 1's are enerally free spirits and dont like to be guided. the 8 controls this relationship and the 1 finds definition and strenght.

Two solid individuals, quiet, determined and internally volatile, co-existing peacefully side by side. Due to their similarity, they respect and understand each others need for space, they have little scope for mis-understandings and confusion, both being secure independant individuals. A good relationship, devoid of immaturity and fireworks.

Happiness and celebration, enjoyment and pleasure, success in all respects, such a relationship is generally good and balanced. The 9 provides the feel good factor and the 8 provides the stability in the relationship. What more can one want. A well balanced, long lasting and stable relationship can be easily expected.

What happens when two light hearted fun loving frothy personalities get together? They have a lot of fun, and this is the underlying quality of this relationship. However, both are generally insecure, they need a source of comfort, mom, comfort food, sleep, luxury, they rely much on a feel good factor for survival, and once the fun and games are over, they are not able to sustain the relationship for too long as both run out of conversation and eventually they will squabble over things like the last pillow, the last chocolate in the box and wear each other out. One of the two will have to give in to maintain the equilibrium and a dose of common sense should solve most issues, as long as each one keeps their ego out of the equation.
