Water controls Fire; a clash requires the specific branch pair as well.

Horse and Pig Compatibility: Water Controls Fire Without a Clash
Horse has Fire as its primary element and Pig has Water, so Pig Water controls Horse Fire. The resulting score is 65, without a Six Clash (六冲) label: Horse's opposite is Rat, and Pig's opposite is Snake. The same Water–Fire elements occur in different branch pairs; the branch identities determine whether the clash table applies.

Side by side: how the two signs differ
| 🐴 Horse | 🐷 Pig | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary element | Fire | Water |
| Control direction | Fire: controlled by Water | Water: controls Fire |
| Six Clash (六冲) partner | Rat | Snake |
| Hidden stems | Yin Fire; Yin Earth | Yang Water; Yang Wood |
Six positions apart identifies the actual opposites
The six Six Clash (六冲) pairs stand six positions apart in the twelve-branch cycle. Horse faces Rat, while Pig faces Snake. Horse and Pig do not form either pair. Meeting Water and Fire therefore establishes an elemental relationship but does not yet identify a clash. For this pair, Water controlling Fire is accurate; calling Horse and Pig a clash merges two distinct tests.
Change one sign: same elements, different relation
Replace Pig with Rat: Water still controls Fire, but Rat and Horse now trigger Six Clash (六冲). Replace Horse with Snake: Water again controls Fire, and Snake and Pig trigger the other clash pair. Horse and Pig's 65 comes only from 70 minus the 5-point control adjustment, without the extra 25-point clash deduction. The contrast ties the difference to named branches rather than a broad claim that Water and Fire cannot get along.
The hidden stems add detail beyond Water and Fire
Horse contains Yin Fire and Yin Earth; Pig contains Yang Water and Yang Wood. They share no hidden stem, and each contains another element beyond its primary one: Earth in Horse, Wood in Pig. These lists explain branch composition. The zodiac score does not calculate every hidden-stem interaction or combine two people's lists into a single complete birth chart.
The input sets the boundary of the score
The ordinary primary relation adds no category offsets, leaving love, friendship and work at 65. Pig Water controlling Horse Fire is a primary-element direction; the two Day Masters, birth months and other pillars have not entered this comparison. It explains the calculation, not who dominates a relationship or how a marriage will turn out.

Frequently asked questions
Does Water controlling Fire automatically mean a clash?
No. Elemental control follows the element cycle, whereas Six Clash (六冲) uses specified branch pairs. Horse and Pig meet the first condition, not the second.
Which signs clash with Horse and Pig?
Horse clashes with Rat; Pig clashes with Snake in the Six Clash (六冲) table.
Would entering Pig first change the result?
No. The canonical order remains Horse–Pig, and both the Water-controls-Fire direction and the score of 65 stay the same.
