From Rabbit's Yin Wood to Horse's Fire and Earth
Rabbit contains only Yin Wood, while Horse contains Yin Fire and Yin Earth. At the primary-element level, Wood and Fire are enough to identify generation. At the hidden-stem level, Earth also appears inside Horse. The first view supplies this page's elemental score; the second describes internal composition rather than adding another zodiac sign to either person's input.
A Yang branch can contain Yin Fire
The twelve branches have their own polarity classification: Rabbit is Yin and Horse is Yang. Stems have polarity too, and Yin Wood, Yin Fire and Yin Earth are all Yin stems. Horse's Yang branch classification can coexist with a Yin Fire primary hidden stem. Treating Horse Fire as identical to the Yang Fire stem loses that distinction. The actual Day Stem is needed to identify someone's Day Master.
Generation links two different harmony groups
Rabbit belongs to Pig–Rabbit–Goat, the Wood Three Harmony (三合) group; Horse belongs to Tiger–Horse–Dog, the Fire group. Wood generates Fire even though these branches do not share a group. Their Six Harmony (六合) partners also differ: Dog for Rabbit, Goat for Horse. Element cycles and named membership tables answer different questions.
What the score of 75 actually covers
None of this model's listed harmony, clash, punishment, harm or same-sign categories adds a relationship adjustment for Rabbit and Horse. The base 70 therefore receives only the 5-point generation bonus, with no category offsets. The ordinary-relation label is limited to this model's categories, not an exhaustive claim about every traditional branch term. The index has not assessed either person's Day Pillar, birth month or relationship experience.

Frequently asked questions
Is Horse Fire the same as Yang Fire?
Horse is a branch; Yang Fire is a stem. Horse's primary hidden stem is Yin Fire. All involve Fire, but the labels are not interchangeable.
Does Wood generating Fire mean Rabbit always gives more?
The calculation identifies an elemental direction. It does not observe either person's effort or interactions, so it cannot assign those roles.
Why are love, friendship and work all 75?
Generation adds 5 to the base score, and the model's ordinary primary relation supplies no additional category offsets.
