Rooster–Rooster Compatibility: Affinity and Self-punishment Together

Rooster–Rooster receives two labels here: Same-sign Affinity (比和) because both Year Branches are Rooster, and Self-punishment (自刑) because Rooster is in the table's specified set. Retaining both produces 67 overall and 64 for love, friendship, and work. The key distinction is between all matched relationships and the one used to select dimension offsets.

How two labels contribute to 67

Start at 70, add five for Same-sign Affinity (比和) and two for shared Metal, then subtract ten for Self-punishment (自刑). The result is 67. Neither label deletes the condition behind the other. This page sums every matched relationship instead of choosing only one.

The primary relationship is not the only relationship

Both labels remain in the relationship set, but Self-punishment (自刑) has priority when selecting the primary relationship. That selection determines the dimension offsets: minus three for each, producing 64 throughout. Applying the affinity offsets instead would produce different numbers and would not describe this calculation.

What the traditional term refers to here

The table lists identical Dragon, Horse, Rooster, and Pig pairs under Self-punishment (自刑). Rooster–Rooster matches the Rooster entry. This is a traditional relationship category. Comparing two people's Year Branches has not analyzed either complete chart, and the label establishes no psychological condition, self-harming behavior, or marriage outcome.

Other Rooster relationships still require their own members

Rooster has Six Harmony (六合) with Dragon and Six Clash (六冲) with Rabbit, and belongs to the Snake–Rooster–Ox Three Harmony (三合) Metal group. Repeating Rooster introduces none of those other branches. Shared primary Metal and hidden Yin Metal are established here; other pillars and lived experiences are outside the index's inputs.

Frequently asked questions

Does shared Metal create Metal controlling Metal?

This page records matching elements, not control. Metal controls Wood; shared Metal adds two points.

Why does a ten-point deduction not leave 60?

The five-point affinity and two-point element adjustments also apply: 70+5+2−10 gives 67.

Do two Roosters complete the Metal harmony group?

They do not supply Snake and Ox. The identical-sign calculation uses affinity and applicable Self-punishment (自刑), rather than counting repeated group members as Three Harmony (三合).
