Compatibility of 庚 with 庚: Yang Metal and Yang Metal

Two swords hanging side by side look like a matched pair. Each is a Friend to the other, the star of the equal and the teammate. Both value honesty and action. They tend to say what they mean and respect each other for it. Few hidden games here.

Two hard edges can clang. Neither likes to back down first. Pride can turn small things into a standoff. It helps to choose one area each where the other gives way. Physical activity together, like a walk or sport, often burns off tension.

Two swords hang crossed on the same wall: same steel, same shape. These siblings are each other's Friend, the star of the equal and the peer. They tend to be frank, loyal and quick to defend each other. Outsiders may think they argue; often it's just how they talk. In plain words: they're tough on each other, and there for each other.

Two hard edges do clang. Both like to be right, and neither likes to back down first. Competition over money or credit can creep in.

Loyal equals with sharp edges; clear roles and a quick laugh keep them a team.

Two swords hang on the same wall, made in the same forge. They look alike and they're just as sharp. That's this mother and child, who share the same Day Master. Each is the Friend star for the other, the star of equals and allies. They tend to be direct with each other, loyal and frank. When they team up, little can stop them.

Two blades, though, can clang. Both may want to be right, and neither likes backing down. Small disagreements can turn into contests of will. What helps is choosing battles.

Two strong, frank people alike in spirit; it works when they pick their battles and team up.

Railway tracks are two steel rails running side by side. They never bend toward each other, yet together they carry the train. This father and daughter are both Yang Metal, firm and direct.

The friction is that neither likes to give way. Two hard edges can clang, especially over who is right. Apologies may be rare on both sides. What helps is a shared goal to pull toward. When they face the same way, they're hard to stop.

Two strong, honest people who tend to work best facing the same goal, not each other.

Two swords hung side by side on a wall look like a matched pair. Same steel, same edge. Here mother-in-law and daughter-in-law share the same Day Master: strong, direct metal. Each is a Friend to the other, the star of the equal and the mirror. They tend to respect honesty, hard work and a job done properly. When they agree, they move fast. A house move or a big family event often shows how well they team up.

Two blades can also clash. Neither likes being told what to do, and both say things straight. Small arguments can turn into standoffs where nobody backs down. It helps to divide tasks so each one leads her own part. A little humour cools steel faster than any argument.

Two of a kind who work well side by side; separate tasks and some humour prevent standoffs.
