Compatibility of 辛 with 庚: Yin Metal and Yang Metal
Each text reads the relationship from 辛, the first person: whoever is asking, for partners and siblings; the mother, the father or the mother-in-law, in the others.
Partners
- Yin Metal
- Yang Metal
A pocket watch beside the anvil
A fine pocket watch sits on a blacksmith's anvil. Both are Metal, so each is Rob Wealth for the other. That's the star of the sibling who shares and competes. The jewel brings detail and taste. The sword brings strength and drive. Together they can get a lot done.
Rob Wealth tends to stir up rivalry, especially over money or credit. The sword may overpower; the jewel may resent it quietly. Keep some money apart, and agree on big costs. Thank each other in front of others. That small habit calms the competition.
A capable, driven team that stays close when rivalry is named and shared out fairly.
Siblings
- Yin Metal
- Yang Metal
Two coins in one pocket
Two coins jingle in the same pocket, one big, one small. Both are metal, both want to count. These siblings are Rob Wealth to each other, the star of the close rival. They're quick to back each other against outsiders. Between themselves, they tend to keep a sharp eye on fairness.
The sword sibling may push ahead, and the jewel sibling may feel scratched. Old remarks about who was favored can still sting. Shared money is the main trap. It helps to write down loans and split costs clearly. Each can praise the other's way of doing things. Two coins are worth more together than apart.
Loyal against the world, watchful with each other; clear money keeps the peace.

The hammer and the pocket watch
A hammer and a pocket watch sit in the same drawer. Both are metal, but one is heavy and the other delicate. Here the child is the hammer and the mother is the watch. Being the same element, they share a strong sense of pride and fairness. Each is Rob Wealth for the other, the star of siblings and rivals. In plain words, they're allies who can also compete.
The child may be blunter and louder, and she may feel bruised. She may seem fussy or touchy to them. Arguments over who's right can drag on. What helps is clear sharing: of space, of time, of say in decisions. Agreeing on a few house rules together works well. Respect for each other's style keeps them on the same side.
Two proud, alike people who can compete; shared rules and mutual respect keep them allies.
Father and daughter

Spoon and ladle in one drawer
In the kitchen drawer, a fine silver spoon lies next to a heavy steel ladle. Both are metal, but one is delicate and one is tough. Here the father is the fine piece and the daughter the strong one. To each other they are Rob Wealth, the star of rivalry and shared effort.
They tend to spur each other on. The friction is that she may overpower him in an argument without meaning to. He can feel scratched or pushed aside. Small contests over money or credit may pop up. It helps when each has a clear role. It helps when she uses her strength to back him, not beat him.
Father and daughter tend to compete as much as they cooperate; clear roles keep them on one side.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law

A fine chain beside a heavy blade
Think of a fine gold chain lying next to a heavy sword. Both are metal, yet they could hardly be more different. The mother-in-law is the delicate chain; the daughter-in-law is the strong blade. Each is Rob Wealth to the other, the star of the rival sibling. They share pride, high standards and a dislike of sloppy work. In plain words: they get each other, even when they won't admit it.
The younger woman can be blunt, and the older one is easily hurt. Rivalry over the same people and the same space may simmer. Neither likes to lose face. It helps to keep score of kindnesses, not of wins. A shared project, like a family celebration, turns rivals into partners.
Similar pride and standards; a shared goal turns rivalry into teamwork.
