Relationship type: Trine
The Goat and Pig belong to the same trine (san he), a group of three animals four years apart that think alike. This is considered one of the luckiest pairings in Chinese astrology.
Elements: Earth and Water
Earth (Goat) controls Water (Pig) in the five-element cycle, which can feel like pressure unless roles are balanced.
