Secret friends: a pair that completes each other
The Dragon and the Rooster are one of the «six harmonies» (Liu He), the secret-friend pairs of Chinese astrology. They are not alike; rather, each fills in what the other leaves open. From the outside they may look like an unexpected match, but between them runs a quiet trust and natural support. It is a bond in which each stands behind the other in hard times and both grow together.
See your differences as richness, not competition; make room for each other's strengths.
