The tables
Why the pair is rated this way
The Rooster and the Pig are two steps apart on the circle of twelve, both yin. They are not a harmony, a trine, a clash or a harm pair, so the classical tables call the pair neutral: nothing special pulls them together or apart.
The Rooster is a metal sign and the Pig a water sign. In the generating cycle metal carries water, so the Rooster is read as the one who supports and the Pig as the one who grows from it.
The Rooster rules the autumn month that starts around Sep 8 and the hours from 5 pm to 7 pm; the Pig rules the winter month that starts around Nov 7 and the hours from 9 pm to 11 pm.
For comparison, the Rooster's harmony partner is the Dragon and its trine partners are the Snake and the Ox; the Pig's harmony partner is the Tiger and its trine partners are the Rabbit and the Goat.
Reading
In love, friendship and work
Traditionally the Rooster is observant, hard-working and frank, and the Pig is generous, easygoing and sincere. The Rooster tends to bring honesty and order and look for appreciation; the Pig tends to bring warmth and look for good company.
In love, the zodiac neither helps nor blocks this pair, so the rest of each chart, and the two people, decide how it goes.
As friends or co-workers the support tends to run one way, so it helps when the one who gets it gives something back.

Your pair
Check two birth years
A zodiac year starts in late January or February, not on January 1: Chinese New Year calendars switch at Lunar New Year, and saju switches at Lichun, around February 4. If you were born in January or early February, you may belong to the year before.
Beyond the birth year
On Bias Match the animal that counts most is not the birth year but the day branch, the animal in each person's day pillar. If two people's day branches are Rooster (酉) and Pig (亥), the compatibility calculator scores that check as zero, neither plus nor minus, next to five other checks.
The text is fixed sentence templates filled in with the classical relation tables built into the Bias Match engine; no AI model generates or rewrites it. For entertainment only: the zodiac describes old patterns, not what will happen between two people.
