Five dimensions of harmony — a classical lens, scored for modern readers

Alex = Wood 木 (steady root) · Jordan = Fire 火 (warmth & spontaneity)
The Wood-Fire generating cycle shows a bond where affection flows naturally. Alex is the steady root; Jordan brings warmth and spontaneity. The risk is asymmetry — Alex may feel Jordan burns too fast, while Jordan may feel Alex moves too slow.
Alex's Wood speaks with principle; Jordan's Fire speaks with feeling. When aligned, this is a powerful partnership — but under stress, Alex becomes rigid and Jordan becomes sharp.
Both charts carry Earth branches in the hour pillars — a shared grounding in home and lineage. Family values align more than most couples.
Alex values security and mastery; Jordan values expression and recognition. Not opposite — complementary, provided each honors the other's currency.
Fire in Jordan's chart is strong and needs kindling, not smothering. Alex's Wood provides sustainable fuel. This is a relationship with genuine long-term vitality — if Alex remembers to feed the fire, not just admire it.
