Dear Kieren,

1. Ideally, the compatibility of two persons is good: normally one common binding element is sufficent.

2. However, there are many different combinations. As you have given an example:

WEAK vs WEAK i.e. weak fire vs weak water.

Here, the binding element would have to be two binding elements: wood and water element: where wood is a necessity here. Where wood must be need to strength the weak fire person and to offset the introduction of water for weak water person.

With this two elements, it will form a combination flow i.e. water -> wood -> fire (flow).

3. Therefore, any of the permutations of:

WEAK VS WEAK
WEAK VS STRONG or STRONG VS WEAK
STRONG VS STRONG

Any of the 5 elements in relation to the above can form a binding element.

The above is Traditional best pratises but I found many FS practitioners not practising it. And this is one of the key analysis that we make use of.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
