The Rat and the Dragon form a half triad
The Rat and the Dragon form a half triad. 申子辰 is one triad group (the water group), and 子 is the royal branch at its centre.
Inyeon-Link accepts only pairs that include the royal branch, so this pair is a half triad (88).
The Monkey (申) and the Dragon (辰) of the same group lack the central character 子, so they are not counted as a harmony and are treated as neutral.
On the circle, 子 is in the first place and 辰 in the fifth, and the two characters are four steps apart.

How far it moves the final match rate
If everything else is equal, this pair raises the final match rate by 6.0 points in zodiac compatibility and by 2.8 points in day branch compatibility, compared with a neutral pair.
Zodiac compatibility sets the branches of the birth years side by side, and day branch compatibility sets those of the birth days. The two can be different branches, so the same two people can show different relationships in each.
