Self-punishment
自刑, zi xing. Four of the twelve branches (Dragon, Horse, Rooster and Pig) are held to punish their own repeat, so a chart carrying two of one of those reads as a person getting in their own way in the part of life those pillars govern. Friction that comes round rather than arriving from outside.
