Pillar Interactions
The stems and branches of the Year, Month and Day pillars interact through combination, clash, punishment, harm and destruction. Together these decide whether the day's energy gathers or scatters.
The three pillars form no notable combination or clash today. The energy is steady, so plan by the auspicious and inauspicious lists below.

The day splits into twelve two-hour periods, each ruled by one of the twelve Yellow Road or Black Road spirits. The Zi hour straddles midnight, so it appears twice: early Zi opens the day and late Zi closes it, each with its own pillar. Pick the right hour and the same task takes half the effort.
