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.
- Six HarmonyZi + Choucombines into EarthMonth Pillar, Day Pillar
Two Earthly Branches bind together and draw energy inward. Good for meetings, agreements and tying up loose ends.
- Six ClashZi + WuYear Pillar, Month Pillar
Two directly opposite branches collide, bringing movement and upheaval. Better for travel and relocation than for signing or finalising.
- HarmChou + WuYear Pillar, Day Pillar
Branches harm each other, often through hidden loss or strained goodwill. Watch who you work with and guard against disputes.
12 Hour Pillars
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.
