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.
- Stem CombinationBing + Xincombines into WaterYear Pillar, Month Pillar, Day Pillar
Two Heavenly Stems bond and transform into a new element. Partnerships, contracts and alliances come together more easily today.
- DestructionMao + WuYear Pillar, Month Pillar
Branches break each other, so plans shift and results fall short. Leave slack instead of committing everything at once.
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.
