How void branches arise
A ten-day stem cycle paired with twelve branches leaves two branches unassigned, called void. This relation does not establish that a matter is nonexistent; traditional assessment considers further conditions.
Keep month break and day clash distinct
A clash with the month branch and a clash with the day branch are distinct. A day clash is not uniformly day break; traditional discussion treats different strength and movement conditions separately.
Six spirits are supplementary
The six spirits are supplementary markers assigned from the day stem. A single marker does not establish injury, theft or celebration. Focus and acting relations must be examined first.
