Gui Mao

Lunar 11/18 · Balance

Na Yin

Gold Foil Gold

beauty and value need backing, not only shine

Xun-kong

Jia-Wu decade

Void branches: Chen / Si · This ten-day xun begins with Jia-Wu decade; Chen / Si act as void-branch cues. Treat them as a prompt to check whether a promise has landed in reality.

Six-day rhythm

Butsumetsu

release, simplify, and avoid ceremonial overstatement

Moon phase

Waning moon

Light is decreasing: sort results, reduce leakage, and return to essentials.

Clash-sha

Clash You · Sha West

Clash-sha is a warning bell: when You themes appear, slow the move, soften the tone, and avoid forcing a result.

Daily directions

Wealth direction

South

Use the wealth direction as a cue for resources, budgeting, receiving, and value review.

Joy direction

Southeast

Use the joy direction for warmer tone, invitations, and softer relationship repair.

Noble cue

Mao / Si

Noble branches point to complementary perspectives; they do not guarantee a specific person will appear.

Fetal-spirit cue

storage and pantry · East

Fetal-spirit direction is a classical timing reference: keep renovation, noise, and heavy movement gentle around the indicated side.

This page translates Tong Shu categories into practical planning language. For professional date selection such as weddings, renovation, or burial, consult a qualified practitioner.

Auspicious spirits

Heavenly Virtue

choose fairness before speed

People Day

good for ordinary agreements and community rhythm

Tail

Today's mansion draws from Azure Dragon; its working image is "completion through persistence".

Caution spirits

Five Separations

do not mistake emotional distance for balance

Clash You

When You appears in people, timing, or context, slow down before concluding.

Two-hour rhythm

Traditional shichen divides the day into twelve two-hour windows. Use it to plan energy, not to outsource judgment.

Reference anchors

The system follows common public calendar patterns: lunar date, ganzhi, solar terms, 12 day officers, 28 lunar mansions, hour periods, and practical yi/ji language.

Hong Kong Observatory Calendar HKO Stems and Branches Tong Shu Almanac 12 Day Officers Time and Date Chinese Calendar

Stillness Dao is a digital tool for education, entertainment, and self-reflection based on traditional Chinese metaphysics. Readings describe timing patterns and practical signals for guidance only — they are not deterministic, promise no guaranteed outcomes, and are not a substitute for professional financial, medical, or legal advice.

Almanac layers

A thicker day reading combines day officer, lunar mansion, and branch relations before you choose an action.

12 Day Officer

Balance

mediation, budgeting, fair distribution, restoring ordinary rhythm

do not call avoidance peace; name the issue plainly

28 Lunar Mansion

Tail

Azure Dragon

completion through persistence

The 28 mansion is used here as an almanac-style reference layer, adding imagery to the day pillar without turning it into absolute fortune.

Branch relations

Clash with You

The day branch opposes You. If that branch appears in a person, time, or situation, slow the reaction and check assumptions.

Harmonizes with Xu

Xu gives a six-harmony cue. Good for finding complementary support, negotiation, and repair.

Hidden friction with Chen

Chen can describe subtle friction. Name small misunderstandings before they become larger.

Day meaning

Gui Mao Day Meaning

Gui Mao places "mist and rain: sensitivity, subtlety, memory, and quiet nourishment" inside "spring rabbit: relationship, doors, aesthetic growth, and gentle movement". The point is not fortune first; it is how Water finds a workable posture inside real conditions.

Heavenly stem image

mist and rain: sensitivity, subtlety, memory, and quiet nourishment

Earthly branch scene

spring rabbit: relationship, doors, aesthetic growth, and gentle movement

Questions

What small step today will leave a signal, not only a mood?

Am I growing, sorting, holding, expressing, or avoiding?

If I write one Journal entry tonight, what do I want to be able to review?

Practical use

Replace an abstract wish with one checkable action.

Compare the yi/ji prompts with your actual schedule; do not obey them blindly.

When the clash branch appears in people or timing, delay the first reaction.

Seasonal field

Da Xue · 2021-12-06

Climate

great snow, deeper stillness, and the call to simplify obligations

Body

avoid depletion, protect sleep, and reduce cold exposure

Space

make home routes safer, warmer, and easier to navigate

Practice

simplify commitments and choose one meaningful winter move

Classical cautions

Peng Zu lines are preserved as cultural memory and translated into modern caution, not fear.

Stem caution

Avoid weak arguments. Gather signals before entering dispute.

Branch caution

Do not dig for resources in the wrong place. Choose the source carefully.

These classical lines are preserved as cultural texture, not literal threat; the page translates them into verifiable modern cautions.

Good for

Research, rest, listen, journal, and let a difficult question become more specific.

Use quiet time for strategy rather than public reaction.

Use "conversation" as today's rhythm keyword.

Work with the Da Xue seasonal tone through one adjustment to verify.
