Gui You

Lunar 12/18 · Complete

Na Yin

Sword Edge Gold

precision helps; blunt pressure hurts

Xun-kong

Jia-Zi decade

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

Six-day rhythm

Taian

steady, broadly usable, and calm enough for agreement

Moon phase

Waning moon

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

Clash-sha

Clash Mao · Sha East

Clash-sha is a warning bell: when Mao 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

cabinet and valuables · South

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

Golden Cabinet

good for storing value, completing, and handing over

Three Harmony

combine three useful resources instead of pushing alone

Dipper

Today's mansion draws from Black Tortoise; its working image is "measure, resources, and northern storage".

Caution spirits

Stale Qi

completion still needs aftercare

Clash Mao

When Mao 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

Complete

finishing, publishing, handing over, harvesting visible progress

completion still needs documentation and aftercare

28 Lunar Mansion

Dipper

Black Tortoise

measure, resources, and northern storage

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 Mao

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

Harmonizes with Chen

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

Hidden friction with Xu

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

Day meaning

Gui You Day Meaning

Gui You places "mist and rain: sensitivity, subtlety, memory, and quiet nourishment" inside "autumn rooster: refinement, voice, finishing, and clean standards". 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

autumn rooster: refinement, voice, finishing, and clean standards

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 Han · 2022-01-20

Climate

the last weight of winter before the first spring movement

Body

notice fatigue, cold limbs, and the body's request for slower mornings

Space

clear what has gone stale without opening every window for too long

Practice

close old loops, settle accounts, and decide what deserves spring attention

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

Meetings need tact. Avoid sharp words when everyone is tired.

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 "completion" as today's rhythm keyword.

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