Geng Shen

Lunar 4/7 · Balance

Na Yin

Pomegranate Wood

fruitfulness after pressure; protect what is ripening

Xun-kong

Jia-Yin decade

Void branches: Zi / Chou · This ten-day xun begins with Jia-Yin decade; Zi / Chou 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

First quarter

The moon is taking form: review first progress and adjust effort.

Clash-sha

Clash Yin · Sha South

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

Daily directions

Wealth direction

East

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

Joy direction

Northwest

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

Noble cue

Chou / Wei

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

Fetal-spirit cue

courtyard or balcony · Southeast

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

Root

Today's mansion draws from Azure Dragon; its working image is "foundation and belonging".

Caution spirits

Five Separations

do not mistake emotional distance for balance

Clash Yin

When Yin 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

Root

Azure Dragon

foundation and belonging

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 Yin

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

Harmonizes with Si

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

Hidden friction with Hai

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

Day meaning

Geng Shen Day Meaning

Geng Shen places "raw metal: decision, pressure, tools, and necessary cutting" inside "autumn monkey: analysis, tools, travel, and quick adjustment". The point is not fortune first; it is how Metal finds a workable posture inside real conditions.

Heavenly stem image

raw metal: decision, pressure, tools, and necessary cutting

Earthly branch scene

autumn monkey: analysis, tools, travel, and quick adjustment

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

Li Xia · 2022-05-05

Climate

summer begins, visibility rises, and heat asks for rhythm

Body

protect sleep and the heart-mind from overexcitement

Space

bring light in without creating glare or heat traps

Practice

present carefully, socialize selectively, and keep cool-down time

Classical cautions

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

Stem caution

Do not over-tighten the threads. Structure helps only when tension is right.

Branch caution

Before changing bed or rest zones, check support, door line, and safety.

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

Good for

Edit, decide, sort, archive, set a boundary, or review a contract slowly.

Remove one friction point from your workflow or space.

Use "analysis" as today's rhythm keyword.

Work with the Li Xia seasonal tone through one adjustment to verify.
