Yi Chou

Lunar 3/18 · Complete

Na Yin

Sea Gold

value held under the surface; retrieve it patiently

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

Tomobiki

bring allies in and avoid forcing a split

Moon phase

Waning moon

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

Clash-sha

Clash Wei · Sha East

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

Daily directions

Wealth direction

Northeast

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

Zi / Shen

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

Fetal-spirit cue

doorway and threshold · 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

Room

Today's mansion draws from Azure Dragon; its working image is "inner chamber and relationship order".

Caution spirits

Stale Qi

completion still needs aftercare

Clash Wei

When Wei 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

Room

Azure Dragon

inner chamber and relationship order

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 Wei

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

Harmonizes with Zi

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

Hidden friction with Wu

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

Day meaning

Yi Chou Day Meaning

Yi Chou places "vine and grass: flexible growth, tact, and relational intelligence" inside "winter storage earth: reserves, patience, and what needs thawing". The point is not fortune first; it is how Wood finds a workable posture inside real conditions.

Heavenly stem image

vine and grass: flexible growth, tact, and relational intelligence

Earthly branch scene

winter storage earth: reserves, patience, and what needs thawing

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 · 2023-05-05

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

Planting needs timing. Do not ask fragile starts to carry too much.

Branch caution

Avoid formal display before the base is ready.

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

Good for

Plan new work in small branches rather than one large promise.

Study, outline, repair a relationship thread, or begin a health-supportive routine.

Use "preparation" as today's rhythm keyword.

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