Na Yin

White Wax Gold

raw material needing refinement before display

Xun-kong

Jia-Xu decade

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

Six-day rhythm

Senbu

move slowly first; clarity improves later

Moon phase

First quarter

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

Clash-sha

Clash Xu · Sha South

Clash-sha is a warning bell: when Xu 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

desk and written records · 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

Removing Spirit

supports cleaning, pruning, and clearing friction

Heavenly Storehouse

review supplies before discarding

Emptiness

Today's mansion draws from Black Tortoise; its working image is "space, mourning, and honest absence".

Caution spirits

Small Loss

clearing can spend more energy than expected

Clash Xu

When Xu 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

Remove

cleaning, canceling stale tasks, removing a small source of friction

avoid cutting something off before you understand why it accumulated

28 Lunar Mansion

Emptiness

#11

Black Tortoise

space, mourning, and honest absence

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 Xu

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

Harmonizes with You

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

Hidden friction with Mao

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

Day meaning

Geng Chen Day Meaning

Geng Chen places "raw metal: decision, pressure, tools, and necessary cutting" inside "dragon earth: mixed storage, weather change, and unresolved power". 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

dragon earth: mixed storage, weather change, and unresolved power

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

Jing Zhe · 2024-03-05

Climate

startling movement, first thunder, and old sleep being disturbed

Body

move tension out, but do not turn agitation into conflict

Space

refresh sound, light, and work zones that have become too sleepy

Practice

announce a small change, wake a project, and avoid impulsive arguments

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

Big emotion needs containment. Do not let one grief open every wound.

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 "organization" as today's rhythm keyword.

Work with the Jing Zhe seasonal tone through one adjustment to verify.

cleaning, canceling stale tasks, removing a small source of friction

Avoid overdoing

Avoid cutting off a person or project while emotionally sharp.

Do not confuse precision with coldness.

Use metaphysics language to choose timing, tone, and sequence; still talk clearly and keep the real-world details in view.

avoid cutting something off before you understand why it accumulated
