Earthly branches. 12 animals of the Chinese calendar

The earthly branches are cyclic signs of the duodecimal cycle.
There are only twelve earthly branches, each for reference is given the name of one of the animals of the eastern horoscope. And in order to form an opinion about a person, it is enough to remember the behavior of specific animals. This does not give the main picture, but is a good complement to personality traits.

Each earthly branch does not represent any element. This is a container filled with Hidden Heavenly Stems (HTS)

, which bear certain characteristics. 子 (Tzu) - Water Yang - the main Qi 癸 (Kwei, Gui) 丑 (Chou) - Earth Yin - the main Qi 己 (Ji) 寅 (Yin) - Wood Yang - the main Qi 甲 (Jia) 卯 (Mao) - Wood Yin - basic Qi 乙 (Yi) 辰 (Chen) - Earth Yang - basic Qi 戊 (Wu) 巳 (Si) - Fire Yin - basic Qi 丙 (Bin) 午 (Wu) - Fire Yang - basic Qi 丁 (Ding)未 (Wei) - Earth Yin - main Qi 己 (Ji) 申 (Shen) - Metal Yang - main Qi 庚 (Gen) 酉 (Yu) - Metal Yin - main Qi 辛 (Xin) 戌 (Xu) - Earth Yang - main Qi 戊 (Wu) 亥 (Hai) – Yin Water – main Qi 壬 (Ren, Ren)

Summary table of mergers and collisions of the Earthly branches

Seasons
Earthly branches form groups - seasonal combinations or seasons

: Spring: Main element - Tree: Tiger (), Rabbit (), Dragon (); Summer: Main element - Fire: Snake (), Horse (), Sheep (); Autumn: Main element - Metal: Monkey (), Rooster (), Dog (); Winter: Main element - Water: Pig (), Rat (), Ox ();

The presence of a group of seasons in a bazi chart greatly enhances the element of season.

For a merger (grouping) to occur, certain conditions must be met:

season Spring - Earthly branches Tiger (), Rabbit (), Dragon ( ) when merging, the qi of the Tree is formed. The condition for the merger is a Tree or in the Heavenly trunks (except for the Lord of the day) or a Rabbit in the Earthly branch of the monthly pillar of the map.

season Summer - Earthly branches of the Snake (), Horse (), Sheep () when merging, the qi of Fire is formed. The condition for fusion is Fire or in the Heavenly trunks (except for the Lord of the Day). Or Horse ( ) in the Earthly branch of the monthly pillar of the chart.

season Autumn - Earthly branches Monkey (), Rooster (), Dog ( ) when merging, Metal qi is formed. The fusion condition is Metal or in the Heavenly trunks (except for the Lord of the Day). Or the Rooster ( ) in the Earthly branch of the monthly pillar of the chart.

season Winter - Earthly branches Pig (), Rat (), Ox ( ) when merging, Water qi is formed. The condition for merging is Water or in the Heavenly trunks (except for the Lord of the Day). Or Rat ( ) in the Earthly branch of the monthly pillar of the chart.

In the earthly group, the Earthly branches include the Dragon, Ox, Sheep, and Dog.

Seasonal combinations create the strongest interactions and have the highest priority.

They operate both inside the map and when one of the Earthly branches comes from outside. The strongest and brightest manifestation of energy is noted in the Earthly branches located in the middle of the season - these are the Rat - strong qi of Water, the Horse - strong qi of Fire, Rabbit - strong qi of Wood, Rooster - strong qi of Metal.

Combination of three - triangle of Earthly branches

Mergers of the Earthly branches in triangles, known as the “element of three”, “combination of three” (see figure below), forming one element - the second most powerful interaction of the Earthly branches: Tiger + Horse + Dog = Fire; Pig + Rabbit + Sheep = Tree; Monkey + Rat + Dragon = Water; Snake + Rooster + Bull = Metal;

This combination differs from the seasonal one in that its Earthly branches can also act in twos (as a pair). The main condition for this: one of the two active Earthly branches must be the central Earthly branch of the combination. For the combination to take place, again, a germ is needed in the NS. And in the Earthly branch of the month there should be no element that controls the resulting element.

Mergers of Earthly branches with the formation of the resulting element. This is the third most powerful and significant interaction. Only neighboring Earthly branches participate in the merging of the Earthly branches in the bazi chart. And only if they are not involved in two stronger mergers. Rat + Ox = Earth Tiger + Pig = Wood Rabbit + Dog = Fire Dragon + Rooster = Metal Snake + Monkey = Water Horse + Sheep = Fire

It is believed that when the Earthly Branches merge to form an element (in seasons, in a combination of three or in mergers), they are no longer “distracted” by other interactions - collision, harm, etc.

For more information about Seasonal Mergers, Combinations of Three, Mergers, Collisions and other interactions, read the material: Interactions of the Earthly Branches

Collisions of Earthly Branches

In a clash of Earthly branches in a bazi chart, only neighboring Earthly branches participate. Rat Horse. Sphere: the clash of intelligence and old age, innovation and authority. Bull Sheep. Scope: change of ownership, skin problems, food poisoning. Tiger Monkey. Sphere: accidents, scandals, emotional outbursts Rabbit Rooster. Sphere: betrayal of close circle Dragon Dog. Sphere: collision of movement, change of work or housing Snake Pig. Area: vascular problems, curiosity

If the element is beneficial and has undergone such a collision, then a difficult time has come for that aspect of human life. If an unfavorable element has suffered, then, on the contrary, there will be successful moments in this area. Collisions inside the bazi map

.
Clashes within the card itself indicate disharmony in a person's character and attitude. The absence of various collisions in the bazi chart indicates a more stable, stress-resistant personality. Collisions coming from outside.
If a colliding Earthly branch comes from outside to some Earthly branch, then inevitable changes are coming.
How to protect yourself? Take control of changes, define their area and direction yourself. If the collision concerns the Earthly branch of the day (the house of marriage) - changes in marriage, relationships. If the collision concerns the pillar of the year, then first of all, pay attention to the health of the parents. If the collision came to the Earthly branch of the month, then the problem will affect relationships with brothers, sisters, friends, colleagues. When faced with the hour, you need to pay attention to the children, their health, studies, and behavior. For those who are just thinking about children, this year will be successful for planning a pregnancy. You also need to look at which relative star, which deity the collision came to - and draw the appropriate conclusions. Harm of the Earthly branches
. Compared to collisions, the harm is more intense and unpleasant. It usually causes emotional problems and is difficult to predict (unless, of course, you study bazi). In addition to emotional problems, as a result, we have losses. Rat - Sheep: problems with raising children, confusion, confusion Ox - Horse: lack of patience, emotional outbursts, short temper Tiger - Snake: serious accidents Rabbit - Dragon: legal problems, litigation Monkey - Pig: harm from wrong thinking, intrigue, introduction misleading Rooster - Dog: back injuries, bodily injuries

Destruction (breakdown) of the Earth's branches

Disruption indicates the presence of behavior that is potentially harmful to us. Rat - Rooster: depression, alcohol abuse, drug addiction Snake - Monkey: lack of stability Tiger - Pig: quick success is followed by failure Rabbit - Horse: breakup, problems with relatives Sheep - Dog: threats, the need to move Ox - Dragon: anger, nervousness, hysteria, incontinence For pairs Snake - Monkey and Tiger - Pig, which can be both a merger and destruction, the formation of a merger is important. If the merger is supported by a sprout in the Heavenly trunk, then there will be no destruction.

Punishments

Fire Punishment

— Tiger Snake Monkey

Fiery punishment is the punishment of ingratitude. We do not look at the usefulness or unusefulness of fire. Important: two elements out of three can also form a punishment. But fiery punishment is not always “horror, horror.” The fact is that in this punishment, several interactions are considered: the merger and destruction of the Snake Monkey, harm to the Tiger Snake, the collision of the Tiger Monkey. These are problems of family relationships: mother is Tiger, child is Snake, father is Monkey. It is important to look at the strength of each element to determine which interactions will work and which will not. If the Snake can accept generation from the Tiger, then there will be generation, support, and not overcoming, harm. If the merger of the Snake and the Monkey occurs, then there will be no punishment, and the Monkey will not collide with the Tiger.

Earth punishment

— Bull Sheep Dog Punishment is humiliating, punishment is depression. If it is in the map, it gives a gloomy attitude, cynicism, skepticism, black humor. A person demonstrates his superiority, uses his talents to intimidate, proves to everyone that “they are idiots.” This is an unhealthy sense of competition. It is difficult for a person to accept that someone nearby can be better. Can't stand other people's success. They are very critical of people, and may even be unfair in their criticism.

Uncivilized punishment

: Rat and Rabbit This is punishment against the will, violence. Manifested by a lack of respect for other people. In general, this punishment can be described as follows: a lot of water, a weak tree, the tree stands in the water, rots, and does not prosper, i.e. water does not nourish the tree, but destroys it. It is very important to see if the Rat and Rabbit are useful for the card. If they are useful, then the Rat gives birth to the Rabbit, and does not overcome it.

Self-punishment

- two Pigs; two Roosters; two Dragons; two Horses Often this is a painful conceit. Self-punishment spoils relationships with people through the fault of the person himself. If this is an element of self-expression, then the person himself is causing trouble for himself through his actions. These could be bad habits, overeating. For self-punishment to be realized, there must be an element of this element in the NS. For example, for self-punishment of Dragons, Earth is needed, for self-punishment of Horses, Fire is needed.

Three Sha Tables

Using this table, you can calculate the unfavorable days of influence of the energies of the Three Shas of the month, year, and Personal Three Shas.

"Like a cat and a dog"

Of considerable importance is how the patron animals interact with each other according to Feng Shui. Among them there are antagonists, that is, those who will try with all their might to harm each other. Here are all these pairs:
