Original author’s interpretation summary
The author selects the Chou Earth Wife / wealth line at the host position as Yongshen. Yi-Mao belongs to the Jia-Yin cycle, with Zi and Chou void. The changing Si Fire line generates Wealth, but its change to Zi Water is interpreted as returning control. The first casting therefore leaves a question between seasonal strength and void without generation.
Outcome reported in the book
The text gives no separate outcome for this first casting. It explicitly records that uncertainty led the author to request another casting about the same matter. The reported outcome must be read with the next hexagram.
Site review boundaries
- Old yang at line five changes Jiaren to Bi (Adornment), matching the text.
- Yi-Mao is in the Jia-Yin cycle; Zi and Chou are void. The Chou Earth line at the host position is therefore within the void branches.
- The site records the book’s repeated-casting process, but does not recommend repeating a casting whenever a result is unclear.
Reading boundaries
Reported outcomes represent the original author’s account, not independent historical verification. This case is not an automatic interpretation template for a user’s present result.
Topic tags identify structures involved in this case, not divinatory efficacy verified by the site.
Working translation of the site’s Chinese editorial case review, not a translation of the classical source. Native-language review is pending; original source names and locators remain in Chinese.
Ten-day-cycle void
Structural implementation
The day’s ten-day cycle determines two void branches. Both works discuss further conditions involving phase strength, changing or unchanging lines, and clashes that fill the void. This site calculates only the day pillar’s cycle and void branches and lists the relevant line positions; it does not apply subsequent judgments such as being void yet not void.
Cycle void is a calendrical structure, not a statement that an undertaking is ineffective. It does not automatically determine outcomes or timing.
Return generation / control
Five-phase relation implementation
Returning generation and control compare only the changed phase acting back on the original phase of an actual changing line: the changed line generates or controls the original line. The site does not invent additional names for same-phase, draining or consuming relations, or for the original line acting on the changed line.
These names describe direction only. They do not independently determine the author’s reported outcome and are not converted into scores.
