Casting context

Month branches follow solar terms, not lunar months. Enter a verified month branch and sexagenary day; this page does not convert Gregorian dates.

Next: line 1

Inscribed side = 2, reverse = 3. Three coins form each line, from bottom to top.

Casting and lookup rules
  1. Three independent coin sides form one line. Cast six times from bottom to top: 6 changes to yang, 9 to yin; 7 and 8 stay fixed. Manual entries follow the same values.
  2. Jing Fang’s eight palaces determine the primary palace element and host/guest. Host positions are 6, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3 through the eight stages; the guest is three positions apart.
  3. The lower trigram uses inner stems and branches; the upper uses outer ones. Moving lines are reassigned using the changed trigrams.
  4. Use the primary palace element as self: equal is siblings, self-generated descendants, self-controlled wealth, controlling self officials, and generating self parents. Changed relatives retain the primary palace element.
  5. Start at the bottom by day stem: Jia/Yi Azure Dragon, Bing/Ding Vermilion Bird, Wu Hooked Array, Ji Flying Serpent, Geng/Xin White Tiger, Ren/Gui Dark Warrior; cycle upward.
  6. The two branches missing in the ten-day cycle are void. Mark the branch opposite the month or day as the respective clash. A day clash does not automatically mean hidden movement.
  7. For a missing relative category, take its same-position hidden line from the pure palace hexagram. The focal lookup checks visible and hidden lines without choosing among multiple candidates.
  8. Only moving positions display changed stems, branches and relatives. This chart uses Na Jia; the separate yarrow page’s Zhu Xi reading rules are not applied here.
