Empty turn
10 / 12
The empty pause — one thing finished, the next not yet formed.
How it shows up in a person
Old attachments loosen here and nothing has replaced them yet. It's an open stage — unsettled, but free to turn any direction.
What matters is which pillar of your chart this stage sits in.

The twelve are one turning cycle: forming, growing, filling, easing, emptying, then forming again. No square is an end.
A stage describes the day master's vigour in that branch. It speaks of energy's phase, not a person's life — so 死, 墓 and 絕 mean stillness, storing and an open gap, not death.
