Easing down from the peak — softer, and more settled.

How it shows up in a person

The rush has passed, and you're less interested in proving anything. A calmer, more considered pace suits you here.

Where it sits in the twelve

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 vigor in that branch. It speaks of energy's phase, not a person's life — so Stillness (死), Storehouse (墓) and Empty turn (絕) point to rest after effort, storing and an open gap — not death.
