Twelve stages guide

12 / 12

Being looked after while you grow — gathering, not spending.

How it shows up in a person

You gain strength slowly here, often with help from the people around you. Not a stage for hurrying — it's building the base.

What matters is which pillar of your chart this stage sits in.

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.
