Void, month-break, and the day clash

These three mark a line that is thin or clashed in this cast. They depend on the branch after najia, and on the month and day of the cast. With no moving line, you still look at where the useful god sits now.

Write the three marks apart

Void is a branch with no partner in this ten-day cycle. Month-break is a clash from the month. Day clash is a clash from the day. Do not merge them into the word bad.

A still hexagram does not grow a moving line

If the useful god sits in void or is clashed by the day, write that place. Do not add an old yang so the hexagram can move.

The useful god in void

Illustration: the useful god’s branch sits in the current void, and no line moves. Write useful god in void, primary hexagram still. It is not “the matter has already failed,” and it is not a reason to change a line so a second hexagram appears.

Common mistakes

  • Reading void as a matter that does not exist.
  • Adding a moving line to a still hexagram.
  • Calling month-break or day clash without a branch.

Frequently asked questions

Is this void the same as BaZi void?

Both use a ten-day cycle, but this cycle follows the day of the cast, not a birth day pillar. Do not copy them across.

If all three appear, which wins?

Write all three. The useful god is the subject. The marks sit on it.

Can they decide a lawsuit?

No. The marks are not a legal conclusion.
