Void Branches (Xun Kong)

Shēn
Monkey
Yǒu
Rooster

Derived from your Day Pillar, these branches represent "emptiness" (De Kong). When they appear in your chart, they can indicate areas where energy is disconnected, spiritual, or hard to grasp.

Your void branches are not present in the natal chart structure. Their effects are conditional and timing-based.
Activation (Filling the Void)

When a void branch appears through time (Annual Year, Month, or Luck Pillar), its latent influence becomes expressed. Themes that were abstract, delayed, or hard to grasp may move into concrete form, bringing clarity, decision, or consequence.

Monkey (Shēn)
Abstracted: skill application, adaptability, tactics
When Void

Skills underused. Intelligence unnoticed. Adaptation without payoff.

When Activated

Competence recognized. Tactical advantage emerges. Skills convert into results.

Rooster (Yǒu)
Abstracted: standards, detail, value judgment
When Void

High standards without reward. Precision overlooked. Self-critique dominates.

When Activated

Value becomes measurable. Standards rewarded. Precision appreciated.
