Void Branches (Xun Kong)

Rat
Chǒu
Ox

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.

Rat ()
Abstracted: movement, communication, circulation, connection
When Void

Efforts don't immediately circulate. Communication is delayed or indirect. Mobility is mental more than physical.

When Activated

Messages land. Connections form. Movement resumes with clarity.

Ox (Chǒu)
Abstracted: accumulation, security, resources, patience
When Void

Stability feels provisional. Resources exist but feel inaccessible. Long-term security is postponed.

When Activated

Foundations solidify. Savings, assets, or commitments become real.

Logic Flow:
