Void Branches (Xun Kong)

Chén
Dragon
Snake

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.

Dragon (Chén)
Abstracted: foundations, destiny, long-term structure
When Void

Life direction feels non-linear. Foundations require revision. Strategy precedes construction.

When Activated

Structural decisions are made. Long plans crystallize. Foundations stabilize.

Snake ()
Abstracted: desire, ambition, strategy, charisma
When Void

Motivation is intermittent. Desire is intellectualized. Action waits for meaning.

When Activated

Focused ambition. Strategic execution. Fire applied precisely.
