Branch Interactions
The relationships the 12 Earthly Branches form with one another: Combinations that bind two branches, San He triads that unite three into one elemental frame, Clashes that oppose, Harms that undermine quietly, and Penalties that turn pressure inward.
What this means
Ba Zi reads a day or a year against the natal pillars through exactly these channels — they are how a date touches a chart.
