Mountain Ring

The ring of a Chinese geomantic compass that carries hexagrams against directions.

What this means

In KAXANTA the bearing is placed on the 24 Mountains, reduced to the mountain trigram, and stacked with the opposite trigram to give the sitting and facing hexagrams — so the reading resolves to eight orientations of 45°. Classical practice subdivides the ring further and weighs the result against the 20-year Period; that finer ring is not computed here.

In practice

In KAXANTA, mountain ring is one of the concepts KAXANTA cross-references when synthesising your reading. The xuan kong da gua engine surfaces it alongside eight other wisdom traditions so you can see how the same question reads through multiple lenses.
