Yi Hai Day Analysis
Today is governed by Yi Hai, in the Jia Xu Xun, with the void falling on Shen You. The Hai branch (Water) presides. Branch clash today: Hai Si — matters tied to the clashed branch are better postponed. Harmony: Hai Yin — favorable for partnerships and alliances.
Date selection weighs the day's stems and branches, five-element interactions, branch relations and focus-line strength together. Lines falling on the void (Shen You) lose their timing — pick another day if your focus line sits there. Health, career, wealth and other areas each read differently: see the per-topic analysis below.
