LESSON P14 / 17 OF 20
The six branch clashes
A Six Clash means two branches collide. Collision brings movement — and movement brings change.

A pair is a place to start looking. It does not predict events on its own.
The six clashes
Zi–Wu, Chou–Wei, Yin–Shen, Mao–You, Chen–Xu, Si–Hai.
A clash is two opposing forces meeting. That area will not stay still.
A clash is not necessarily bad
A clash means movement: moving house, changing jobs, shifting relationships. For someone stuck, that is an opening.
But details slip while things move, so leave slack and do not overbook.
Using it day to day
The Today tab adds a line when the day branch clashes with your birth-year branch. Not a warning — a note that the rhythm breaks easily.
In practice: put important work where it will not be interrupted, and check once more before sending.
A clash is movement, not misfortune. Leave slack and check details twice.
