FreeWhat to do now
FreeThe entry for this pattern gives no instruction like "do this". The original only goes as far as saying what is involved (the Spirits and Generals).
This site's rule: the items above put what each General governs into words of action. The original wording is added under each item.
When to act
Free- Timing in days Within 40 days
- Timing in months
- Timing by day Days of joyDays of worry
The original does not say from which day to start counting, or which of the three kinds of timing to look at first.
This site's rule: the day you divine counts as day 1. Both months are shown.

The pattern that was cast
This is the board for this two-hour period. Everything from "一 Reading" to "結 For you right now" above is this board read by the rules of the original.
- From the outside in: the Twelve Branches of Earth, the Twelve Spirits of Heaven, and the Twelve Heavenly Generals
- Red outline = where the Monthly General is laid over the divination hour
- Red fill = the Use (the start of the Three Transmissions)
The Three TransmissionsThe flow of the pattern: from the Use (the start), through the Middle, to the Final (the end)
See how the pattern is builtThe Four Lessons and the seven steps of casting (with the original text)
The Four LessonsLesson 1 is on the right. The top is the Spirit; the bottom is the place where that Spirit sits
Overcoming (clash) = one phase pressing down on another. The Lesson where the upper Spirit overcomes the lower one becomes the Use, the starting point of the pattern.
How the pattern is castWith the words of the original
The original does not set rules for turning clock time into a two-hour period such as "the Tiger hour", for where one month ends and the next begins, or for when the day changes.
This site's rule:
