Branch Relations (合冲刑害) — Born Hour
Combination, clash, punishment, harm, and break name structural links among branches (and some stems). Grammar of relation — not event scripts.
Combination & clash
Combination themes attraction and bonding; clash themes opposition and tension. Six-harmony, three-harmony, and stem combinations differ in name — all ask who links to whom.
When both appear, label the pillars involved before weighing strength. Do not jump to life drama.
Punishment, harm, break
Punishment labels entangled friction; harm (hai) awkward undercutting; break loosening. Dramatic names, school-dependent weight.
Born Hour surfaces visible tags on the relations row. Read with Ten Gods and month command: types of link, not lawsuits or accidents.
How to read / how not to
Mark pillars → relation kind → day/month involvement → Ten Gods. Compare views use the same grammar without writing endings.
Without an hour pillar, some links cannot be fully marked. Born Hour will not invent them.
