The Twelve Earthly Branches correspond to the Chinese zodiac animals and form the lower character of each pillar in Saju.
The Twelve Earthly Branches are: Ja (Rat), Chuk (Ox), In (Tiger), Myo (Rabbit), Jin (Dragon), Sa (Snake), O (Horse), Mi (Goat), Sin (Monkey), Yu (Rooster), Sul (Dog), and Hae (Pig). Each branch has an associated element, time of day, and hidden stems. The branches interact through various combinations, clashes, harms, and punishments that affect interpretation.
TriAstra maps your Earthly Branches across all pillars, analyzing their interactions and hidden stems for a complete picture of element distribution and relational dynamics.
Your Earthly Branches reveal the animal energies in your chart, how different life areas interact, and potential harmony or conflict between pillars.
Understanding Earthly Branches (12 Branches) is just the beginning. See how it manifests in your unique birth chart with TriAstra's triple-system analysis.
