Gongmang marks two Earthly Branches in each 60-year cycle that are void, indicating life areas that feel unfulfilled or karmically incomplete.
Gongmang literally means 'empty death' and identifies branches left unpaired in the 60 Gapja cycle. Since 10 Heavenly Stems pair with 12 Earthly Branches, two branches in each group of 10 remain unmatched—these are void. When a pillar's branch falls in Gongmang, that life area may feel hollow, delayed, or unfulfilled until activated by luck cycles. Some traditions view Gongmang as spiritual sensitivity rather than pure deficiency.
TriAstra calculates Gongmang for each pillar and notes affected life areas. Void branches receive reduced weight in element scoring but may indicate spiritual or artistic sensitivity.
Gongmang areas may feel like something is missing, but they can also represent spiritual gifts. The void creates space for unusual talents and non-material pursuits.
