Annual Combinations Entering the Natal Chart
Detect annual stem or branch combinations with named natal participants, then verify formation, transformation, and competing relations.
Overview
Annual Combinations Entering the Natal Chart means the annual stem or branch forms a registered combination with one or more natal participants. Detection is not the same as transformation: Five Stem Combinations, Six Harmonies, Three Meetings, Three Harmonies, and half-combinations have different requirements. Name every participant, palace, and date, then test season, roots, completion, redirection, and competing clashes. A combination does not guarantee union, agreement, marriage, or success.

Identify the exact combination family
Match the annual stem or branch to a registered Five Combination, Six Harmony, Three Meeting, Three Harmony, or declared partial-set rule.
List all natal participants and mark incomplete sets as candidates rather than completed configurations.
- Name the rule family.
- Distinguish complete from partial.
Test transformation separately
For transformation claims, inspect season, roots, support, obstruction, competing control, and the implementation’s school-specific criteria.
A detected pair does not automatically change element, merge identities, or erase the original symbols.
- Publish transformation conditions.
- Retain original stems and branches.
Preserve palace and timing context
State which natal pillar is contacted, what Ten-God or hidden-stem pathway is involved, and when the annual layer is valid.
Check simultaneous clashes, punishments, harms, breaks, and the active Luck Pillar before assigning interpretive weight.
- Keep pillar ownership visible.
- Evaluate coexistence of relations.
Combination is not guaranteed union
It cannot prove marriage, reconciliation, partnership, contract approval, profit, pregnancy, or a favorable outcome.
Use consent, due diligence, legal documents, and direct evidence for consequential choices.
- Avoid harmony-equals-success claims.
- Do not infer another person’s commitment.
