Overview

Hai–Mao–Wei forms the canonical Wood Three-Harmony group: Hai supplies the birth stage, Mao the cardinal center, and Wei the storage stage. All three branches create the full trine; spring command, Wood roots, exposure, moisture, and continuity determine its force. Clashes and stronger meetings can damage or redirect the group.

Confirm the complete birth-cardinal-storage group

Require Hai, Mao, and Wei as three distinct nodes.

If timing supplies one branch, label the trine as period-specific rather than natal.

  • Verify all members.
  • Date any temporary completion.

Test Wood season, roots, and moisture

Spring command, exposed Wood, and rooted continuity support the phase route.

Strong Metal, dryness, or weak Wood access can preserve the original branches instead.

  • Assess climate and roots.
  • Compare target and source evidence.

Retain clashes and seasonal meetings

Hai may clash Si, Mao may clash You, and Wei may clash Chou.

Members can also join northern, spring, or southern meetings, so group priority must be evidenced.

  • Map overlapping groups.
  • Explain damage or priority.

Keep growth language metaphorical

亥卯未木局 does not prove growth, kindness, education, children, liver disease, or career expansion.

Practical claims need full-chart and real-world evidence.

  • No personality stereotype.
  • No medical or outcome guarantee.
