Mao-Xu Harmony into Fire (卯戌合火)
Learn how Mao and Xu form a Six-Harmony pair, which heat and root conditions support Fire, and how Xu storage, clashes, and other groups modify it.
Overview
Mao–Xu Harmony (卯戌合火) joins Mao Wood with the Xu Earth storage branch under a conventional Fire tendency. Wood can feed Fire, but a named pair does not by itself release or transform Xu. Season, heat, exposed Fire, roots, dryness, Mao–You clash, Chen–Xu clash, and competing trines decide the effective status.

Detect the pair without deleting Xu storage
Locate Mao and Xu and mark their pillar distance.
Mao Wood and Xu’s hidden stems remain active unless a stricter conversion test succeeds.
- Confirm the exact pair.
- Preserve the storage composition.
Require a viable Fire pathway
Warm season, exposed Fire, roots, and Wood supply can support the conventional tendency.
Cold, wet conditions or strong Water may keep the pair at harmony or binding status.
- Check temperature and support.
- Record blocking phases.
Audit clashes and trines around both branches
Mao may clash You or join a Wood trine; Xu may clash Chen or join a Fire trine and autumn meeting.
Show the competing structures and their relative seasonal and positional weight.
- List every overlap.
- Explain which route is stronger.
