Four-Pillar Palace Diagnostics: 丑 (Chǒu) & 戌 (Xū)
When evaluating Ox (丑) and Dog (戌) in authentic Four-Pillar synastry (合婚), classical practitioners inspect which natal palace hosts the 丑–戌 vector (Three Punishment Friction (三刑) · 丑戌相刑). 丑 governs the 12th Lunar Month (Late Winter) command (01:00 – 02:59, North-Northeast (30°), Six-Harmony ally Rat 子), whereas 戌 anchors the 9th Lunar Month (Late Autumn) command (19:00 – 20:59 (Dusk), West-Northwest (300°), Six-Harmony ally Rabbit 卯).
Across the 12-branch ecliptic wheel, 丑 (#2) and 戌 (#11) sit 9 steps apart, creating a 66% baseline resonance between Yin Earth (Chou Ox (丑牛) — The Mineral Vault & Steadfast Builder) and Yang Earth (Xu Dog (戌狗) — The Citadel Sentinel & Furnace Vault of Fire).
