Four-Pillar Palace Diagnostics: 子 (Zǐ) & 丑 (Chǒu)
When evaluating Rat (子) and Ox (丑) in authentic Four-Pillar synastry (合婚), classical practitioners inspect which natal palace hosts the 子–丑 vector (Supreme Six Harmony (六合) · 子丑六合化土). 子 governs the 11th Lunar Month (Winter Solstice) command (23:00 – 00:59 (Midnight Meridian), Due North (0°), Six-Harmony ally Ox 丑), whereas 丑 anchors the 12th Lunar Month (Late Winter) command (01:00 – 02:59, North-Northeast (30°), Six-Harmony ally Rat 子).
Across the 12-branch ecliptic wheel, 子 (#1) and 丑 (#2) sit 1 steps apart, creating a 94% baseline resonance between Yang Water (Zi Rat (子鼠) — The Midnight Navigator & Strategic Pioneer) and Yin Earth (Chou Ox (丑牛) — The Mineral Vault & Steadfast Builder).
