Four-Pillar Palace Diagnostics: 巳 (Sì) & 申 (Shēn)
When evaluating Snake (巳) and Monkey (申) in authentic Four-Pillar synastry (合婚), classical practitioners inspect which natal palace hosts the 巳–申 vector (Supreme Six Harmony (六合) · 巳申六合化水（兼合中带刑破）). 巳 governs the 4th Lunar Month (Start of Summer · 立夏) command (09:00 – 10:59, South-Southeast (150°), Six-Harmony ally Monkey 申), whereas 申 anchors the 7th Lunar Month (Start of Autumn · 立秋) command (15:00 – 16:59, West-Southwest (240°), Six-Harmony ally Snake 巳).
Across the 12-branch ecliptic wheel, 巳 (#6) and 申 (#9) sit 3 steps apart, creating a 72% baseline resonance between Yin Fire (Si Snake (巳蛇) — The Alchemical Strategist & Birthplace of Metal) and Yang Metal (Shen Monkey (申猴) — The Polymath Engineer & Glacial Source). Introducing Water remedies bridges the South-Southeast (150°) and West-Southwest (240°) sectors while stabilizing their 2026 Bing-Wu trajectories (Snake: Si–Wu–Wei Southern Fire Convergence (巳午未会火); Monkey: Yi Ma Traveling Horse + Fire Refines Geng Metal).
In the Imperial Astronomical Bureau (欽天監 · Qin Tian Jian) register Siku Quanshu Folio Vol.22 Leaf.29b (RA 89.2°), Snake (巳) & Monkey (申) is indexed alongside the Kui Legs Mansion (奎木狼 · Eta Andromedae) and Zhang Extended Net (张月鹿 · Upsilon Hydrae) equatorial lodges during the phenological transitions of "Hoopoes Alight Upon Mulberry Branches (戴胜降于桑)" and "Otters Offer Catch Along Riverbanks (獭祭鱼)". Classical commentators cross-reference parallactic hour-angle vector with zenithal transit culmination to verify how Snake (巳) & Monkey (申) responds to local meridian altitude and seasonal vapor balance.
