About ColorLife Liqi
Philosophy
ColorLife Liqi is not a traditional almanac tool. It is an attempt to make the metaphysics model computable.
We believe the four pillars are, at their core, a quantifiable energy structure — the five elements have strength and weakness, the ten gods wax and wane, the luck cycles rise and fall. Rather than stopping at vague fortune-telling language, we render this structure with a deterministic model so that everyone can see the energy distribution and cyclical patterns within their own chart.
This is not a rejection of tradition. It continues one particular thread within it — the thread of liqi: *reason about the qi, and from the qi, read the momentum*.
The Liqi Model
The core of the model transforms the four pillars into computable energy signals:
- Elemental Energy: Normalized shares of metal, wood, water, fire and earth after hidden-stem, seasonal, combination and clash weighting. The strongest and weakest elements often point to the central tension of a chart.
- Ten-God Distribution: Counted from the day master across stems and hidden stems. The ten gods are the language of relationships — who generates me, whom I control, who shares my nature — shaping personality and behavior.
- Momentum Curve: The day master's energy across the twelve stages (birth → bathing → robing → official → prosperous → decline → illness → death → grave → extinct → embryo → nurture), spanning the pillars and luck cycles to plot a lifetime of energy flow.
- Body–Use Relationship: The pillars are the body (main qi); the luck cycles are the use (guest qi). Main-weak/guest-strong and main-strong/guest-weak are normal; both strong (excess) or both weak (deficiency) signal imbalance, warranting attention to adverse signals of the corresponding element during those periods.
- Directional Adjustment: Favorable and unfavorable directions are judged by day-master strength. A weak day master benefits from directions that generate or share it; a strong one benefits from those it controls or generates — marked by Bagua sectors and Later-Heaven numbers.
