Momentum Curve
The curve joins the four pillars (year/month/day/hour) with the luck cycles (one per decade). The x-axis is time; the y-axis is the twelve-stage momentum score (0 to 5).
Reading the Curve · Body & Use
The “main qi” fixed by the four pillars is the body (体); the “guest qi” carried by the luck cycles is the use (用). When the Day Master is weak, the guest qi should be strong (nurturing or same-element) to supplement it; when the Day Master is strong, the guest qi should be weak (output, wealth, or officer) to drain it. That is the normal balance of body and use.

Direction Compass
Fixed by the Day Master’s need — weak calls for support, strong for release. Green = go / choose this direction; red = avoid. The branch directions are fixed.
Day Master weak: go toward the directions that birth and match it, to draw in support; avoid the rest.
Favor：艮（土）, 坤（土）, 兑（金）, 乾（金）
Avoid：坎（水）, 震（木）, 巽（木）, 离（火）
