Age 72, 81: the Wù Zǐ Decade

You moved through your seventies in a decade called Wù Zǐ, where Earth met Rat, and the Ten-God speaking to you was 比肩, the Friend, that mirror of yourself that shows you your own nature reflected back. This was your Conception stage, 胎, when life begins to form again in quietness; not the vigor of youth, but the slow re-gathering of energy, like a seed finding its shape in darkness. Because this pillar was taboo for your chart, these years asked something of you, they tested your patience and your care, requiring you to move thoughtfully rather than assume momentum would carry you. There were no harsh collisions with your birth chart, no sudden ruptures, yet the decade had its weight; it was a time when you likely felt the company of your own past selves, meeting yourself across time. What you learned in these ten years about your own steadiness, your own company, shapes what you carry forward now.
