Age 75, 84: the Jǐ Yǒu Decade

When Raven enters her seventy-fifth year, she steps into a decade ruled by Jǐ Yǒu, a pillar that mirrors her own Earth nature through the Friend energy, what we call Bǐ Jiān in Chinese. This period carries the life-stage of Growth, suggesting fresh potential and new directions emerging even at this stage, though the Earth element here is flagged as taboo for her chart, meaning this ten years will test her and ask for deliberate care rather than ease. The clash between this decade's Rooster energy and her natal Rabbit hour signals some internal friction; she may feel pulled between wanting to move forward boldly and a deeper need to protect herself. The work of this chapter is not to fight the tension but to lean into it with awareness, perhaps finding that the very pressure creates clarity about what truly matters. She will likely feel most grounded when she honors both sides of this pull: the Rooster's directness and the Rabbit's need for gentleness.
