Void
Also called: empty branch, kong wang, void branches
The Void, or Empty branches (空亡, Kōng Wáng), in each ten-stem decade of the sixty-year cycle, two of the twelve branches are left uncovered. Measured from your Day pillar, whatever sits on those two branches feels less substantial or asks for extra grounding; it is not bad luck, just a lighter, emptier quality.
