TOPIC HUB · TIMING · 7 MIN READ
Decade, year, month.
Context before precision.
Read natal structure first, decade context second, annual focus third, and monthly windows last.
Start here: Finer timing can feel more exciting, but it is also easier to overstate. Ziheng uses timing to assign planning modes—build, connect, review, recover—and keeps real constraints and evidence in charge.

Frequently asked questions
Should I read one page and stop?
No. A topic page teaches one part of the system. Return it to the complete chart and its connected palaces before forming a conclusion.
Can these guides predict an outcome?
No. They explain a traditional symbolic framework and offer reflection questions. They do not guarantee events or replace professional advice.
