The 太陰數 ju, a rotating plate, and the 暗干 ring. No 格局, no auspicious or inauspicious judgement.
Standard Beijing time, no true-solar correction — the convention of the 陰盤 sources this plate follows and of its reference calculator. The year term is this chart’s declared choice; the notes below say where implementations differ.
| Year term | Year no. | Sum | Ju |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year pillar (Li-chun boundary)(current) | 7 | 43 | Yang dun 7 |
| Lunar year (Spring Festival boundary) | 7 | 43 | Yang dun 7 |
| Whichever of Li-chun / Spring Festival comes first | 7 | 43 | Yang dun 7 |
All three conventions give the same ju at this moment.
Layer order: spirit · star · heaven stem (with the hidden stem beside it) · earth stem · gate. The centre stem is always shown beside Kun-2; the centre palace itself carries no earth stem. Solid border = value star, dashed = value gate.
The tradition's own line for the value star and value gate on this plate — literature, not advice.
No 格局 and no auspicious or inauspicious labels: the 陰盤 convention this plate follows reads images directly, so it ships no pattern layer and passes no judgement. A calendrical instrument for cultural study. Not a prediction, not advice.
