Death (死)

Death (Tod) is the stage of stillness and deep thought — outward energy at rest, the mind turning to study, meaning and the inner world.

On the Day Branch, Death gives a quiet, intellectual and principled nature, drawn to research, philosophy and focused expertise.

Concentration, integrity, scholarship and the patience to master one thing deeply.

Rigidity, overthinking and detachment. Stay connected to people and act on your ideas rather than only pondering them.
