Decline (衰)

Decline (衰) is the gentle turn past the peak — energy softening into maturity, wisdom and a more reflective pace.

On the Day Branch, Decline gives a calm, considerate and grounded nature, preferring stability and depth over the spotlight.

Wisdom, prudence, steadiness and a thoughtful, supportive presence that others find reassuring.

Passivity, conservatism and underestimating yourself. Don’t mistake calm for giving up — your seasoned judgment is valuable.
