1. What is a Break? How heavy?
A Break is the lightest of the six relations — “Clash, Punishment, Harm weigh most; Break comes next.” A Mao-Wu break is small stuff: flawed success, a hitch midway, a small crack. Keep it lightly in mind, no need to fret.
2. The flavor of Mao-Wu
Mao Wood and Wu Fire, though Wood feeds Fire, still break. Mao and Wu both carry a Peach Blossom and emotional flavor, so this break often touches small cracks in love or mood — warm at first, then changing over small things and fading.
3. Which pillar? When triggered?
Whichever pillar it falls in, it touches that stretch; a Luck Pillar or year bringing Mao or Wu stirs it, smaller than a clash or punishment.
4. How to read a Mao-Wu break
A lone break, let it go; watch whether it stacks with a clash or punishment. Mao-Wu is mostly small friction in mood and relationships — just don’t let a small crack widen.
5. A story from within a chart
A relationship, warm at first, kept hitching on small things and slowly faded (the Mao-Wu flavor). There was no big conflict — only small friction left unhandled. Later the two learned to talk the small things out, and it steadied. A Break reminds you not to let small friction pile up in silence.
