Common Questions
Q: What if a chart has two clash pairs at once?
A:
Rank them by energy: storehouse clash > prosperity star clash > romance star clash > traveling horse clash. Handle the highest-ranked one first — that's the main story. The lower-ranked ones tag along.
Q: Are clashes always worse than combinations?
A:
Not necessarily. Clashing open a storehouse is a good thing. Clashing romance stars may hurt short-term but be a liberation long-term (clearing out toxic relationships). Combinations aren't all good either — combining and locking a favorable god is like bolting the door on your own opportunity.
