In the Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic), the same 12 Earthly Branches (十二地支) and Five Elements that govern your BaZi chart also regulate the 24-hour circulation of Qi and Blood through the 12 Primary Organ Meridians. When an element in your natal chart is excessive or deficient, its corresponding meridian window requires targeted circadian care.
