This is the adjusted clock face I was talking about in this blog, http://hhftn.blogspot.ca/2016/02/basic-knowledge-3-properties-of-zodiac.html. Having this pic in mind, it is easier to remember the properties of the basal code. And remember: the middle numbers of every element are the peak stages of the element; the first numbers are the born stages of the next element; the last numbers are Earth and tomb of the previous element. An element's born, peak and tomb stages construct a full merge to that element.
