冠带 is one of the twelve life stages. It describes the day master's stage on a branch, not a guaranteed event.
Lookup
Use the day master as the anchor, then read the branch's life-stage label. The engine table for 冠带: 甲:丑 · 乙:辰 · 丙:辰 · 丁:未 · 戊:辰 · 己:未 · 庚:未 · 辛:戌 · 壬:戌 · 癸:丑.
How to Use It
Treat 冠带 as a secondary tone. It can refine how a pillar feels in the chart, but it does not replace ten gods, seasonal strength, or branch interactions.
