This site follows the mainstream Ziping reading of 午未 as fire; the earth reading is recorded in the engine as disputed.
Transformation
A harmony is reported wherever the pair appears. It transforms only when the resulting element matches the month branch — combination and transformation are separate claims.
Reading
Harmony indicates binding, cooperation and mutual holding. A harmony on the day branch touches the spouse palace; a harmony can also tie up a branch whose original function the chart needed.
