The Eighteen Earth Plates
The earth plate stays fixed and depends only on the structure: put Wu in the palace with the structure's number, then place Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui, Ding, Bing and Yi in turn. Yang structures fly forward through the palaces (1, 2, 3 … 9) and yin structures backward (9, 8, 7 … 1), centre included. Here are all eighteen.
