Crown and Belt
A chart describes tendencies in a traditional system. It cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children.
In the classical sources
六曰冠带,万物渐荣秀,如人具衣冠也
Sixth is Crown and Belt: all things grow gradually handsome, as a person puts on clothes and cap.
三命通會 卷二
About this stage
冠帶 is the cap and sash a young person puts on to be counted among adults. The line in 三命提要 is short, plants filling out and a person dressed for the world. Third in the plain list, this stage falls at 未 for 庚 and at 戌 for 壬.
Nothing dramatic is claimed for it. The three-way sorting in 三命通會 leaves it in the ordinary group, beside Officer, Decline and Nurture. For a reader, it says a stem is past its frail start and short of working strength at the particular branch being read. 甲 reaches it at 丑, an earth branch, so stage and element can tell different stories about one pillar.
Where this text comes from
The order of the twelve stages follows 五行大義 volume 2 and 三命通會 volume 2 on Wikisource. The calculator uses that order for wood, fire, metal and water. Works disagree about earth.
The English name follows common modern usage. The wording here is our own plain summary.
