A Chong (冲) year — opposite branch, high-friction growth year
In goat the year branch is the Goat (Fire), which sits directly opposite the Ox — the classic Chong (冲) relationship. Traditional readings describe Chong years as high-friction: more movement, more decisions, more chances to break stale patterns. The friction is the feature, not the bug.
A Chong-year practice: when the year pushes, ask "is this door worth the shove?" before pushing harder. Friction spent on the right door is progress; spent on the wrong one is just noise.
