Detailed Analysis of Mu (Tomb/Storage)
Mu is the ninth of the Twelve Stages, also called Ku (Storage/Treasury). After death, things are buried and all essence and energy are sealed away. Tomb/Storage is a very important concept in destiny analysis.
Basic Meaning
- Stage: Life has ended; essence is stored away in a vault.
- Strength: Power is sealed—not visible on the surface but containing energy within.
- Dual Nature: "Tomb" is inauspicious (burial); "Storage" is auspicious (stored wealth).
Tomb vs. Storage
