Organ Clock

ORGAN CLOCK


The time of day correlates to the flow of qi through the twelve major meridians and their respective internal organs. The following is the cycle of qi through the channels: 

 

  1. Lung Hand-Taiyin
  2. Large Intestine Hand-Yangming
  3. Stomach Foot Yangming
  4. Spleen Foot-Taiyin
  5. Heart Hand-Shaoyin
  6. Small Intestine Hand-Taiyang
  7. Bladder Foot-Taiyang
  8. Kidney Foot-Shaoyin
  9. Pericardium Hand-Jueyin
  10. Triple Burner Hand-Shaoyang
  11. Gallbladder Foot-Shaoyang
  12. Liver Foot-Jueyin



Once the cycle is complete, it repeats. The time of day correlations are as follows: 

 

  • 3–5 am: Lung Hand-Taiyin
  • 5–7am: Large Intestine Hand-Yangming
  • 7–9am: Stomach Foot Yangming
  • 9–11am: Spleen Foot-Taiyin
  • 11am–1pm: Heart Hand-Shaoyin
  • 1–3pm: Small Intestine Hand-Taiyang
  • 3–5pm: Bladder Foot-Taiyang
  • 5–7pm: Kidney Foot-Shaoyin
  • 7–9pm: Pericardium Hand-Jueyin
  • 9–11pm: Triple Burner Hand-Shaoyang
  • 11pm–1am: Gallbladder Foot-Shaoyang
  • 1–3am: Liver Foot-Jueyin



In the organ clock (pictured herein), the times are color coded by the Five Element designation for each organ/channel relationship. According to Five Element principles, the following colors correspond in the following manner:

 

  1. Red, Fire
  2. Yellow, Earth
  3. White, Metal
  4. Dark, Water
  5. Green, Wood

 


Along with the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) time correlations for channel qi, there is also a cultural designation for the times of day in the Chinese astrological system. There is a cycle of 12 animal signs both annually and hourly. Chinese astrology attributes qualities for the animal year and hour in which a person is born:

 

  • 11am -1am: Rat
  • 1am – 3 am: Ox
  • 3am – 5 am: Tiger
  • 5am – 7 am: Rabbit
  • 7am – 9am: Dragon
  • 9am – 11am: Snake
  • 11am – 1pm: Horse
  • 1pm – 3pm: Goat
  • 3pm – 5pm: Monkey
  • 5pm – 7pm: Rooster
  • 7pm – 9pm: Dog
  • 9pm – 11pm: Pig

The day was the 6th of July 1947. The humans on the earth had, just 23 months before that date, completely delivered themselves to the devil by ushering the mass killing era; one of their gangs had dropped two atomic bombs on another gang killing thousands and thousands of their own species. The turning point towards the end of the so called scientific and progressive - but in reality destructive - civilisation had been reached. A handful group calling themselves 'Parsis' and bickering and brawling about the meaning and definition of that word, had also arrived at the turning point of their existence, onwards to extinction. Their thousands of years old culture, which was founded on the holy word and the teachings, tenets and traditions of the Din-e-Zarathushtra, was fast crumbling. On that memorable day, 6th of July 1947, a Behdin Parsi, who was by vocation a down-to-earth practical lawyer, but by contemplation, a mystic, came out with the first issue of a newspaper looking wee...
