Day pillars

The 乙卯 Day Pillar

How Saju-Link reads the day pillar 乙卯 — what the stems held by the day branch are to the day stem — laid out exactly as its calculation rules have it.

乙卯 is day pillar number 52 of the sexagenary cycle

When the stem-branch of the birth day is 乙卯, the day stem is 乙 (Wood, Yin) and the day branch is 卯 (the Rabbit). In the sexagenary cycle it is the combination number 52.

Saju-Link calls a person whose day stem is 乙 "Yin Wood (乙)", and the line the result screen shows is: "A vine — flexible grass. It bends with circumstance to keep moving, and it does not snap." This line has nothing to do with the reading below or the scores.

What the stems held by the day branch 卯 are to the day stem

The day branch is the spouse position. Read from the day stem 乙, the stems that 卯 holds are as follows. The principal stem (乙) is the branch's representative energy.

The spouse position and this day pillar

Traditional myeongri reads the spouse position as Steady Wealth (正財) for men and Authority (正官) for women. With 乙 as the day stem, Steady Wealth is 戊 and Authority is 庚.

For men, the spouse position (Steady Wealth) is 戊. 戊 is not held inside 卯.

For women, the spouse position (Authority) is 庚. 庚 is not held inside 卯.
