甲午 is day pillar number 31 of the sexagenary cycle
When the stem-branch of the birth day is 甲午, the day stem is 甲 (Wood, Yang) and the day branch is 午 (the Horse). In the sexagenary cycle it is the combination number 31.
Saju-Link calls a person whose day stem is 甲 "Yang Wood (甲)", and the line the result screen shows is: "A tall tree growing straight. Once the direction is set it does not waver, and it would rather endure than bend." This line has nothing to do with the reading below or the scores.
What the stems held by the day branch 午 are to the day stem
The day branch is the spouse position. Read from the day stem 甲, the stems that 午 holds are as follows. The principal stem (丁) is the branch's representative energy.
| Hidden stem | Position | Share | To the day stem 甲 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yang Fire (丙) | residual (餘氣) | 34.3% | Expression (食神) |
| Yin Earth (己) | middle (中氣) | 32.3% | Steady Wealth (正財) |
| Yin Fire (丁) | principal (本氣) | 33.3% | Disruptor (傷官) |
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 甲 as the day stem, Steady Wealth is 己 and Authority is 辛.
For men, the spouse position (Steady Wealth) is 己. 己 is held inside 午 (middle (中氣)).
For women, the spouse position (Authority) is 辛. 辛 is not held inside 午.
