癸巳 is day pillar number 30 of the sexagenary cycle
When the stem-branch of the birth day is 癸巳, the day stem is 癸 (Water, Yin) and the day branch is 巳 (the Snake). In the sexagenary cycle it is the combination number 30.
Saju-Link calls a person whose day stem is 癸 "Yin Water (癸)", and the line the result screen shows is: "Dew and rain. It seeps in quietly and reads the mood before the words." This line has nothing to do with the reading below or the scores.
What the stems held by the day branch 巳 are to the day stem
The day branch is the spouse position. Read from the day stem 癸, the stems that 巳 holds are as follows. The principal stem (丙) is the branch's representative energy.
| Hidden stem | Position | Share | To the day stem 癸 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yang Earth (戊) | residual (餘氣) | 24.0% | Authority (正官) |
| Yang Metal (庚) | middle (中氣) | 24.0% | Nurture (正印) |
| Yang Fire (丙) | principal (本氣) | 52.0% | Steady Wealth (正財) |
