乙酉 Day Pillar · Yi · Rooster

Full-autumn metal handling a grass-like tree.

Stem Yi (乙) · Branch Rooster (酉)

Yi (乙) is yin Wood, which the Dichten Sui calls supple (乙木雖柔), and You (酉) is the Metal of full autumn (仲秋). Full-autumn metal handles the grass-like wood (金剋木), so the branch’s metal presses the stem’s wood — an Officer position.

How to read this pairing

Jeombaksa reads this as full-autumn metal handling grass-like yin wood, metal heading toward wood. This is only the imagery of a two-character pairing; actual tendencies must be read with the other six characters and the season.

What the combination shows

• Supple yin wood (Yi) facing full-autumn metal (You)
• Metal working wood (Officer) — the metal energy coming from outside stands out
• Even in the same 金剋木, unlike the straight-rising great tree (Jia-Shen), grass-like yin wood bends and endures rather than meeting it head-on

A note of caution

Within these two characters only Wood and Metal show; the other six characters of the chart may hold other elements. Don’t judge character from the Day Pillar’s two characters alone.

Questions to ask yourself (work · relationships)

Work · Before a force that means to handle you, how do you choose where to bend-and-endure and where to stand straight?

Relationships · From a bend-and-endure place, by what do you set the line that guards you in a relationship?
