Spring wood doubled — wood standing straight over wood.

Stem Jia (甲) · Branch Tiger (寅)

Jia (甲) is yang Wood, which the Dichten Sui calls soaring to the sky (甲木參天), and Yin (寅) is the Wood of early spring (孟春). With Wood in both stem and branch, it reads as wood energy overlapping straight and upright.

How to read this pairing

As a 比和 (Peer) pairing where the same element overlaps, the force gathers in one direction. 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

• Wood overlaps straight, reading as one clear direction
• As early-spring wood, the early upward push stands out
• Stem and branch share one element (干與支同), so the grain reads single-tracked

A note of caution

Within these two characters only Wood shows; 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 · When to push in one direction and when to change course — by what do you tell them apart?

Relationships · How is your straight, upright grain reaching the other person?
