A great tree standing on late-spring soil.

Stem Jia (甲) · Branch Dragon (辰)

Jia (甲) is yang Wood, which the Dichten Sui calls soaring to the sky (甲木參天), and Chen (辰) is the Earth of late spring (季春). With the tree standing on earth (木剋土), it reads as a Wealth position where wood’s energy heads toward earth.

How to read this pairing

Jeombaksa reads this as a straight-rising great tree standing on late-spring soil, wood heading toward earth. 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

• Sky-soaring yang wood (甲) standing on late-spring soil (Chen earth)
• Wood handling earth (Wealth) — the direction of energy heads outward (earth)
• Even in the same 木剋土, unlike grass-like yin wood (Yi-Wei), straight-rising yang wood plants with a firmer footing

A note of caution

Within these two characters only Wood and Earth 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 · When using the strength that heads toward earth, by what do you divide where to push on and where to stop?

Relationships · By what do you watch that a straight-forward direction doesn’t cut against the other person’s grain?
