A great tree reaching out into late-autumn soil.

Stem Jia (甲) · Branch Dog (戌)

Jia (甲) is yang Wood, which the Dichten Sui calls soaring to the sky (甲木參天), and Xu (戌) is the Earth of late autumn (季秋). At a place where the great tree handles earth (木剋土), the firm tree reaches out into late-autumn soil — a Wealth position.

How to read this pairing

Jeombaksa reads this as a straight-risen great tree reaching out into late-autumn soil. 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 (Jia) reaching out into late-autumn soil (Xu earth)
• A Wealth place (木剋土) where the firm wood energy reaches into late-autumn soil and widens its ground
• Even in the same 木剋土, unlike spring soil (Jia-Chen), this one reaches out into late-autumn soil

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 reaching-out strength, by what do you divide where to widen and where to fold in?

Relationships · By what do you watch that the outward-reaching strength doesn’t push against the other’s grain?
