己巳 Day Pillar · Ji · Snake

Early-summer rising fire warming field soil.

Stem Ji (己) · Branch Snake (巳)

Ji (己) is yin Earth, which the Dichten Sui calls low and moist (己土卑濕), and Si (巳) is the Fire of early summer (孟夏). With rising fire warming earth (火生土), it reads as moist field soil taking early-summer heat, drying and warming.

How to read this pairing

Jeombaksa reads this as low, moist field soil taking the now-rising early-summer fire and gaining warmth. 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

• Low, moist yin earth taking the rising fire of early summer and warming
• Fire giving rise to earth (Resource) — the now-rising warmth seeps in and firms the ground
• Even in the same 火生土, unlike the high-summer great mountain (Wu-Wu), the moist field soil’s just-beginning-to-dry nature stands out

A note of caution

Within these two characters only Earth and Fire 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 taking in warmth, by what do you decide where to hold and firm, and where to let flow?

Relationships · How much do you open a warmed heart to the other person?
