Early-winter water working a lamp.

Stem Ding (丁) · Branch Pig (亥)

Ding (丁) is yin Fire, which the Dichten Sui calls soft within, its inner nature bright and harmonious (丁火柔中, 內性昭融), and Hai (亥) is the Water of early winter (孟冬). With water working fire (水剋火), it reads as an Officer position where the branch’s water energy heads toward the stem’s fire.

How to read this pairing

Jeombaksa reads this as early-winter water working a lamp-like yin fire, water heading toward fire. 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

• Soft yin fire (Ding) facing early-winter water (Hai)
• Water working fire (Officer) — outer water energy heads toward the fire
• Unlike a Wealth place where the stem’s water heads toward branch fire (Ren-Wu), here the branch’s water handles the stem’s fire — an Officer place

A note of caution

Within these two characters only Fire and Water 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 facing water energy that means to handle you, by what do you divide the ember to keep from the flame to lower?

Relationships · When you feel pressed, how do you guard your inner brightness in a relationship?
