Early-spring wood opening a way through a great mountain.

Stem Wu (戊) · Branch Tiger (寅)

Wu (戊) is yang Earth, which the Dichten Sui calls firm and heavy (戊土固重), and Yin (寅) is the Wood of early spring (孟春). With early-spring wood opening the mountain (木剋土), it reads as rising wood cutting a path through firm ground.

How to read this pairing

Jeombaksa reads this as spring wood taking root in a great mountain and opening firm ground. 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

• Early-spring wood rooting into a great mountain (yang earth) and opening firm ground
• Spring is when wood gains strength, so it can set a direction even against a great mountain
• Wood opening earth (Officer) — a place that cuts a way within constraint

A note of caution

Within these two characters only Earth and Wood 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 opening firm ground, by what do you decide whether to force it or follow the grain?

Relationships · How are you opening a way into a relationship that looks solid?
