High-summer fire loading its energy onto a great mountain.

Stem Wu (戊) · Branch Horse (午)

Wu (戊) is yang Earth, which the Dichten Sui calls firm and upright (戊土固重, 既中且正), and Wu-branch (午) is the Fire of high summer (仲夏). With fire giving rise to earth (火生土), it reads as a Resource position where high-summer fire loads onto the great mountain.

How to read this pairing

Jeombaksa reads this as high-summer fire lending its energy to the great mountain. 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

• Firm, upright yang earth (Wu) receiving generation from high-summer fire (Wu-branch)
• Fire giving rise to earth (Resource) — outer fire energy loads inward
• The Dichten Sui holds Wu earth welcomes moisture when dry (火燥喜潤), so when fire is strong, whether moisture (Water) is present should be read across the whole chart

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 the loaded energy is strong, by what do you separate where to push on and where to soften with moisture?

Relationships · By what do you keep a balance so the loaded strength doesn’t drive the relationship only one way?
