戊申 Day Pillar · Wu · Monkey

A great mountain giving its energy to early-autumn metal.

Stem Wu (戊) · Branch Monkey (申)

Wu (戊) is yang Earth, which the Dichten Sui calls firm and upright (戊土固重, 既中且正), and Shen (申) is the Metal of early autumn (孟秋). With earth giving rise to metal (土生金), it reads as an Output (leaking) position where earth’s energy seeps into the branch’s metal.

How to read this pairing

Jeombaksa reads this as a firm great mountain giving its energy to early-autumn metal, earth flowing into metal. 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) giving its energy to early-autumn metal (Shen)
• Earth giving rise to metal (Output/leaking) — inner earth energy flows to the metal outside
• Unlike a Resource place where the branch’s earth generates the stem’s metal (Geng-Xu), here the stem’s earth gives to the branch’s metal — a leaking place

A note of caution

Within these two characters only Earth and Metal 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 earth flows out into metal, how do you divide where to send out and where to pack firm?

Relationships · In a place where earth flows into metal, by what do you keep your own share in a relationship?
