Gui Wei Day Pillar 癸未

The Day Pillar is the two characters of the day you were born: a Heavenly Stem on top (your Day Master, the “you” of a Saju chart) and an Earthly Branch below (your inner self and spouse palace). In Gui Wei (癸未), the Day Master is Gui Water (a clear spring and a gentle drizzle) sitting on the Goat branch, whose element is Earth.

You sit on the earth that governs you (Seven Killings), delicate, warm and deep in thought. Soft outside and firm inside, you need rest for your peace of mind.

Gui Water is like a clear spring or a fine drizzle that quietly seeps in and moistens everything. Your intuition is excellent and you sense even what can’t be seen. You may look quiet but think deeply inside, and stay calm in a crisis. You rarely show your inner thoughts, so opening up a bit more to close people helps.

What makes Gui Wei different from the other five Gui Water Day Pillars is the branch it sits on, covered below.

With Wei beneath your Day Master, you are tender-hearted, affectionate and quietly stubborn. There is warm earth energy in your spouse seat, so you have deep ties with generous, caring people. The wish to be understood without speaking is the seed of hurt, so put what you need into words.

The energy of strong charisma (Seven Killings) sits in your spouse seat, so you are drawn to driven, tough partners. There may be tension and conflict, but it can be a relationship that helps each other grow.

Gui Water loves gently and sensitively like a drizzle. Highly empathetic, you read and comfort your partner, but you think a lot and easily imagine worries alone. When you want to check something, ask instead of guessing.

Seven Killings here means: Seven Killings (Pian Guan) stands for strong drive and a spirit of challenge, and sometimes for pressure and trials too. You have a competitor’s nature that shows true worth in a crisis and often stand out in seats with heavy responsibility. You can often be in situations of stress and burden, so it helps to prepare your own way of releasing tension in body and mind.

Tomb (Mu): the energy of storing and putting away. Strong in gathering, whether wealth or thoughts, and deep inside.

Hidden inside the Goat branch: Ding (Fire, 9 days), Yi (Wood, 3 days), Ji (Earth, 18 days). These quieter energies show up in private, under stress or later in life.

Areas to look after: kidneys, bladder, reproductive organs, ears, bones and lower back.

Too much Water energy can cause swelling or chills, and thoughts chaining on may deepen low mood. Exercise that makes you sweat, sunlight and turning thoughts into action with a to-do list help.

Too little Water energy brings dryness and fatigue that doesn’t recover, and the lower back, knees and ears may weaken. Drink water often, sleep enough and build lower-body strength.

• Six Harmony: the Goat pairs with the Horse. People with a Horse Day Branch often feel an easy pull toward you.
• Three Harmony: the Rabbit · Goat · Pig form a Wood team, so those animals tend to bring out your best.
• Clash: the Goat clashes with the Ox. It is not doom, only a spot where friction and change come easily.
• Perfect match on stem and branch: Wu Wu (戊午) combines with Gui Wei on both the stem and the branch.
• Opposite pillar (most friction): Ji Chou (己丑): its stem is Seven Killings to you and its branch clashes with yours.
