Day Master Traits
The Ding-Chou day belongs to the “Water Under the Ravine” (澗下水) element. Ding Fire is yin, gentle and restrained. The Chou Earth is the storage for Fire, containing Xin Metal, Gui Water, and Ji Earth, with a cold and damp quality. This often forms a pattern of “weak fire, heavy earth.” With the support of Wood and Fire, wisdom and talent can flourish; but with excess Metal and Water, struggles and setbacks are common. Ding Fire is like a lamp’s flame, emphasizing warmth in relationships and emotions, but being buried in Chou Earth may feel constrained.
