Overview of Day Master Characteristics
The Yi Si day has Yi Wood (yin wood) as its Day Master, sitting on Si Fire. Within Si, the hidden stems are Bing (Eating God) / Wu (Indirect Wealth) / Geng (Direct Officer), which means the spouse palace contains the signals of “Eating God generates Wealth, Wealth generates Officer.”
- Personality: flexible, aesthetic sense, values loyalty and relationships, acts with planning and rhythm
- With fire support, expression and creativity are strong
- With wealth stars, good at managing money; with officer stars, emphasizes discipline and responsibility
- Weakness: overabundant fire burning wood, or strong officer without seal support — the former brings impatience and overwork, the latter suppresses creativity
Key terms: gaining seasonal qi, rooted, useful god, Eating God generating wealth, Officer-Seal combination, Bi-Jie (companions), Si-Hai clash, Yin-Si-Shen three punishments, Si-You-Chou metal trine
Spring (Months: Yin, Mao, Chen)
Wood flourishes in spring, Yi Wood is vigorous, and with Si Fire forms “Wood-Fire brilliance.”
Destiny Traits
- If water (Ren/Gui) appears to nourish wood, and fire (Bing) to release brilliance, structure is clear
- If wood is excessive without metal control, Shang Guan vs. Officer issues appear (conflict with authority)
Career
- Suited for creative planning, design, education, culture, fashion — “Wood-Fire” industries
- If Officer (Geng) appears and Seal (Jia/Gui) supports, professional or institutional careers thrive
Marriage
- Spouse palace holds Officer and Wealth, romantic and proactive in relationships
- In years of Hai (Si-Hai clash) or Shen (Yin-Si-Shen punishment), relationship tension and boundary issues arise
Health
- Pay attention to liver, tendons, and eyes
- Excess Wood-Fire may cause heart fire rising; early rest and stress release are important
Useful God Tip: Favor Metal and Water. Geng/Xin (metal) to control wood’s excess, Ren/Gui (water) to nourish wood and balance fire.
Summer (Months: Si, Wu, Wei)
Fire and earth dominate; “Fire blazing burns wood.”
Destiny Traits
- Expressive, active, easily gains spotlight
- Excess fire without water brings rashness, poor judgment; if wealth stars appear without seal, overwork for money
Career
- Strong in media, broadcasting, catering, beauty, tourism — fire industries bring recognition
- Beware excessive Shang Guan clashing with Officer; Officer-Seal combination stabilizes promotions
Marriage
- Passionate love, but quick to cool
- Spouse palace shows marriage potential, but fire too strong causes power struggles — compromise needed
Health
- Risks for heart, blood pressure, throat, oral issues
- Stay hydrated, calm the mind, avoid overwork and late nights
Useful God Tip: Water first to control fire, then Metal to regulate Wood-Fire; a little Earth can stabilize but too much suppresses wood.
Autumn (Months: Shen, You, Xu)
Metal is dominant; “Metal cuts wood.” Si and You half-combine, Si-You-Chou form the metal trine.
Destiny Traits
- Officer stars (Geng/Xin) strong, discipline and authority highlighted
- Excess metal suppresses wood’s vitality, creativity restricted, easily stressed
Career
- Suited for law, finance, manufacturing, data analysis, medical devices — “metal” industries
- With Seal (Gui/Jia), can innovate within system; without Seal, stress and fewer mentors
Marriage
- Officer stars strong, marriage relatively stable
- But Shang Guan vs. Officer pattern causes nitpicking or excessive criticism
Health
- Pay attention to lungs, skin, teeth
- Balance with warm fire (Bing) and wood (Yi), maintain regular exercise
Useful God Tip: Reinforce Wood and Fire for vitality. Metal is already abundant.
Winter (Months: Hai, Zi, Chou)
Water dominates; wood is nourished but cold — needs fire for warmth.
Destiny Traits
- Water and wood nourish each other, strong learning and insight
- Without fire, wood is frozen, indecisive, lacking action
Career
- Excels in research, writing, translation, IT, psychology, investment/data fields
- If Bing Fire (Eating God) appears, knowledge can be expressed and monetized (Eating God generates Wealth)
Marriage
- Values spiritual connection in relationships
- In Hai years (Si-Hai clash), possible relocation, distance, or value conflicts
Health
- Cold extremities, weak kidneys
- Needs Fire and Earth: sunlight, warm foods, support spleen and stomach
Useful God Tip: Prioritize Fire for warmth, Earth for stability. Water already abundant, avoid excess.
Yi Si Day Pillar Common Patterns & Yearly Notes
- Eating God generates Wealth: Si contains Bing (Eating God) generating Wu (Wealth), favors content/profession monetization
- Officer-Seal synergy: Officer (Geng) with Seal (Gui/Jia) leads to rising status
- Si-Hai clash, Yin-Si-Shen punishments: in Hai or Shen years, job or relationships may shift, plan ahead
- Si-You-Chou metal trine: officer qi thrives, favorable for exams/promotions, but creativity restrained
Summary & Useful God Guidance
- Weak self (little wood root, excess metal/water): supplement Wood-Fire, use Seal and companions, warm with fire
- Strong self (wood-fire too strong): balance with Metal-Water, metal for discipline, water for wisdom and networks
- Wealth-Officer coexist: use Seal to protect Officer, Eating God to connect wealth, achieving balance in career and marriage
