Eul-Hae day pillar

Yin Wood over the Pig을해일주 · BaZi: Yi Hai

A water plant floating on a lake. A gentle, clever and adaptable nature that is carried and fed by its surroundings.

The picture

Eul-Hae is a plant on water. The Pig’s Water feeds Yin Wood generously, and there is another, larger tree hidden in the branch as an ally. This pillar is kind, intuitive and quick to learn, and it goes where the current goes. That makes it adaptable and well travelled. It can also make it rootless, waiting to be carried when it should choose a direction.

The Day Master sits on the element that produces it, in the opposite polarity. Support is underfoot: a nurturing home, a caring partner, and a habit of thinking before acting.

These are the facts every Eul-Hae chart shares, whatever the other three pillars hold. They are taken from the same engine that calculates your chart.

Strengths

  • Adaptability: it settles in anywhere.
  • Ease in learning, especially from people.
  • Kindness that draws help.

What to watch

  • Drifting with the current.
  • Dependence on other people’s decisions.
  • Indecision at the moments that count.

In relationships

Tender and affectionate, Eul-Hae wants to be cared for and cares in return. It needs a partner who gives direction without taking over.

At work

Education, the arts, writing, counselling, travel and work abroad.

A day pillar is one of four. Two people born on a Eul-Hae day in different months and hours have different charts: the season decides how strong the Day Master is, and the other pillars add their own ten gods and interactions. Read this page as the starting point, then look at the whole chart.

Questions people ask

What does the Eul-Hae day pillar mean?
Eul-Hae (乙亥) is Yin Wood over the Pig: a gentle, clever and adaptable nature that is carried and fed by its surroundings.
How do I know if Eul-Hae is my day pillar?
The day pillar comes from a sixty-day cycle and from true solar time at your birthplace, so it cannot be worked out from your birth year or zodiac animal. Calculate your chart: if the Day column shows 乙亥, this is your pillar.
What is 乙亥 called in Chinese BaZi?
Yi Hai. It is the same pillar. Korean Saju reads the characters as Eul-Hae and calls it Eulhae ilju (을해일주); BaZi sources write Yi Hai in pinyin.
Which life stage and void branches go with Eul-Hae?
On its own seat the Day Master is at the Death stage (死). Stillness. Not literal death but the end of activity; introspection and endings. The void branches for this pillar are 申 Sin (Monkey) and 酉 Yu (Rooster). The strength of the whole chart depends mostly on the birth month, not on this stage alone.
