What does the Eul-Mi day pillar mean?

Eul-Mi (乙未) is Yin Wood over the Goat: a tenacious, practical nature that survives where softer things cannot.

How do I know if Eul-Mi 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 乙未, this is your pillar.

What is 乙未 called in Chinese BaZi?

Yi Wei. It is the same pillar. Korean Saju reads the characters as Eul-Mi and calls it Eulmi ilju (을미일주); BaZi sources write Yi Wei in pinyin.

Which life stage and void branches go with Eul-Mi?

On its own seat the Day Master is at the Nurture stage (養). Gestation: being cared for, preparing, growing quietly toward Birth. The void branches for this pillar are 辰 Jin (Dragon) and 巳 Sa (Snake). The strength of the whole chart depends mostly on the birth month, not on this stage alone.

The picture

Eul-Mi is a plant in hot, dry ground. Yin Wood controls the Goat’s Earth and also has a root hidden in it, so this pillar is tougher than its gentle surface. It is self-reliant, careful with money and determined. This is a White Tiger pillar, and under the calm there is a strong will. What it wants most is water: rest, support, something that gives back.

What the pillar is made of

Part	In Eul-Mi
Day Master	乙 Eul, Yin Wood
Day branch	未 Mi, the Goat
Hidden stems	丁 Jeong: Eating God乙 Eul: Friend己 Gi: Indirect Wealth (main)
Life stage	Nurture 養
Void branches	辰 Jin (Dragon), 巳 Sa (Snake)
Stars it carries	Canopy Star, White Tiger

The Day Master sits on the element it controls, in the same polarity. Enterprise and a feel for opportunity are at the core, and the home tends to be busy and open. In a male chart tradition reads a Wealth star in the spouse palace as a strong tie to the partner.

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

Strengths

Tenacity in thin soil.
A practical sense for money.
Self-reliance that asks for nothing.

What to watch

Stubbornness under a mild manner.
Dryness of spirit when overworked.
A sudden temper that surprises everyone.

In relationships

Practical and loyal, Eul-Mi does not ask for much and should. It needs a partner who offers before being asked.

At work

Business, property, agriculture, finance and the arts.

A day pillar is one of four. Two people born on a Eul-Mi 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.
