Eul-Sa day pillar

Yin Wood over the Snake을사일주 · BaZi: Yi Si

A flower in full summer sun. A brilliant, charming and expressive nature with talent that shows.

The picture

Eul-Sa is a flower in strong light. Yin Wood produces the Snake’s Fire, so this pillar opens itself fully: lively, quick and good to look at. The metal hidden in the Snake combines with the Day Master, which adds a pull toward recognition. Eul-Sa uses energy fast. Tradition also notes an independent streak in marriage.

The Day Master sits on the element it produces, in the opposite polarity. Expression and independence sit in the most personal place of the chart: lively and outspoken at home. In a female chart tradition reads this as a need for a partner who accepts a strong voice.

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

Strengths

  • Charm that works at first sight.
  • Talent that shows without effort.
  • Quickness of mind and tongue.

What to watch

  • Restlessness once the novelty fades.
  • Burnout from living in full sun.
  • Interests that change with the season.

In relationships

Attractive and independent, Eul-Sa needs a partner who gives it room and does not compete for the light.

At work

Performance, beauty, design, sales and media.

A day pillar is one of four. Two people born on a Eul-Sa 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-Sa day pillar mean?
Eul-Sa (乙巳) is Yin Wood over the Snake: a brilliant, charming and expressive nature with talent that shows.
How do I know if Eul-Sa 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 乙巳, this is your pillar.
What is 乙巳 called in Chinese BaZi?
Yi Si. It is the same pillar. Korean Saju reads the characters as Eul-Sa and calls it Eulsa ilju (을사일주); BaZi sources write Yi Si in pinyin.
Which life stage and void branches go with Eul-Sa?
On its own seat the Day Master is at the Bath stage (沐浴). The infant is washed: exposure, charm, instability. Associated with attraction and with youthful mistakes. The void branches for this pillar are 寅 In (Tiger) and 卯 Myo (Rabbit). The strength of the whole chart depends mostly on the birth month, not on this stage alone.
