The picture
Eul-Yu is a flower on metal. The Rooster holds a single stem, the one that cuts Yin Wood, and nothing to soften it. This pillar is refined, exact and tougher than it looks, because it has had to be. It is quick with words and can cut as well as be cut. Eul-Yu does best with a source of support elsewhere in the chart or in life.
What the pillar is made of
| Part | In Eul-Yu |
|---|---|
| Day Master | 乙 Eul, Yin Wood |
| Day branch | 酉 Yu, the Rooster |
| Hidden stems | 辛 Sin: Seven Killings |
| Life stage | Extinction 絕 |
| Void branches | 午 O (Horse), 未 Mi (Goat) |
| Stars it carries | Seven Killings |
The Day Master sits on the element that controls it, in the same polarity. Pressure is built into the seat: this pillar is used to being tested and often has a strong-willed partner. Readers look for something in the chart that handles the pressure, an Eating God or a Resource.
These are the facts every Eul-Yu chart shares, whatever the other three pillars hold. They are taken from the same engine that calculates your chart.
