Gi-Hae day pillar

Yin Earth over the Pig기해일주 · BaZi: Ji Hai

A field beside the sea. A gentle, adaptable and practical nature that gets on with people and wavers under pressure.

The picture

Gi-Hae is soft earth at the water’s edge. Yin Earth controls the Pig’s Water, and the wood hidden beside it combines with the Day Master, so wealth and position are both in the seat. Gi-Hae is kind, sociable and sensible about money. Earth on water does not stand firm, and this pillar can be carried along by stronger people.

The Day Master sits on the element it controls, in the opposite polarity. Practicality is at the core, and money and home are closely linked. In a male chart tradition reads the wife star sitting in the spouse palace as a favourable sign for marriage.

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

Strengths

  • Adaptability to people and places.
  • Kindness that makes friends easily.
  • A practical sense for money.

What to watch

  • Indecision when pulled two ways.
  • Being swept along by stronger wills.
  • Worry about things not yet happened.

In relationships

Affectionate and partner-minded, Gi-Hae is happiest in a pair and needs a partner who steadies it.

At work

Trade, service, education, finance and work connected with water or other countries.

A day pillar is one of four. Two people born on a Gi-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 Gi-Hae day pillar mean?
Gi-Hae (己亥) is Yin Earth over the Pig: a gentle, adaptable and practical nature that gets on with people and wavers under pressure.
How do I know if Gi-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 己亥, this is your pillar.
What is 己亥 called in Chinese BaZi?
Ji Hai. It is the same pillar. Korean Saju reads the characters as Gi-Hae and calls it Gihae ilju (기해일주); BaZi sources write Ji Hai in pinyin.
Which life stage and void branches go with Gi-Hae?
On its own seat the Day Master is at the Conception stage (胎). New life forming: potential, plans, things not yet visible. 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.
