Gi-Mi day pillar

Yin Earth over the Goat기미일주 · BaZi: Ji Wei

A dry field in midsummer. A self-reliant, persevering and private nature with quiet pride.

The picture

Gi-Mi is Earth on Earth in the hot season. The Goat holds a little fire and wood, enough to keep the field warm and worked. This pillar is hard-working, independent and reserved. It does things its own way and does not complain. It can close itself off. It is a twin pillar, stem and branch the same element, and the Canopy Star sits in its own seat, so Gi-Mi keeps an inner life that it shares with very few.

The Day Master sits on its own element, in the same polarity. The seat is a root: a strong sense of self and a home life run on its own terms. The partner is read as an equal, sometimes as a rival.

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

Strengths

  • Perseverance in heat and drought.
  • Independence in how it works.
  • Practicality without fuss.

What to watch

  • Stubbornness about its own way.

Agriculture, property, education, religion, craft and administration.

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

Questions people ask

What does the Gi-Mi day pillar mean?
Gi-Mi (己未) is Yin Earth over the Goat: a self-reliant, persevering and private nature with quiet pride.
How do I know if Gi-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 己未, this is your pillar.
What is 己未 called in Chinese BaZi?
Ji Wei. It is the same pillar. Korean Saju reads the characters as Gi-Mi and calls it Gimi ilju (기미일주); BaZi sources write Ji Wei in pinyin.
Which life stage and void branches go with Gi-Mi?
On its own seat the Day Master is at the Youth stage (冠帶). Coming of age, putting on the cap and sash: ambition, dressing up, entering society. The void branches for this pillar are 子 Ja (Rat) and 丑 Chuk (Ox). The strength of the whole chart depends mostly on the birth month, not on this stage alone.
