The picture
Gye-Mi is rain on parched ground. The Goat’s dry Earth controls Yin Water and soaks it up at once. This pillar is useful, persevering and quietly strong, and it tends to give more than it keeps. The Goat hides a little wood, which is Gye’s own talent and its answer to the pressure. Gye-Mi endures, and it needs to be replenished.
What the pillar is made of
| Part | In Gye-Mi |
|---|---|
| Day Master | 癸 Gye, Yin Water |
| Day branch | 未 Mi, the Goat |
| Hidden stems | 丁 Jeong: Indirect Wealth乙 Eul: Eating God己 Gi: Seven Killings (main) |
| Life stage | Grave 墓 |
| Void branches | 申 Sin (Monkey), 酉 Yu (Rooster) |
| Stars it carries | Canopy Star, 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 Gye-Mi chart shares, whatever the other three pillars hold. They are taken from the same engine that calculates your chart.
