The picture
Gye-Yu is the cleanest water there is, a spring from stone. The Rooster’s Metal produces Yin Water with nothing else mixed in. This pillar is clear-sighted, exact and quietly proud. It notices what is out of place and prefers things clean, in surroundings and in conduct. The purity has a cool side: it can withdraw rather than deal with what is messy.
What the pillar is made of
| Part | In Gye-Yu |
|---|---|
| Day Master | 癸 Gye, Yin Water |
| Day branch | 酉 Yu, the Rooster |
| Hidden stems | 辛 Sin: Indirect Resource |
| Life stage | Sickness 病 |
| Void branches | 戌 Sul (Dog), 亥 Hae (Pig) |
| Stars it carries | None of its own |
The Day Master sits on the element that produces it, in the same polarity. Support is there and comes in its own way: a private inner life, unusual interests, and a partner who is more mentor than companion.
These are the facts every Gye-Yu chart shares, whatever the other three pillars hold. They are taken from the same engine that calculates your chart.

In relationships
