The picture
Jeong-Chuk is a small fire in a cold place. The flame gives itself to the Ox’s Earth, so this pillar is productive, patient and good at making things. It saves: money, skills, feelings. The Ox is a storehouse and much of Jeong-Chuk is kept inside it. Because so much is held back, what finally comes out can be forceful.
What the pillar is made of
| Part | In Jeong-Chuk |
|---|---|
| Day Master | 丁 Jeong, Yin Fire |
| Day branch | 丑 Chuk, the Ox |
| Hidden stems | 癸 Gye: Seven Killings辛 Sin: Indirect Wealth己 Gi: Eating God (main) |
| Life stage | Grave 墓 |
| Void branches | 申 Sin (Monkey), 酉 Yu (Rooster) |
| Stars it carries | Canopy Star, White Tiger, Tanghwa |
The Day Master sits on the element it produces, in the same polarity. Talent and ease are close at hand, and home life is read as comfortable and productive.
These are the facts every Jeong-Chuk chart shares, whatever the other three pillars hold. They are taken from the same engine that calculates your chart.
