Jeong-Hae day pillar

Yin Fire over the Pig정해일주 · BaZi: Ding Hai

A lamp shining over dark water. A gentle, graceful nature with insight and a gift for finding help.

The picture

Jeong-Hae is a light on the night sea. The Pig’s Water controls Yin Fire, but its main stem combines with the Day Master, and the wood hidden beside it feeds the flame. Authority becomes support. This is one of the four pillars that carry their own Nobleman, and Jeong-Hae people tend to be helped along. They are intuitive, courteous and soft-spoken.

The Day Master sits on the element that controls it, in the opposite polarity. Discipline and a sense of duty are built in. In a female chart tradition reads the husband star sitting in the spouse palace as a favourable sign for marriage.

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

Strengths

  • Grace that puts people at ease.
  • A knack for finding the right helper.
  • Insight into what others feel.

What to watch

  • Wavering when a firm answer is needed.
  • Dependence on other people’s favour.
  • Sentimentality that clouds judgment.

In relationships

Tradition calls this pillar fortunate in marriage. Jeong-Hae attaches deeply and tends to find partners who look after it.

At work

Education, medicine, the arts, public service and counselling.

A day pillar is one of four. Two people born on a Jeong-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 Jeong-Hae day pillar mean?
Jeong-Hae (丁亥) is Yin Fire over the Pig: a gentle, graceful nature with insight and a gift for finding help.
How do I know if Jeong-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 丁亥, this is your pillar.
What is 丁亥 called in Chinese BaZi?
Ding Hai. It is the same pillar. Korean Saju reads the characters as Jeong-Hae and calls it Jeonghae ilju (정해일주); BaZi sources write Ding Hai in pinyin.
Which life stage and void branches go with Jeong-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 午 O (Horse) and 未 Mi (Goat). The strength of the whole chart depends mostly on the birth month, not on this stage alone.
