性格Gui Wei personality
Gui Wei is light rain falling on dry, hot earth. These people are patient and resilient, often carrying more pressure than others see. They have strong inner will and a gift for enduring difficult stretches. Their reward tends to come later in life, after the field has been watered.
坐星Sitting on Seven Killings
You sit on the star of pressure and power: driven, brave and decisive, often at your best under challenge. Stress is part of the package.
长生Life stage: Tomb
Measured on the 12-phase cycle, 癸 on 未 is at Tomb: the storehouse: saving, careful, good at keeping and accumulating.
纳音Nayin: Willow Wood
Each pair of pillars shares one of 30 Nayin, or "sound" elements. Gui Wei belongs to Willow Wood, pictured as the willow: flexible, graceful, bends without breaking. Nayin is an older layer of Chinese astrology and is read as a background image, not as your Day Master's element.

In BaZi the day branch is the spouse palace. For Gui Wei it holds the Goat, which traditionally harmonises with the Horse (six harmony) and the Pig and Rabbit (three harmony), and clashes with the Ox.
The most harmonious day pillar for Gui Wei is Wu Wu (戊午): its stem combines with yours and its branch forms a six-harmony pair (天合地合). The most challenging are Ding Chou (丁丑) and Ji Chou (己丑): stem against stem and branch against branch (天克地冲). Other pillars in your chart matter more than this single pairing.
空亡Void branches
Gui Wei belongs to the Jia Xu (甲戌) decade (旬), whose void branches are Shen and You (申酉: Monkey, Rooster). Traditionally, years and months of these branches are said to make plans feel less solid. The next such years: 2028, 2029, 2040, 2041.
