性格Ji Chou personality
Ji Chou is cold, wet earth storing seeds for spring. These people are patient, hard-working and reserved, often stubborn in a quiet way. They keep their plans and feelings close and prefer proven methods. Their persistence usually pays off, especially in the second half of life.
坐星Sitting on Companion (Friend)
You sit on your own element: self-reliant, sure of your own path, happiest with equals rather than bosses. The flip side is reluctance to compromise.
长生Life stage: Tomb
Measured on the 12-phase cycle, 己 on 丑 is at Tomb: the storehouse: saving, careful, good at keeping and accumulating.
纳音Nayin: Thunderbolt Fire
Each pair of pillars shares one of 30 Nayin, or "sound" elements. Ji Chou belongs to Thunderbolt Fire, pictured as a thunderbolt: sudden power and quick breakthroughs. 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 Ji Chou it holds the Ox, which traditionally harmonises with the Rat (six harmony) and the Snake and Rooster (three harmony), and clashes with the Goat.
The most harmonious day pillar for Ji Chou is Jia Zi (甲子): its stem combines with yours and its branch forms a six-harmony pair (天合地合). The most challenging are Yi Wei (乙未) and Gui Wei (癸未): 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
Ji Chou belongs to the Jia Shen (甲申) decade (旬), whose void branches are Wu and Wei (午未: Horse, Goat). Traditionally, years and months of these branches are said to make plans feel less solid. The next such years: 2026, 2027, 2038, 2039.
