Measured on the 12-phase cycle, 己 on 亥 is at Conception: an embryo of new life: curious, idealistic, full of potential.
纳音Nayin: Wood of the Plain
Each pair of pillars shares one of 30 Nayin, or "sound" elements. Ji Hai belongs to Wood of the Plain, pictured as wood on the open plain: easygoing growth with room to spread. 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 Hai it holds the Pig, which traditionally harmonises with the Tiger (six harmony) and the Rabbit and Goat (three harmony), and clashes with the Snake.
The most harmonious day pillar for Ji Hai is Jia Yin (甲寅): its stem combines with yours and its branch forms a six-harmony pair (天合地合). The most challenging are Yi Si (乙巳) and Gui Si (癸巳): 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 Hai belongs to the Jia Wu (甲午) decade (旬), whose void branches are Chen and Si (辰巳: Dragon, Snake). Traditionally, years and months of these branches are said to make plans feel less solid. The next such years: 2036, 2037, 2048, 2049.
日期When does Ji Hai come round?
As a day: the 60-day cycle repeats every 60 days. Next Ji Hai days: Nov 21, 2026 · Jan 20, 2027 · Mar 21, 2027 · May 20, 2027. As a year pillar: 1959, 2019.
