性格Ren Xu personality
Ren Xu is a large body of water contained by dry earth: ambitious, dynamic and intense. These people have strong drive and a taste for challenge, sometimes with a dramatic streak. They work best with a goal big enough to absorb their energy. Patience with slow progress is their lesson.
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: Capping
Measured on the 12-phase cycle, 壬 on 戌 is at Capping: coming of age: confident, eager to prove yourself.
纳音Nayin: Water of the Great Sea
Each pair of pillars shares one of 30 Nayin, or "sound" elements. Ren Xu belongs to Water of the Great Sea, pictured as the great sea: vast, deep and hard to contain. 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 Ren Xu it holds the Dog, which traditionally harmonises with the Rabbit (six harmony) and the Tiger and Horse (three harmony), and clashes with the Dragon.
The most harmonious day pillar for Ren Xu is Ding Mao (丁卯): its stem combines with yours and its branch forms a six-harmony pair (天合地合). The most challenging are Bing Chen (丙辰) and Wu Chen (戊辰): 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
Ren Xu belongs to the Jia Yin (甲寅) decade (旬), whose void branches are Zi and Chou (子丑: Rat, Ox). Traditionally, years and months of these branches are said to make plans feel less solid. The next such years: 2032, 2033, 2044, 2045.
