性格Wu Chen personality
Wu Chen is a great mountain with water stored inside it, the earth of the Dragon. These people are strong-willed, ambitious and self-reliant, with more depth than they show. They like to lead their own projects and dislike being managed. Learning to share credit and control makes them far more effective.
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: Capping
Measured on the 12-phase cycle, 戊 on 辰 is at Capping: coming of age: confident, eager to prove yourself.
纳音Nayin: Wood of the Great Forest
Each pair of pillars shares one of 30 Nayin, or "sound" elements. Wu Chen belongs to Wood of the Great Forest, pictured as a great forest: strength in numbers, slow and broad growth. 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 Wu Chen it holds the Dragon, which traditionally harmonises with the Rooster (six harmony) and the Monkey and Rat (three harmony), and clashes with the Dog.
The most harmonious day pillar for Wu Chen is Gui You (癸酉): its stem combines with yours and its branch forms a six-harmony pair (天合地合). The most challenging are Jia Xu (甲戌) and Ren Xu (壬戌): 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
Wu Chen belongs to the Jia Zi (甲子) decade (旬), whose void branches are Xu and Hai (戌亥: Dog, Pig). Traditionally, years and months of these branches are said to make plans feel less solid. The next such years: 2030, 2031, 2042, 2043.
