性格Wu Xu personality
Wu Xu is earth sitting on earth, a massive, solid mountain and another classic "Kui Gang" pillar. These people are strong, loyal and independent, steady under pressure and hard to move once decided. They make dependable leaders. Flexibility and asking for help are their growth points.
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, 戊 on 戌 is at Tomb: the storehouse: saving, careful, good at keeping and accumulating.
纳音Nayin: Wood of the Plain
Each pair of pillars shares one of 30 Nayin, or "sound" elements. Wu Xu 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 Wu 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 Wu Xu is Gui Mao (癸卯): its stem combines with yours and its branch forms a six-harmony pair (天合地合). The most challenging are Jia Chen (甲辰) and Ren Chen (壬辰): 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
Wu Xu 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.
