Gyeyu (癸酉) day pillar
A clear spring in autumn rock: calm intuition
What the Gyeyu day pillar is like
Gyeyu is rain and dew (癸) gathered on autumn metal (酉). Metal makes water, so Indirect Resource (편인) sits below. The picture is spring water filtered through rock, and the pillar is read as clear and tidy, someone who thinks things through before speaking.
It likes orderly surroundings and often straightens things without meaning to. Intuition about what people are really thinking is common, though it rarely says all of it. The stage is Sickness (병), which points to a careful, reflective nature rather than ill health.
High standards make it easy to mark yourself down. Writing down what went well is a small habit that keeps this water clear.
The Gyeyu ilju (day pillar), character by character
Number 10 of the sixty-pillar cycle. The table shows what Halmeoni's calendar engine computes for this pillar.
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Top character (day master) | 癸 — rain and dew (yin water) |
| Bottom character (day branch) | 酉 — Rooster · metal · autumn (about September) |
| Yin-yang | yin (both characters) |
| Elements | water above, metal below |
| How the two relate | The bottom character feeds the top one: support from the ground up. |
| Hidden stems (ten gods) | 庚 Direct Resource (정인), 辛 Indirect Resource (편인) |
| Ten god of the day branch | Indirect Resource (편인) — unusual learning, intuition |
| Twelve stages | Sickness (병) — weakening: thoughtful, careful |
| Void branches (공망) | 戌, 亥 — an empty spot: what is hard to hold on to |
Hidden stems are the forces tucked inside the bottom character; the last one listed is the strongest. Ten gods describe each character as seen from the top character, the day master, so the same bottom character gets a different name under a different day master. The void branches are the two that have no partner in this pillar's ten-day week; they only matter when they appear elsewhere in a chart.
The twelve stages here count backwards for yin stems (the 음포태 method). Schools that give yin stems the yang table (양포태) get a different stage for this pillar.
A day pillar is only two of the eight characters in a chart. People who share it can read very differently once the year, month and hour are added, so take this as entertainment, not as a verdict on who you are.
