Yellow Rabbit · A spring field raising new sprouts
Yin Earth — soft garden soil. You are seated on the wood energy that controls you — you live with tension and responsibility beneath you.
Energy folding inward. Sensitivity and empathy deepen here — the mind runs busier than the body.
An officer with a sword sits in the inner room. You carry responsibility heavily and temper yourself with it — tension comes easily, so unwinding is the medicine.
The stems concealed inside 卯 (Rabbit). A branch is not one single energy — it holds this mixture, in these proportions across a 30-day month.
A spring field raising new sprouts — this pillar shines in the seat where it grows and looks after people. It empties easily into others, so dividing what to give from what to keep is the necessary practice.
Is Ji Mao actually your day pillar?
The day pillar shifts on solar-term and zi-hour boundaries, so it is not countable by eye. Enter your birth date and the engine computes it in under a minute — free, no account.
Find my day pillar — freeYour day pillar is the stem-branch pair governing the day you were born — Ji Mao (己卯) in this case. It rotates every day through a cycle of sixty, and the boundaries depend on solar terms and the 11pm zi-hour rule, so it is not something you can count by eye. Enter your birth date in our free reading and the engine computes it directly.
Yellow Rabbit — the image traditionally attached to it is "A spring field raising new sprouts". Your Day Master 己 (Yin Earth — soft garden soil) sits on 卯, the Rabbit, which carries Wood. In the twelve-stage cycle that position reads as Ailing, and the seated Ten God is Authority.
No. The day pillar is two characters out of eight — your core axis, not the whole picture. The year, month and hour pillars, the balance of the five elements, and your decade luck all have to be laid on top before a reading means much. Treat a day-pillar page as the doorway, not the room.
Same sixty-cycle, different reading of the same characters. 己卯 is romanised Ji Mao from Mandarin and gimyo from Korean, and Korean saju calls the day pillar ilju (일주). The calculation is identical; the interpretive traditions differ.
The twelve-stage position, seated Ten God and hidden stems are computed by the Ioreum deterministic engine (ruleset ioreum-2026.07). The reading itself is interpretation from the day-pillar tradition, not verified science — we always tell you which part is calculation and which part is tradition.
