Yang Wood (甲) Day Master — The Great Tree
Yang Wood is one of the ten Day Masters of Korean Saju. Its symbol: The Great Tree.
You grow straight up, no matter what. People feel safe in your shade — you're the friend who keeps promises and the one others quietly follow. Your challenge: bending when the wind changes.
In nature
Yang Wood grows upward and outward. In nature it is the trunk, not the leaf — slow, straight and hard to bend.
Strengths
- Keeps promises
- Natural protector and leader
- Patient, long-term builder
Watch out for
- Stubborn in arguments
- Proud — hates asking for help
- Can carry too much alone
Your Day Master is the stem of your day pillar — the 'you' in your chart. It is not your year animal: to find it you need the full date.
