Eul-Yu (乙酉) day pillar — meaning in Korean Saju
A climbing vine in a clear autumn sunset.
Eul-Yu (乙酉) is the day pillar of Yin Wood — The Climbing Vine — sitting on the Rooster. Element mix: Wood (乙) + Metal (酉).
Your core: Yin Wood · The Climbing Vine
You find a way around every wall. Charming, flexible and quietly tough, you turn people into allies without trying. Your challenge: you sometimes bend so much you forget what you wanted.
What you sit on: the Rooster
Rooster (酉) under you is pure Metal: precise, stylish and principled. Rooster is a 'peach blossom' branch — people find you elegant, and you notice every detail of them.
