Gap-O (甲午) day pillar — meaning in Korean Saju
A tall pine at noon on the hottest day of summer.
Gap-O (甲午) is the day pillar of Yang Wood — The Great Tree — sitting on the Horse. Element mix: Wood (甲) + Fire (午).

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.
