Gi-Hae (己亥) day pillar — meaning in Korean Saju
A garden bed beside a deep winter lake.
Gi-Hae (己亥) is the day pillar of Yin Earth — The Garden — sitting on the Pig. Element mix: Earth (己) + Water (亥).
Your core: Yin Earth · The Garden
Things grow around you — people, plans, projects. You're practical, caring and remember every detail. Your challenge: you feed everyone and worry you're not doing enough.
What you sit on: the Pig
Pig (亥) under you is wide water: generous, open-hearted and imaginative. Pig is a 'traveling horse' branch — you are happiest with freedom and a partner who gives you room.
How they mix
Your stem controls the branch beneath it: you like to manage, earn and make things happen. Money and practical results matter to you, and you can be demanding with yourself and your partner.
★ Traveling Horse (驛馬) branch: movement, travel and change. You do well abroad, on the road or with a job that moves.
- Sound element (納音)
