Gi-Yu (己酉) day pillar — meaning in Korean Saju
A garden bed in a clear autumn sunset.
Gi-Yu (己酉) is the day pillar of Yin Earth — The Garden — sitting on the Rooster. Element mix: Earth (己) + Metal (酉).
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 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.
How they mix
Your stem feeds the branch beneath it: energy flows out of you as talent, words and creativity. You express yourself easily, but you can give away more energy than you keep.
★ Peach Blossom (桃花) branch: charm, popularity and attraction. Great for anyone who works with people, art or social media.
