Gye-Yu (癸酉) day pillar — meaning in Korean Saju
A spring rain in a clear autumn sunset.
Gye-Yu (癸酉) is the day pillar of Yin Water — The Rain — sitting on the Rooster. Element mix: Water (癸) + Metal (酉).
Your core: Yin Water · The Rain
Soft on the outside, powerful underneath. You feel everything, imagine everything, and read people instantly. Your challenge: you hide your own storms so others stay dry.
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
The branch beneath you feeds your stem: you have a natural support system — family, mentors, intuition. You recover well from setbacks, but you can wait for help instead of moving first.
★ Peach Blossom (桃花) branch: charm, popularity and attraction. Great for anyone who works with people, art or social media.
- Sound element (納音)
