Jeong-Yu (丁酉) day pillar — meaning in Korean Saju
A candle flame in a clear autumn sunset.
Jeong-Yu (丁酉) is the day pillar of Yin Fire — The Candle — sitting on the Rooster. Element mix: Fire (丁) + Metal (酉).
Your core: Yin Fire · The Candle
You don't light up a stadium — you light up a person. Deep, perceptive and loyal, you see what others miss. Your challenge: your mind keeps burning long after the night is over.
