This article thoroughly explores the characteristics and influences of the day pillar with the heavenly stem as "Ren" in Chinese metaphysics. Through an analysis of concepts such as the "One-Valuable Position in the Hour Pillar" and the "Seven Killing Star Pattern," it reveals the conditions for a noble and prosperous pattern of the Ren day pillar, as well as its differences from other day pillars. It also discusses the effects of the Ren day pillar on health, personality, and career, providing readers with a comprehensive interpretation of Chinese metaphysics.
The One-Valuable Position in the Hour Pillar Pattern
The One-Valuable Position in the Hour Pillar is a special pattern within the Ren day pillar, representing wealth and honor. To form this pattern, three conditions must be met: first, the hour pillar should contain a Seven Killing Star, whether in the heavenly stem or earthly branch; second, the One-Valuable Position needs to be controlled or transformed, which can be achieved by an Ink (Yin) or a Food God (Shi Shen), but not both at the same time; finally, there should be no Seven Killing Star or Official Star in the other four pillars. Although this pattern and the Seven Killing Star pattern both rely on the Seven Killing Star, the One-Valuable Position in the Hour Pillar is not afraid of conflicts or clashes. If it lacks control or is over-controlled, the pattern will be ruined.
Ren Day Pillar and Health
The relationship between the Ren day pillar and health is close. For example, the combination of Gui Chou may lead to health issues because Chou, as a storage place, is extremely special among Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei. It is cold, dark, and a metal storage. Human health requires a balanced temperature, but the Gui Chou combination goes to extremes. A month pillar of Geng Shen, where strong metal enters the storage, has great energy in Chou. If there is no channel for release, the day pillar's main element will inevitably fall ill. Medical texts state that Yang transforms into Qi, while Yin forms shape. Transformation into Qi means becoming intangible and empty, while forming shape leads to stagnation, resulting in various tumors that threaten life.
Ren Day Pillar and Personality/Career
People with a Ren day pillar are independent and decisive, with a strong sense of self-respect, capable of forging their own path. However, they lack flexibility, making them authoritarian. Male individuals with a strong career fortune may find it difficult to win a woman's heart due to excessive focus on their careers, appearing strong on the outside but lonely inside. Female individuals have a strong competitive spirit, enjoying competition in work and being very independent, not relying on men. Female individuals with a "Day Blade" (Ri Dao) have a strong personality, unable to adapt or compromise, and should be cautious about potential marital problems or loneliness in middle age.
Five Elements in Autumn: Favorable and Unfavorable Aspects
The "Jiong Tong Bao Jian" discusses the favorable and unfavorable aspects of the five elements in autumn. In autumn, wood, fire, earth, metal, and water each have unique characteristics. Wood in autumn appears withered, and in early autumn, it favors water and earth for nourishment. In mid-autumn, it benefits from metal to trim it, while after Frost Descent, it is not advisable to have excessive water. Fire in autumn has a calm nature; it becomes bright when supported by wood, but is extinguished when clashed by water. Earth in autumn is weak, while metal is strong. Metal drains the earth's energy, and strong wood controls the earth. Metal in autumn is powerful, and when refined by fire, it becomes valuable material. Earth nourishes it, and water enhances its clarity. Wood gives it strength. Water in autumn is strong, and water and metal are mutually supportive. Metal enhances the clarity of water, while earth makes it murky. Fire is beneficial, and wood thrives.
Hidden Support and the Effect of the Auxiliary Seal Position
If a three-element union is missing the middle character, it indicates a hidden support, and attention should be paid to the strength or weakness of the supporting element. The position of the Auxiliary Seal (Fuxiang) has a significant impact on female individuals. Those with an Auxiliary Seal in the day pillar tend to prefer older males, showing a tendency towards mother or father complexes, especially if the injury official (Shangguan) is prominent. Individuals with an Auxiliary Seal in the day pillar often marry later. If a female's natal chart has a weak official star, overlapping auxiliary seals in other stems, and no money element to control the seal and generate the official star, and if the auxiliary seal is in the day pillar, she may face the risk of harming her husband.
Official Star and Personality/Fate
An official star in the heavenly stem can represent a government official, but if it does not have a root in the earthly branch, promotion is difficult. The personality of an official star is gentle and sincere, and the person is honest. For females, the official star and seven killing star represent the husband. The official star as the husband symbolizes a man who likes sweet words and being cherished. If the seven killing star represents the husband, the man must be capable, and the woman can tolerate any treatment, as long as he earns her respect. The official star and seven killing star each have their own characteristics. A female should ideally have only one, and the worst case is when both are mixed, desiring both a gentle and capable man.
