己酉

Ji You (己酉) — Yin Earth on the Rooster

A tidy field at harvest time.

Heavenly stem: 己 · Ji · Yin Earth
Earthly branch: 酉 · You · Rooster
Na Yin: Earth of the Great Post Road
Hidden stems: Xin
Hidden gods: Eating God
Branch element: Metal

Cultivated earth, ordered and exact, ready to be judged.

In BaZi, the day pillar is the pillar of the self. Its heavenly stem is your Day Master — the reference point for every other character in the chart. A person born on a Ji You day has Ji earth as their Day Master, sitting on the 酉 (metal) branch.

Personality

Ji earth nurtures; the Rooster underneath adds precision. You are organised, fair-minded and quietly exacting, and you notice the one thing out of place in an otherwise orderly scene. You would rather fix a system than complain about it.

Work and vocation

Accounting, editing, design, quality control, or medicine — roles that reward discrimination and steady, unglamorous consistency.

Relationships

Considerate and measured, and perfectionism can read as distance. Say the appreciation you are already thinking.

Health and rhythm

Lungs, skin and digestion. Standards turned inward show up as tension; leave one thing imperfect on purpose now and then.

Upcoming 己酉 days

The sexagenary day cycle repeats every sixty days. These are the next dates that fall on Ji You.
