Tall wood on a windswept hill, exposed but well rooted.

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 Jia Xu day has Jia wood as their Day Master, sitting on the 戌 (earth) branch.

Personality

Jia wood grows upward; the Dog gives loyalty, principle and a guarded heart. You take commitments seriously and would rather stand alone than compromise a value.

Work and vocation

Roles with a clear code: law, education, non-profit, security, craftsmanship, long-term stewardship.

Relationships

Deeply loyal and slow to trust. Once committed you stay — sometimes past the point of honesty.

Health and rhythm

A dry constitution. Hydration, stretching, and attention to neck and shoulders.

Upcoming 甲戌 days

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