Flexible wood in dry, nourishing soil, patient and practical.
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 Yi Wei day has Yi wood as their Day Master, sitting on the 未 (earth) branch.
Personality
Yi wood adapts; the Goat underneath adds resourcefulness and a taste for comfort. You are practical, creative and quietly resilient, and you can make a great deal out of very little. You prefer a life that works to one that impresses.
Work and vocation
Design, food, craft, community work, or small business — settings where resourcefulness and small-scale care compound.
Relationships
Accommodating and warm, and prone to abandoning your own plans to keep the peace. The peace rarely lasts as long as the resentment.
Health and rhythm
Digestion and fluctuating energy. Your energy follows interest, so structure matters more than willpower.
Upcoming 乙未 days
The sexagenary day cycle repeats every sixty days. These are the next dates that fall on Yi Wei.
