About this pillar
A single stem fills 卯, the Rabbit branch, in this site's table: 乙, yin wood, which water produces. For 癸 that makes it the Eating God, an output of the day master at the same polarity. 淵海子平 agrees with the one-stem reading, 三命通會 gives 甲 seven days before twenty-three of 乙, and the verse in 神峰通考 skips 卯 altogether.
Growth, 長生, is the stage here, and 癸 takes it at 卯 because 壬 reaches Death on that same branch. Under the rule that yin begins where its yang partner ends, water feeding wood and the opening of the twelve stages coincide in this pair.
For an image 三命通會 卷一 offers small hardware: 环钮钤铎, rings, knobs and bells. These metal goods are how the entry matches the 納音 Gold Leaf Metal that 壬寅 also holds, and it says they like blazing fire and autumn.
Where this text comes from
The 納音 name and the note on this pair follow 三命通會 volume 1. The life stage follows 三命通會 volume 2. The hidden stems follow the arrangement in 淵海子平 and 神峰通考, and other tables differ. All texts are the Wikisource versions.
