About this pillar
己未 is earth doubled, yin earth over 未, the Goat, with 己 repeated as the first hidden stem. The rest are 丁, Indirect Resource, and 乙, Seven Killings, the second being simply yin wood that restrains yin earth at the same polarity. 三命通會 seats 甲 in place of 乙, and for 己 that yang wood would be a Direct Officer instead.
The line as we have it begins 已未火, a slip of 已 for 己. Its image follows the sun of the entry before: 日光, sunlight, and then 忌夜,亦畏四者, it avoids night and also fears the four, which are the pillars named under 戊午. The 納音 Fire in the Sky is carried over from that same entry.
Crown and Belt is this site's stage, and it depends twice over on disputed rules: 己 follows fire, and it counts in reverse from 酉. A reader who works from a water-earth table will land on another stage.
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.
