About this pillar

Earth checks the water above it in 壬戌, and 戌, the Dog, also carries the stem that does the checking. 戊 is Seven Killings to 壬, a name whose scope 三命通會 and 淵海子平 draw in different places. 辛 is Direct Resource and 丁 is Direct Wealth, though 三命通會 has 丙 for 丁, an Indirect Wealth for this day master.

海也, the sea, is all the image that 三命通會 卷一 needs, and the 納音 Water of the Great Sea says the same thing. Spring, summer and wood are what it is said to like.

Two branches past its Growth at 申, 壬 stands on 戌 at Crown and Belt, 冠帶. Here the stem is at the coming-of-age point of the wheel while the branch below it is the one restraining it, and neither fact cancels the other.

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.

The English here is our own plain wording, not a translation of a single source.
