wu-chen day pillar

戊 on 辰 doubles the element: yang earth above an earth branch, with 戊 listed again among the stems inside 辰. Read from the day stem, that inner 戊 is a Friend, 乙 is Direct Officer and 癸 is Direct Wealth. 三命通會 prefers 壬 to 癸 in this branch and calls 辰 the store of 壬 water, which would turn the third reading into Indirect Wealth.

The life stage depends on whose earth you follow. This site lets 戊 travel with fire, as 三命通會 卷二 and 淵海子平 do, and that gives Crown and Belt, the stage likened to a person putting on cap and robe. One list in 神峰通考 runs earth with water and says 水土库居辰, so for that line 辰 is the storehouse or Tomb, while 五行大義 has earth bathing at 辰 in its main statement.

The 納音 大林木, Wood of the Great Forest, sounds grander than the book's description. 三命通會 卷一 writes 山林山野处不材之木, timber of no use from the mountain forests and wild places, and adds 喜水, pleased by water. The phrase belongs to the image of the pair and passes no comment on anyone whose chart holds it.
