wu-wu day pillar

The sun itself is the image for 戊午. 三命通會 卷一 writes 日轮, the sun's disk, and adds 夏则人畏，冬则人爱: in summer people fear it, in winter people love it. It also names four pillars this sun avoids, 戊子, 己丑, 甲寅 and 乙卯, a list the following entry relies on. The 納音 agrees, Fire in the Sky.

Here the branch feeds the stem, fire giving rise to earth. Inside 午 this site's table has 丁, Direct Resource to 戊, and 己, Rob Wealth, and the entry's tag 羊刃 lines up with that second one under the usage of 神峰通考.

The Emperor position at 午 is a product of the fire-earth line. Run earth with water and 午 becomes a Conception stage, while 五行大義 gives 臨官, Officer, to earth at 午, so three ways of counting produce three different stages for this one pair.
