About this pillar
Where the previous pair was the blossom, 三命通會 卷一 now gives 榴子, the seeds of the pomegranate. It likes autumn and summer, and it stays under the 納音 Pomegranate Wood.
Yin metal over 酉, the Rooster, is the same element and polarity top and bottom. This site's table holds just 辛 in this branch, so the only name it yields is the Friend. 三命通會 sets 庚 in 酉 for the first seven days, and to a 辛 day master that yang metal is Rob Wealth.
Three backward steps from Growth at 子 bring 辛 to 酉, the stage of Officer, 臨官. 甲寅, 乙卯, 庚申 and 辛酉 all sit at this stage on matching branches, a small family inside the sixty.
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.
