About this pillar

乙卯 is yin wood seated on yin wood, and in this site's table 卯 holds nothing besides 乙, so stem and seat are the same thing twice. The Friend is the only name to read off this branch. 三命通會 does give 甲 seven days of 卯, and against 乙 that stem would be Rob Wealth.

After the rain of 甲寅, the next line of 三命通會 卷一 shrinks the water further: 露也, dew. It likes water and fire, according to that line, and it keeps the 納音 Water of the Great Stream, an odd name for something so slight.

The stage is Officer, 臨官. 乙 counts in reverse from 午 through 巳 and 辰, and 卯 is the fourth place in that count.

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.
