Gui Mao Day Pillar

Gui MaoGuǐ WaterMǎo — RabbitNayin: Gold Leaf

What Gui Mao is

Dew on new shoots: nourishment in very small amounts, continuously, never once interrupted.

Its image: Gold Leaf

Gold beaten to a leaf — beautiful, and far too thin to hold anything up.

In the sixty-pillar cycle each image is shared by exactly two pillars. 癸卯 shares Gold Leaf with 壬寅, though the two differ in polarity, animal and hidden stems.

The stem: Guǐ Water

Guǐ carries the image of rain, dew, a spring underground. That is this pillar's baseline; the branch it is paired with decides the rest.

The branch: Mǎo, the Rabbit

Mǎo is Wood, yin in polarity, and carries the Rabbit.

Hidden stems: every branch conceals stems of its own, in descending weight — Yǐ Wood (100%).

How stem and branch relate

the stem feeds the branch (Output)

This pillar spends itself outward — expressive, productive, better at making things than talking about them, and easier to drain.

Note: this reads the day pillar alone. A full chart has three more pillars plus the luck cycles, and the balance is only settled by all of them together.
