Ren Zi Day Pillar

Water on water: unmeasurable depth, endlessly adaptable, and prone to having no edges at all.

Mulberry feeds silkworms — the tree draws no attention, and nothing else does its job.

In the sixty-pillar cycle each image is shared by exactly two pillars. 壬子 shares Mulberry Wood with 癸丑, though the two differ in polarity, animal and hidden stems.

Rén carries the image of a river, the open sea. That is this pillar's baseline; the branch it is paired with decides the rest.

Zǐ is Water, yang in polarity, and carries the Rat.

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

stem and branch share an element (Peer)

Stem and branch pull the same way, which concentrates the pillar's force. Strong-minded and hard to shift — including when shifting would help.

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.
