The sixty day pillars

Ji You · 己酉

Output (Gentle)

Gentle output — talent expressed with ease, appetite, and craft rather than confrontation.

Stage of the cycle

Growth — Fresh momentum — the Day Master is being born into strength in this pillar.

The day pillar comes from your exact birth date — and near midnight, from true solar time. Calculate it instead of guessing.

As with everything on Truenoon, this page describes observable tendencies, not a verdict on who you are.
