甲乙丙丁戊己庚辛壬癸
Gold line combines, red line clashes

癸水至弱,達於天津。得龍而運,功化斯神。不愁火土,不論庚辛。合戊見火,化象斯真。

What it is

Gui is the weakest water, yet the verse says it reaches as far as the ford of heaven. With the loong, 辰, it moves and transforms.

In a chart

If this is the stem of your day pillar, it is your Day Master, and the rest of the chart is read against it.

Relations

癸 Gui combines with 戊 Wu, turning to Fire. It clashes with 丁 Ding.
