What it is
Ji lies low and moist, and it holds and stores. The verse says it does not fear strong wood or wild water.
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
己 Ji combines with 甲 Jia, turning to Earth. It has no clash among the stems.
