Friend比肩
Same element and polarity as you. Tradition links it with peers, independence and self-reliance.
- For a 甲 day
- 甲
見甲：為比肩、兄弟。
Meeting 甲: this is the Friend, a brother.
Yuan Hai Zi Ping
比肩為兄弟姐妹也。
The Friend stands for brothers and sisters.
Yuan Hai Zi Ping
In plain words
Another stem just like you: same element, same polarity. Yuan Hai Zi Ping reads it as brothers, sisters and friends.
The book gives it no chapter of its own. It mostly appears as someone who stands beside you and shares what you have, so it helps a weak Day Master and divides the wealth of a strong one.
What it is
With 甲 (Jia) as the day stem, this is 甲.
Named against your own day stem.
