Pig · Water · 10th lunar month · 21:30–23:30

Strengths
- Wide in temperament, generous
- Carries study and research a long way
- Starts again from the end
Shadows
- Trusts easily and pays for it
- Delays and misses the timing

BaZi terms used here
- Hidden Stems (地藏干)Heavenly Stems concealed inside a branch
- Each of the twelve branches is one character on the surface but holds two or three stems inside: the residual energy first, then the middle energy, then the main energy that represents the branch. Structures are taken from the main energy of the month branch.
- Birth, Peak and Storehouse branches (生旺庫)Where energy is born, peaks, and is stored
- The three branches of a frame each play a role: born at Yin, Shen, Si, Hai; at peak at Zi, Wu, Mao, You; stored at Chen, Xu, Chou, Wei. The storehouse is also called the tomb-vault.
- Travelling Horse (驛馬)The star of movement and change
- It attaches to the birth branches Yin, Shen, Si and Hai. Staying in one place is hard, and the energy comes alive in travel, relocation and postings. It is read as a mobile engine rather than instability.
