己
Ji Earth (己) — Yin Earth Day Master
Yin Earth · the cultivated field
A field that grows whatever is planted in it
What this energy is
Ji is soft, moist earth — the growing kind. It lowers itself and raises other things instead. The work that keeps everything running usually happens here, unnoticed.
Strengths
- Takes people in and grows them
- Hands-on practical sense
- Does the unglamorous work without complaint
Shadows
- Loses itself while looking after others
- Cannot refuse, and pays for it
- Worries about things that have not happened
We do not only say the pleasant things. Knowing the weak side first is what makes it manageable.
Evidence · why we read it this way
Evidence — Ji is Yin Earth, 田園之土 (the earth of field and garden). Where Wu blocks, Ji grows; because it is the soil things are planted in, it is read alongside the Wealth and Output stars.
