One of the Six Instruments. The Heavenly Stem Wu (戊) belongs to Yang Earth. The head of the Jia Zi (甲子) cycle is hidden under Wu (戊), symbolizing mountains and dikes. It is the star of capital and wealth, representing funds, property, and credit. For financial matters, Wu (戊) is used as the primary deity.
Wu Yi (戊仪) is one of the Six Instruments in Qimen Dunjia. The Heavenly Stem Wu (戊) belongs to Yang Earth, solid and substantial like mountains and dikes. In Qimen, Jia (甲) is noble but hidden; the head of the Jia Zi (甲子) cycle is concealed under Wu (戊), hence Wu (戊) often carries the nobility of the Chief (值符). Wu (戊) in the chart represents the star of capital, symbolizing funds, money, real estate, land, collateral, and credit. When divining about wealth, loans, or investments, the state of Wu's (戊) palace on the Heavenly Plate is the core primary deity. Wu Earth (戊土) is strong during the Earth months of the four seasons; if it receives generation from Fire, wealth will be abundant. If it falls into the Wood palaces of Zhen (震) or Xun (巽) and is restrained, it indicates financial restrictions and stagnant funds. Wu (戊) combining with various stems on the Earth Plate forms many patterns: Wu (戊) with Bing (丙) forms 'Green Dragon Turns Head' (青龙返首); Bing (丙) with Wu (戊) forms 'Flying Bird Falls into Cave' (飞鸟跌穴), both are highly auspicious Qimen patterns, beneficial for all undertakings and wealth. Wu (戊) with Ji (己) forms 'Noble Enters Prison' (贵人入狱); with Geng (庚) forms 'Chief Flies Palace' (值符飞宫); with Ren (壬) forms 'Green Dragon Enters Heavenly Prison' (青龙入天牢), all of which are detrimental to financial matters. Two Wu (戊) in the same palace signifies 'Fuyin' (伏吟), indicating stagnation in all matters and immobile funds. When analyzing wealth, one must also consider the Life Gate (生门): if the Life Gate (生门) and Wu (戊) generate or are in harmony with each other, financial paths are smooth; if they restrain or punish each other, wealth comes and goes. Important notes: If Wu (戊) encounters Emptiness (空亡), account figures are illusory, and promised funds are difficult to materialize. If Wu (戊) is clashed or restrained in a certain direction, it is not advisable to acquire property or save money there; to protect wealth, first protect the palace.
Wu (戊) is the star of capital and credit. In a career context, it indicates suitability for handling budgets, finance, and asset-related matters. Those who are trustworthy will steadily progress. If Wu (戊) falls into a prosperous palace, the platform and foundation are solid, allowing for stable development. If Wu (戊) is clashed or restrained, the employer's funds are tight; clarify the financial situation before changing jobs.
For financial matters, Wu (戊) is the primary deity. If Wu (戊) falls into a prosperous and strong palace and is generated by the Life Gate (生门), funds are abundant, and sources of income are plentiful. If it combines with Bing (丙) to form 'Green Dragon Turns Head' (青龙返首), one can pursue significant wealth. If Wu (戊) enters a tomb or encounters emptiness, funds are tied up or promises fall through; investments and loans should be avoided at this time.
If Wu (戊) enters the relationship palace, money plays a significant role in the relationship; discussions about marriage will involve property and dowry. If Wu (戊) is strong, the family foundation is solid, leading to stable discussions. If Wu (戊) is restrained, financial disagreements become the main conflict; addressing financial agreements before marriage can lead to a longer-lasting relationship.
Wu (戊) belongs to Yang Earth, corresponding to the spleen, stomach, muscles, and skin. When seen in illness divination, it warns against spleen and stomach stagnation, indigestion, lumps, and nodules. If Wu (戊) is excessively strong, it indicates earth blockage; a light and moderate diet is advisable. If Wu (戊) is weak and restrained, it indicates spleen and stomach weakness; tonics should be taken after improving digestive function.
Wu (戊) represents land and stability. When seen in travel, it indicates a smooth journey with few disturbances, suitable for business inspections, house viewing, or land acquisition. If Wu (戊) is clashed or restrained, beware of exceeding travel expenses or disputes over hotel deposits. When driving in mountainous areas, watch out for landslides and falling rocks; do not linger in dangerous places.
Wu (戊) represents money and credit. Lawsuits often arise from loans, contract payments, or real estate. If Wu (戊) is strong and receives auspicious gates, accounts are clear, and victory is likely. If Wu (戊) encounters emptiness, the opponent's repayment ability is questionable; even if the lawsuit is won, enforcement may be difficult, so investigate asset leads in advance.
