Jia-Xu Day Pillar: Jia Wood over Xu Earth, Spouse Palace Indirect Wealth
The day pillar is the closest of the four to you: the stem is you (the Day Master) and the branch is your spouse palace. The Jia-Xu pillar is therefore about the relationship between "Jia Wood the person" and "Xu the partner".

What is the structure of Jia-Xu?
Jia-Xu is the stem Jia over the branch Xu. Jia is Yang Wood and is your Day Master, standing for you; Xu is Earth and sits in the day branch, which is the spouse palace. The relation between the two therefore says two things at once: the grain of the person, and their default position inside an intimate relationship.
Hidden stems and Ten Gods: where the real weight sits
Each branch holds stems that are not written on the face of the chart, yet they decide how much each Ten God actually weighs. Xu holds 戊, 辛, 丁, which to the Day Master Jia Wood are:
The 本氣 carries the most weight, so the spouse palace of Jia-Xu mainly shows the face of Indirect Wealth; the middle and residual stems are undertones that surface when a luck cycle or annual pillar stirs them.
Spouse palace in Xu: partner tendencies and how to get on
The partner：The partner is loyal and dutiful with a strong sense of responsibility, and will hold to what they have committed to. Xu is a Fire vault: steady most of the time, but the temper, when it comes, is hard — that is pressure released at once.
Where to put the effort：Acknowledging what they carry matters, because they carry a lot and say little. Being taken for granted is the surest way to cool them. Also, never make them choose between you and their friends; that question tears them.
Worth saying plainly: the spouse palace describes a tendency, not who a person is bound to meet. It reads more like a map of the routes you take easily inside a relationship — knowing it saves a few wrong turns.
Na Yin: Fire on the Mountain Peak
Fire on the Mountain Peak: a wildfire on the moor, its blaze stretching to the horizon.
A wildfire on the summit, a wall of red seen from afar — striking, yet hung high and far from people. High-minded and outwardly brilliant, it should bring its heat back down to solid ground, so it does not burn bright but empty.
Each Na Yin is shared by two pillars: Jia-Xu shares Fire on the Mountain Peak with Yi-Hai. It is a supporting layer of imagery — useful for overall flavour, but it does not override the main line set by the Day Master and the spouse palace.
Void branches: Shen, You
Jia-Xu belongs to the Jia-Xu decade, which never reaches the branches Shen, You; these are its void branches. Whatever a voided pillar stands for tends to be "present but not solid" — not absent, but hard to hold, or late in arriving. In practice it matters which pillar is voided and whether it is clashed or combined; the fact alone settles nothing.

Jia-Xu day pillar FAQ
What is the personality of the Jia-Xu day pillar?
The Day Master Jia Wood is the subject: With Jia Wood as your Day Master, you are like a great tree growing toward the sky, carrying a stubborn streak of integrity deep in your bones. The day branch Xu is the spouse palace and stands as Indirect Wealth to the Day Master, adding a second layer. Personality is read from the whole chart; the day pillar is only its most central part.
What kind of partner does the Jia-Xu day pillar suggest?
The partner is loyal and dutiful with a strong sense of responsibility, and will hold to what they have committed to. Xu is a Fire vault: steady most of the time, but the temper, when it comes, is hard — that is pressure released at once.
Is the Jia-Xu day pillar good or bad?
No day pillar is inherently good or bad. The spouse palace star of Jia-Xu is Indirect Wealth, which names a pattern of relating, not a score. What actually decides how smoothly things run is the balance of the whole chart and the luck cycle, not one pillar.
What are the void branches of Jia-Xu?
Jia-Xu belongs to the Jia-Xu decade, so its void branches are Shen, You. Which pillar the void lands on, and whether it is stirred by a clash or combination, is what matters; the bare fact decides nothing.
