Xin-Wei Day Pillar: Xin Metal over Wei Earth, Spouse Palace Indirect Resource
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 Xin-Wei pillar is therefore about the relationship between "Xin Metal the person" and "Wei the partner".

What is the structure of Xin-Wei?
Xin-Wei is the stem Xin over the branch Wei. Xin is Yin Metal and is your Day Master, standing for you; Wei 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. Wei holds 己, 丁, 乙, which to the Day Master Xin Metal are:
The 本氣 carries the most weight, so the spouse palace of Xin-Wei mainly shows the face of Indirect Resource; the middle and residual stems are undertones that surface when a luck cycle or annual pillar stirs them.
Spouse palace in Wei: partner tendencies and how to get on
The partner：The partner is mild and family-minded, loyal to friends and relatives and willing to give. Wei is an Earth vault: soft on the surface, stubborn underneath, and very hard to turn once set.
Where to put the effort：Gentleness works; a head-on push locks them up. To change their mind, time does more than argument. Watch too for how readily they take on other people’s problems — shielding them occasionally is deeply appreciated.
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: Roadside Earth
Roadside Earth: the great ground stretching along the road, ten thousand acres of level field.
The soil beside the great roads and across the wide fields, bearing all who pass and feeding the crops. Practical and willing to give, content to pave the way and carry the load — its achievements build quietly.
Each Na Yin is shared by two pillars: Xin-Wei shares Roadside Earth with Geng-Wu. 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: Xu, Hai
Xin-Wei belongs to the Jia-Zi decade, which never reaches the branches Xu, Hai; 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.

Xin-Wei day pillar FAQ
What is the personality of the Xin-Wei day pillar?
The Day Master Xin Metal is the subject: With Xin Metal as your Day Master, you are like a piece of jade polished with great care, born with a refined quality and finely tuned antennae. The day branch Wei is the spouse palace and stands as Indirect Resource 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 Xin-Wei day pillar suggest?
The partner is mild and family-minded, loyal to friends and relatives and willing to give. Wei is an Earth vault: soft on the surface, stubborn underneath, and very hard to turn once set.
Is the Xin-Wei day pillar good or bad?
No day pillar is inherently good or bad. The spouse palace star of Xin-Wei is Indirect Resource, 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 Xin-Wei?
Xin-Wei belongs to the Jia-Zi decade, so its void branches are Xu, Hai. Which pillar the void lands on, and whether it is stirred by a clash or combination, is what matters; the bare fact decides nothing.
