Yi-Wei Day Pillar: Yi Wood over Wei 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 Yi-Wei pillar is therefore about the relationship between "Yi Wood the person" and "Wei the partner".

What is the structure of Yi-Wei?
Yi-Wei is the stem Yi over the branch Wei. Yi is Yin Wood 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 Yi Wood are:
The 本氣 carries the most weight, so the spouse palace of Yi-Wei 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 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: Gold in the Sand
Gold in the Sand: hard form scattered across the ground, precious substance hidden in the grit.
Grains of gold mixed into the sand — real in substance, yet needing to be panned before they show. Talent here is often buried in the ordinary; only after a round of sifting and grinding is its worth seen.
Each Na Yin is shared by two pillars: Yi-Wei shares Gold in the Sand with Jia-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: Chen, Si
Yi-Wei belongs to the Jia-Wu decade, which never reaches the branches Chen, Si; 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.

Yi-Wei day pillar FAQ
What is the personality of the Yi-Wei day pillar?
The Day Master Yi Wood is the subject: With Yi Wood as your Day Master, you are like flowering plants and climbing vines: gentle and soft on the surface, yet extraordinarily resilient underneath. The day branch Wei 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 Yi-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 Yi-Wei day pillar good or bad?
No day pillar is inherently good or bad. The spouse palace star of Yi-Wei 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 Yi-Wei?
Yi-Wei belongs to the Jia-Wu decade, so its void branches are Chen, Si. Which pillar the void lands on, and whether it is stirred by a clash or combination, is what matters; the bare fact decides nothing.
