What career suits a Ji day master?

This page refuses that kind of verdict. What can be computed is structure: the officer branches (what controls Ji) sit at Yin and Mao, the resource branches at Si and Wu, the output branches at Shen and You, and the Lu post at Wu. How strong each group is depends on the month command and the full chart — that is the favorable-element calculator's job.

Do many officer branches mean a good career?

No. The officer axis describes the structural channel of authority and accountability — Direct Officer read as order, Seven Killings as pressure by the tradition. How many channels exist and where they sit are checkable numbers; how they are activated needs the whole chart.

Why are Lu and the blade career signals?

Lu is the stem's Official-Post seat (Ji at Wu), classically read as the post where salary is drawn; the blade is the Prosperity seat (Si), read as the edge of competition. Both derive from the twelve stages and reconcile with the stage pages.

The two nobleman schools disagree — now what?

On this stem both schools give the same branches (Zi and Shen). Where they do disagree (exactly Geng and Xin), this site prints both with attribution.

The career axis of the Ji day master

This page breaks "career for a Ji day master" into checkable structural signals: the officer branches (the authority channel), the resource branches (credentials and backing), the output branches (skills and delivery), Lu (the earned post), the blade (the competitive edge), the nobleman branches and the official seal. Every landing branch and every count is computed — the internet's "wood people career luck" cannot produce these numbers, because it never computed them.

Computed facts (engine-verified)

This page is generated from the engine v0.14.0; every signal follows conventions R32/R33 on the methodology page and can be reconciled item by item.

Day master	己 Ji · Yin Earth
Officer branches (authority / pressure)	2: 寅 Yin (Tiger), 卯 Mao (Rabbit) — the two Wood stems that control Earth are each the main qi of exactly one branch
Resource branches (credentials / backing)	2: 巳 Si (Snake), 午 Wu (Horse) — Fire generates Earth
Output branches (skills / delivery)	2: 申 Shen (Monkey), 酉 You (Rooster) — what Earth itself generates

Yin Ren — the competitive edge	巳 Si — the Prosperity seat of Ji
Nobleman branches (both schools)	Zi, Shen (main) (alt school agrees)
Guo Yin — the official seal	Yin

One row per branch: its main-qi hidden stem, that stem's ten god against the day master, and the role it plays in this scenario. Hit rows carry the role; empty rows print a dash — the blanks are information too.

A note on what this page deliberately does not do: the popular versions of this material assign a fixed personality to each term — one character per branch, one destiny per stage. This site rejects that framing. What is published here is a structural position: which element sits where, on what kind of ground, with which tenants inside. The same term reads differently under a different month command, and no meaningful judgement exists without the other characters of the chart. Where the tradition offers a reading it is labelled as the tradition's; this site's own contribution is that every number and term on this page is computed, versioned and checkable against the methodology page.
