The Ren Xu day pillar pairs the Ren day master (Yang Water) with the Xu branch (Earth, the Dog). Below: the computed facts, what the seat relation and twelve-stage position mean structurally, the nayin gloss, the classical reading of the spouse palace, and an instant lookup for your own pillar.

| Day master | 壬 Ren · Yang Water |

| Day branch | 戌 Xu (Dog) · Earth |
| Hidden stems | 戊 Wu (Seven Killings, main qi); 辛 Xin (Direct Resource, middle qi); 丁 Ding (Direct Wealth, residual) |

| Nayin | Great Sea Water · 大海水 (shared with Gui Hai 癸亥) |
| Seat relation | Branch controls stem (jie jiao) — traditional term: 截脚 |
The branch controls the stem: Earth bears down on Water, so the Ren day master sits under pressure from its own base. The traditional name is 截脚 (jié jiǎo, "cutting the heel") — the seat pushes back against the self. Structurally this means the day master cannot take its own ground for granted; it is a pillar where the base tests the person, and the full chart shows what resources answer that test.

Great Sea Water (大海水): ocean water — the largest of the sixty, beyond banks and measurement. The classical reading is capacity that ordinary containers cannot hold.
In the spouse palace this is an Influence (官杀) configuration: the classical reading treats the partner-side branch as a source of structure, accountability, or pressure on the Ren day master. The structural point — stated by the tradition, not by this site — is that intimacy here comes with terms attached. Whether those terms read as support or as strain depends on the other seven characters, which is why this page stops at structure.
The main qi 戊 (Wu, Seven Killings) defines the palace's classical group: Influence. Middle/residual tenants: Xin (Direct Resource), Ding (Direct Wealth).
Birth date alone is enough — the day pillar never needs a birth time. The calculation runs in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
