Three Nobles & Six Yi

Wu Yi

One of the Six Yi. The stem Wu is yang Earth — the head of the Jiazi decade hides beneath it — imaged as mountains and dikes. It is the star of capital and money, governing funds, land and property, and credit; in wealth readings, Wu is the focal stem.

In Depth

Wu is one of the Six Yi of Qimen. The stem Wu is yang Earth, solid as mountains and dikes. Qimen holds Jia noble but hidden: the head of the Jiazi decade conceals itself beneath Wu, so Wu often carries the Chief's air of nobility. On the plate, Wu is the star of capital, its imagery covering funds, money, real estate, land, collateral, and credit; readings on wealth, lending, and investment all take the state of heaven-plate Wu's palace as the core focal point. Wu Earth flourishes in the earth months at the four season-ends, and with Fire feeding it, the flow of wealth runs full; landing in the Zhen or Xun wood palaces and overcome, wealth is squeezed and funds silt up. Wu over the earth-plate stems forms many patterns: over Bing, the Azure Dragon Turns Its Head, and Bing over Wu, the Flying Bird Falls into the Nest — both among Qimen's great auspicious patterns, favorable to ventures and wealth alike; over Ji, the Noble Enters Prison; over Geng, the Chief Flies from the Palace; over Ren, the Azure Dragon Enters the Heavenly Prison — all damaging to money matters; two Wu in one palace make Fu Yin, everything blocked, funds frozen in place. Reading wealth by Wu, also weigh the Life Door: where the Life Door and Wu generate or match each other, the road of wealth runs clear; where they clash or punish, money comes only to go. Points to note: Wu with Void means paper numbers floating free of substance, and promised funds fail to arrive; in a direction where Wu is clashed and overcome, neither buy property nor park savings — to guard wealth, first guard the palace.

Readings by Topic

Career

Wu is the star of capital and credit. At work it favors handling budgets, finance, and asset matters — those who keep their word build step by solid step. Wu in a flourishing palace means the platform's foundations run deep; settle in and cultivate. Wu clashed and overcome means the employer's funds are tight — read the books before jumping ship.

Wealth

In wealth readings Wu is the focal stem. Wu in a flourishing palace fed by the Life Door means ample funds and income with a source. Over Bing it forms the Azure Dragon Turns Its Head — great wealth can be attempted. Wu in its tomb or in Void means capital locked dead or promises unmet: pull back from investing and lending alike.

Relationships

Wu in the palace of love means money weighs heavily in the relationship — marriage talk cannot skirt property and betrothal gifts. A flourishing Wu means solid family means and steady negotiations. Wu overcome makes finances the main fault line; put the financial arrangement on the table before the wedding, and the marriage lasts the longer for it.

Health

Wu is yang Earth, corresponding to the spleen and stomach, muscles, and skin. In illness readings, guard against digestive stagnation, poor digestion, and lumps and nodules. Wu in excess means Earth congestion — keep the diet light and measured. Wu weak and overcome means a feeble spleen and stomach; before any tonics, first restore digestion.

Travel

Wu governs earth and steadiness. In travel readings the itinerary runs plain and unruffled, suiting business inspections and property-viewing trips. Wu clashed and overcome, guard against travel budgets overrunning and hotel-deposit disputes. On mountain roads watch for slides and falling rock, and don't linger in precipitous places.

Disputes & Lawsuits

Wu governs money and credit; lawsuits under it mostly spring from loans, contract payments, and property. A flourishing Wu with an auspicious door means clean accounts and a strong hand. Wu in Void puts the other side's ability to repay in doubt — winning the judgment may still mean a fight to enforce it, so trace their assets in advance.
