Heaven Ji (己)
Ji, hiding Jia-Xu: privacy, schemes, traps and land. Below are its combinations over the nine earth stems.
How to read Ji
Ji hides Jia-Xu and is yin Earth. It stands for privacy, plans, inner thoughts and land, and also carries the image of traps and snares. In Ji's palace, look for hidden conditions or private arrangements.
The heaven stem stands for change, outside forces or the visiting side; the earth stem for the existing situation or the host. Ji means much the same on either plate, but on the heaven plate it leans towards what is happening or arriving from outside, and on the earth plate towards what was already there, on your own side.
