Heaven Ren (壬)

Ren, hiding Jia-Chen: movement, travel, confinement and change. Below are its combinations over the nine earth stems.

How to read Ren

Ren hides Jia-Chen and is yang Water. It stands for flow, travel, movement and change, and also being caught or held back. Ren's palace often relates to moving, logistics and the flow of money.

The heaven stem stands for change, outside forces or the visiting side; the earth stem for the existing situation or the host. Ren 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.
