Heaven Yi (乙)

Yi, the Sun wonder: gentleness, women, medicine and the arts; the wife in marriage questions. Below are its combinations over the nine earth stems.

How to read Yi

Yi, the Sun wonder, is yin Wood. In love and marriage questions it often stands for the woman or wife; it also represents medicine, the arts, gentle methods and women colleagues or elders. If Yi's palace has a good door and spirit, a soft approach is more likely to succeed.

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