The force most like yourself is the thickest in the chart. Standing on your own strength matters most to you.

fields built on steadiness and trust, like real estate, construction, agriculture & livestock, or services

Watch for overeating or indigestion — adjusting your diet helps.

The twelve day pillars pairing the stems 戊(mu), 己(gi) with their branches sit in this type. Each reads differently again depending on the branch it sits on.
