How it's built
Gi is the garden field — soft earth that grows things. It notices what people need, keeps a lot inside and turns effort into harvest. Practical and caring, it carries more than it shows.
Yu (酉), the Rooster, is mid-autumn — the harvest-time jewel. Neat, precise and principled; it notices details others miss.
Here the stem feeds the branch: energy flows out of you into what you make and say. Expressive and generous with ideas — just remember to refill.
Personality — who sits in your closest seat
In saju the day branch is the seat closest to you: your private self, and traditionally your partner's seat.
The Creator. Easygoing creativity sits in your closest seat. You enjoy good food, good company and making things with your hands, and people relax around you. Your talent shows best when you're having fun.
Life stage: Sprout. Like a newborn: fresh, well liked and well supported. Things tend to get started smoothly around you.
In short: the garden field on the Rooster, with The Creator close by and a Sprout kind of energy.
Work and talents
Food, hospitality, teaching and design — anything you can craft and share. Steady output, happy people.
