How it's built
Mu is the mountain — steady, wide and hard to push around. People lean on it because it doesn't move when things get loud. It takes its time to decide, then holds the line.
Ja (子), the Rat, is midwinter midnight water — the darkest hour that is already preparing the next spring. Quick-witted, observant and always a step ahead in thought.
Here the stem works the branch: you are sitting on something to shape and manage. Practical, results-minded and good with resources.
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 Keeper. Steady resources sit in your closest seat. Reliable, organised and careful with what you build, you show love by taking care of practical things. Slow and sure beats fast and flashy for you.
Life stage: Seed. A seed just planted: curious, hopeful and full of plans. Your ideas need a little time to grow.
In short: the mountain on the Rat, with The Keeper close by and a Seed kind of energy.
Work and talents
Finance, operations, management and craft — roles where careful, steady work adds up.
Travel buddies
