What is fixed inside 丙戌
Earth on the roof
Earth on the roof has been formed and placed so that it completes a shelter.

丙戌 as a day pillar
Bing’s Fire is expansive and readily felt. Read through the Day Master, this image suggests vivid expression, direct engagement and an impulse to bring things into the open. Its intensity gives the interpretation movement and warmth. The surrounding chart helps distinguish a clear, sustained expression from heat that builds faster than it can find a useful outlet.
丙 above 戌
Fire generates Earth, so the visible stem feeds the branch phase. The day branch holds Wu 戊 (Eating God), Xin 辛 (Direct Wealth), Ding 丁 (Rob Wealth) relative to this Day Master.
