乙 · Yi · Yin Wood
A 乙 (Yi) Day Master means the heavenly stem of your birth day is 乙: Yin Wood, whose image is the vine and the grass. Yi Wood is the vine and the grass: supple, resourceful, able to live in the cracks.
You grow along whatever is there, and can wind yourself around other people's frames. The lesson is: borrow support without losing your own direction.
Lines from the classics for this Day Master
A tree you can barely embrace grows from a tiny shoot; a nine-story terrace rises from a basket of earth; a journey of a thousand miles begins beneath your feet.
— 《道德经》第六十四章
The mountain tree invites its own felling; the grease fire fries itself. Cinnamon is edible, so it is cut down; lacquer is useful, so the tree is gashed.
— 《庄子·人间世》
Heaven moves with strength; so the noble person makes themself strong and does not rest.
— 《周易·乾卦·象传》
