The Four Pillars

壬︎Yang Water — Rén

Heavenly Stem · Yang Water · the ocean

The ninth Heavenly Stem — Yang Water, the ocean or great river, vast moving water with hidden depth and reach.

Rén reads as expansive, resourceful motion: a wide mind that flows around barriers and carries a great deal beneath the surface. It asks you to give your currents a direction, so all that depth arrives somewhere rather than only churning.
