The Four Pillars

癸︎Yin Water — Guǐ

Heavenly Stem · Yin Water · the dew

The tenth and last Heavenly Stem — Yin Water, the mist, dew or rain, gentle water that seeps in quietly and reaches everywhere.

Guǐ reads as soft, penetrating intuition: perceptive, imaginative, and able to nourish what it touches without any show of force. Its strength is sensitivity; its work is to keep from scattering, and to trust the quiet knowing it gathers.
