Tough summer grass on a warm hillside, goats grazing in the late afternoon.
Eul-mi places the flowering plant, 乙, on the Goat, 未, dry earth at the end of summer. The Goat holds wood inside, so the plant has roots here, and the stage is Nurture: growth being looked after. The picture is hardy grass on a warm hill.
People with this day pillar are often described as gentle, practical and persistent, with a talent for making do. You sit on Venture, which reads as an engaged, practical relationship with the world and its resources. The tradition sees a soft manner and a tough will.
With others you tend to be caring and easy to be around. You may put up with more than you should. The growth point is water: a summer hillside needs rain, so let comfort and support in.

What sits inside Eul-mi
The branch 未 Mi holds hidden stems (지장간 jijanggan). Seen from the day master 乙, each one takes a ten god role. The last one listed is the main stem, so this pillar is said to sit on the Venture. What your element controls, same polarity: big moves, opportunity and a wide social world.
| Hidden stem | Ten god for 乙 |
|---|---|
| 丁 Jeong, yin fire (9 days) | Maker 식신 |
| 乙 Eul, yin wood (3 days) | Peer 비견 |
| 己 Gi, yin earth (18 days) | Venture 편재 |
In the twelve stage life cycle (십이운성 sibi unseong), 乙 in 未 stands at Nurture (양 養): the new life is nourished in the womb, read as being cared for and growing quietly.
A question to sit with
Where are you making do when you could ask for better?
