癸巳 Gui Si Day Pillar: Dew sparkling in early-summer sun

By Data Saju · Published October 3, 2026 · Updated November 5, 2026

Gui Si is dew (癸) forming in early-summer sunlight (巳). Like dew glittering in the sun, this pillar shows wit and charm.

At a glance

Personality

Clever and witty, with good practical and financial sense. Sitting on Direct Wealth, you save diligently, and a Direct Officer (戊) and Direct Resource (庚) in 巳 add uprightness and a capacity to learn. The 戊 in 巳 combines with your 癸 Day Master (戊癸), so you treasure close relationships. The Conception stage holds new potential.

Love and partner

Direct Wealth sits in the spouse palace and its 戊 (Direct Officer) combines with you. For women this joins the spouse star; for men Wealth sits in the spouse palace — either way, deep affection with a spouse. You love tenderly and practically.

Work and money

Work that handles people and money with care suits you: finance, accounting, education, counselling, service. Money builds up through careful management.

Cautions and advice

Dew under the sun dries out easily. Save your energy so you do not tire yourself out minding everything. Keep learning and rest — the Metal that refills your water — close.

Day pillars that click, and day pillars that clash

Stems and branches both combine: 戊申 Wu Shen. With a stem combination and a Six Harmony at once (天合地合), these pairs are drawn to each other and mesh naturally.

Stems and branches both clash: 丁亥 Ding Hai, 己亥 Ji Hai. The branches clash and the stems collide too, so methods and pace differ and tension arises easily — though such pairs can also spur each other to grow.

Real compatibility looks at both whole charts, each person's useful element and the luck you go through together, not one day pillar. See how compatibility works.

When does a Gui Si day come around?

Day pillars run in a sixty-day cycle. From October 2026 to the end of 2027, 癸巳 Gui Si days fall 13 times: Sun, Nov 15, 2026; Thu, Jan 14, 2027; Mon, Mar 15, 2027; Fri, May 14, 2027; Tue, Jul 13, 2027; Sat, Sep 11, 2027; Wed, Nov 10, 2027; Sun, Jan 9, 2028; Thu, Mar 9, 2028; Mon, May 8, 2028; Fri, Jul 7, 2028; Tue, Sep 5, 2028; Sat, Nov 4, 2028 (by the local calendar date). A day that repeats your own day pillar is read as a day when your Day Master is strong — some use it to start something important or to take stock.

What 2026 and 2027 mean for a Gui Si day pillar

• 2026, the 丙午 Bing Wu year: the stem 丙 is your Direct Wealth and the branch 午 is your Indirect Wealth, so it is a year when money, practical gains and activity increase. No combination or clash with your day branch, so the year runs fairly calmly.
• 2027, the 丁未 Ding Wei year: the stem 丁 is your Indirect Wealth and the branch 未 is your Seven Killings, so it is a year when money, practical gains and activity increase. The stem clashes with your Day Master, so your thinking may waver. No combination or clash with your day branch, so the year runs fairly calmly.

2027 month by month

Saju months change at the solar terms, not on the 1st. For a Gui Si day pillar we calculated the ten god of each month's stem and how the month's branch meets your day branch. Months that combine with your day branch: August (戊申), September (己酉), January 2028 (癸丑). The month that clashes with it: November (辛亥).

Zodiac signs that suit Gui Si, and signs that clash

Counting from the day branch 巳, the Ox (丑), Monkey (申), Rooster (酉) form a Six or Three Harmony and are read as easy matches; the Pig (亥) clashes with it, so pace and style differ. A zodiac sign is only the other person's year branch, so real compatibility needs both whole charts.

The facts table, the matching pillars, the dates, the 2026–2027 flow and the zodiac signs all come from the same engine as our readings; the month pillars were re-checked against the solar-term times. A day pillar is two of the eight characters in a chart, so the same day pillar reads quite differently depending on the year, month and hour of birth.
