FAQ
- What does a Gap (Yang Wood) day master tend to be like?
- A Gap day master reads as a straight, upward, fresh-start current. Once a direction is set, the drive to push up and a forthright streak often become strengths. When the straightness runs too far, though, it can fail to bend and clash to the point of breaking.
- How does Gap differ from the other heavenly stems?
- Gap is the first of the ten stems — the seat of new shoots and beginnings. Among the wood stems, where Yi (Yin Wood) reads as bending to adapt, Gap reads as growing straight up. It's the character that places starting and pioneering energy out front.
