The Gapsul (甲戌) day pillar pairs the day stem 甲 — The Great Tree — with the day branch 戌 (Dog).

Xu earth is dry autumn ground and the storehouse of fire — the place of guarding and finishing. Deeply loyal; what it takes on, it carries.

Xu in the day branch is loyalty and principle — not easily abandoning people, holding its post, though its sense of what is right leaves little room to bend.
