What BOYNEXTDOOR Riwoo's 戊辰 day pillar says about his ideal partner — read from his birth chart, not from an interview.
In Korean astrology, Riwoo's ideal partner is quietly refined. His 戊辰 day pillar — the part of a Saju chart that describes what someone is drawn to — is heavy earth over a dragon's wet ground, and his partner star inside it is 癸, the softest form of water. He is drawn to someone elegant and unhurried, with real taste, who is his equal and does not try to put him on a timetable.
Riwoo's day pillar is a broad hill standing on fertile, water-holding earth. The dragon in the branch is the only one of the twelve that keeps water inside it, and the water it keeps is the soft kind.
He is the free-spirited, unpredictable member, with strong pride and a real love of stylish, refined things. His chart holds taste as a value, not an affectation, and it holds a schedule as something other people have.
So he is not drawn to a schedule. Someone who needs to know the plan, who manages him, who treats the unpredictability as a problem to be solved, would spend the relationship fighting the ground he is standing on.
He wants refinement without hurry. Someone elegant and quietly beautiful in their choices, who moves at their own pace and is content to let him move at his. An equal — the principal stem in his spouse palace is a copy of himself — with a gentler, cooler temperament than his, because the partner star inside the position is soft water rather than stone.
Riwoo's 辰 holds 乙 Wood, 癸 Water, and 戊 Earth as the principal.
Against his 戊 day master those are 정관, 정재 and 비견. The 정재 is his partner star, the proper, settled form of it, and it is 癸 — rain and dew rather than river. Quiet, fine, cooling. That is the refinement in the reading.
The principal stem is 戊, a copy of his own, which is why the partner is an equal and not someone he leads. The 乙 beside them is 정관, the graceful form of structure, and the reason the elegance is also upright. Water, grace and a peer, in that order.
Riwoo was born on 22 October 2003, in the 戌 month — late autumn, dry earth, with 戊 as the principal stem again. Three pillars of Earth over Earth, with 壬 and 癸 sitting above them as the only water in sight. 戌 and 辰 also clash, so his month branch sits directly against his spouse palace.
《穷通宝鉴》 on 戊土 in this month asks for 甲 to break the ground open, then 癸 to moisten it and 丙 to warm it. He has the 癸 in his palace and above his year. The 甲 is absent, with only 乙 standing in for it, and so is the 丙.
Heavy, dry ground with a clash running through it is a chart that does not respond to pressure. The partner star being soft water, sitting inside the one wet branch he has, is why the reading points at ease and refinement rather than at force.
Read from stem combination, branch harmony, clash and 원진. Why these four →
Both halves — 戊 and 癸 combine at the stem, 辰 and 酉 at the branch — and 癸 is his partner star. The clean answer.
甲 is the first thing 《穷通宝鉴》 asks for on an autumn 戊, and 申 makes half the 申子辰 frame with his branch. The most structured of the three.
丙 is the warmth the classics ask for, and 子 completes the water frame from the other side. Softer than the 申 version.
戌 against 辰 is a head-on clash on the spouse palace. It is also his own month branch, so the clash is already running inside his chart.
辰 with 辰 is 자형. A partner with the same branch doubles the dragon rather than settling it.
亥 with 辰 is 원진.

This is who Riwoo's chart is drawn to. Your chart says who you end up with: the age gap, their looks, how they show affection, where their money comes from and the years you are most likely to marry. Read from your date and time of birth.
Riwoo was born on 22 October 2003, giving him a 戊辰 day pillar and a 壬戌 month. Idol birth times are not public, so this works from three pillars rather than four. How day pillars work, and how far this method goes →
Your day pillar comes from your birth date, not your birth month, which is why a star sign cannot give it to you. Free, and about a minute.
FIND MY DAY PILLARSomeone refined, unhurried and his equal. His 戊辰 day pillar is heavy earth over the dragon's wet ground, and his 정재 partner star inside it is 癸, the softest water — a partner with taste and a gentle, cooling temperament who does not try to put him on a timetable.
A schedule. Someone who manages him or treats the unpredictability as a problem spends the relationship fighting the ground he stands on.
戊辰, from his birth date of 22 October 2003. In Saju the day pillar is the relationship indicator: the stem is the person and the branch is the spouse palace, 배우자궁.
癸酉 combines at both the stem and the branch and carries his partner star. 甲申 brings the 甲 the classics ask for and 丙子 the warmth. 戌 — his own month branch — clashes with his spouse palace, a second 辰 forms 자형, and 亥 is 원진.
His 辰 branch holds 乙 Wood, 癸 Water and 戊 Earth — 정관, 정재 and 비견 against his day master. The 정재 is his partner star and it is soft water, which is why the reading is about refinement. The 비견 is the principal, which is why the partner is an equal.
