What Stray Kids Lee Know's 乙巳 day pillar says about his ideal partner — read from his birth chart, not from an interview.
In Korean astrology, Lee Know's ideal partner is quick on the surface and solid beneath it. His 乙巳 day pillar — the part of a Saju chart that describes what someone is drawn to — holds 丙, the star of expression, as the principal and 戊, the proper partner star, right beside it. He is drawn to someone who can keep up with him in conversation and does not need to be handled with care.
Lee Know's day pillar puts a snake under a small tree. Quick, warm, hard to pin down, with solid ground underneath that most people do not notice until they are standing on it.
His chart carries two layers and switches between them without warning. Socially fluent and charming, then abruptly blunt, and both are real. The edge and the warmth draw on the same supply.
So he is not drawn to someone fragile. A partner who takes the blunt remark personally, or who needs the charming version all the time, would turn every evening into a negotiation, and his chart has no patience for that.
He wants quick company with steady ground under it. Someone sharp enough to answer him back and enjoy it, who finds the bluntness funny rather than wounding, and who is, underneath the banter, reliable in a plain and unshowy way. The expression star and the proper partner star sit side by side in his spouse palace, and that is the pairing.
Lee Know's 巳 holds 戊 Earth, 庚 Metal, and 丙 Fire as the principal.
Against his 乙 day master those are 정재, 정관 and 상관. The 정재 is his partner star — the steady, proper form of it — and it sits first in the branch. The 상관 is the principal stem, and 상관 in a spouse palace describes a partner who is expressive, talented and sharp-tongued. Which, read together, is somebody who can talk like him and still be relied on.
The 庚 between them is 정관, structure, and it is also the stem that combines with his own. All three of the outward stars in one position: the proper partner, the proper authority, and the star that talks back to both of them.
Lee Know was born on 25 October 1998, in the 戌 month — late autumn, dry earth, with 戊 as the principal stem, which is 정재 to a 乙 day master. The partner star is in the month as well as the day, and again in his year stem.
《穷通宝鉴》 on 乙木 in this month asks for 癸 first and 辛 second — water for a tree in dry ground, and a little Metal to bring it. He has 壬 as his month stem, the large form of water, and 庚 and 辛 hidden in his branches.
Three doses of 戊 and a dry autumn is a great deal of ground for one small tree. That is why the reliability in the partner is not optional and why the quickness has to be the surface of it rather than the whole thing. The chart has plenty of earth; it is drawn to the earth that moves.
Read from stem combination, branch harmony, clash and 원진. Why these four →
癸 is the exact water 《穷通宝鉴》 asks for first on an autumn 乙, and 酉 makes half the 巳酉丑 frame with his branch. The clean answer.
辛 is the second thing the classics ask for, and 丑 completes the same Metal frame from the other side. Cooler than the first.
Both halves — 乙 and 庚 combine at the stem, 巳 and 申 at the branch. The catch is that 巳 and 申 are also 형 with each other, so this is a strong tie with friction built in rather than a clean one.
亥 against 巳 is a head-on clash on the spouse palace.
寅 with 巳 is 형, part of the 寅巳申 three-way punishment. It is also his own year branch, so that corner is already in the chart.
戌 with 巳 is 원진, and it is his own month branch. His spouse palace sits in tension with both of the branches above it.
This is one of the pillars where the standard six-harmony partner, 申, is also a 형 partner. The tie is real and so is the friction; the two 巳酉丑 pillars are the cleaner answers.
Hyunjin also carries his partner star inside the spouse palace, but next to a 식신 principal rather than a 상관 one, and the readings part ways there. Hyunjin's 丁丑 reading →
This is who Lee Know'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.
Lee Know was born on 25 October 1998, giving him a 乙巳 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 quick on the surface and solid underneath. His 乙巳 day pillar holds 丙, the 상관 star of expression, as the principal stem of the spouse palace with 戊, his 정재 partner star, beside it — a partner who can answer him back and enjoy it, and who is reliable once the banter stops.
Someone fragile. A partner who takes the blunt remark personally, or needs the charming version all the time, turns every evening into a negotiation.
乙巳, from his birth date of 25 October 1998. In Saju the day pillar is the relationship indicator: the stem is the person and the branch is the spouse palace, 배우자궁.
癸酉 brings the water the classics ask for and half the 巳酉丑 frame; 辛丑 completes that frame. 庚申 combines at both the stem and the branch but 巳 and 申 are also 형, so it ties with friction. 亥 clashes with his spouse palace, 寅 — his year branch — forms 형 with it, and 戌 — his month branch — is 원진.
His 巳 branch holds 戊 Earth, 庚 Metal and 丙 Fire — 정재, 정관 and 상관 against his day master. The 정재 is his partner star and the 상관 is the principal, which is why the reading pairs reliability with quickness. 庚 is also the stem that combines with his own.
