Fire day masters
Yang Fire (丙): You are warm, open, and your enthusiasm spreads easily. When you arrive, the mood usually brightens with you.
Even the sun sets. Give yourself time to rest, and finish what you have started.
Yin Fire (丁): You are calm, attentive, and able to light up what others overlook. Your light is not large, but it warms those close to you.
Tend your own flame. You do not have to warm everyone all the time.
| Character | Polarity | Image |
