Gui Water (癸水) — The Morning Dew & Spring Rain
“癸水至弱，达于天津。得龙而运，功化斯神。不愁火土，不论庚辛。合戊见火，化象斯真。”Gui Water is supremely subtle, yet reaches the celestial river. Meeting the Dragon (Chen) it transforms with miraculous grace. It does not dread Fire and Earth, nor depend blindly on Geng and Xin. Combining with Wu Earth in the presence of Fire, its transformation is true. — Di Tian Sui (滴天髓 · 天干论)
Gui (癸) is Yin Water—gentle spring rain, morning dew, underground mineral springs, and atmospheric clouds. Though quiet on the surface, Gui Water penetrates the deepest crevices and nourishes every living root silently.
