Wu Earth 戊 is the only DM which can stand the test of time. The Wu Earth 戊, also known as the Yang Earth, can be envisioned as mountains, immovable land features, and sometimes big rocks. Over the years of evolution and civilization, Wu Earth will always be around and hardly make a difference. That makes them very reliable, stable and independent & The person who have seen it all! Wu Earth DM are caring and protective, especially with those around them.
Wu Earth DM can stay impartial and self-sufficient despite the changes in the external world. Besides, they hold on to secrets and knowledge and don't share much of their feelings with others. Not that they want to hide things from you, but they are generally more reserved and don't find "sharing" a necessary thing to do. Just like all immovable mountains and rocks, they can sometimes be extremely stubborn and hard to "move", i.e. always prefer to stay within their comfort zone.
However, once they kick start their momentum, they will generally keep the momentum going. Imagine a big round rock; hard to get it moving, but once it moves, it starts crushing everyone in the way.
Similarly, like all Day Master - they have subtle differences only because they come with six different branches.
According to the old classical text of Liu Bo Wen,
戊土固重,既中且正,靜翕動闢,萬物司令。水潤物生,火燥物病,
若在艮(寅)坤(申),怕沖宜靜。
The text describes that all Wu Earth DM is essential in being the centre of mother earth and nature. As a mountain exists on the ground gives contour , shape and creates boundaries so that the ocean does not flood the whole land. Hence, a good quality Wu 戊 Earth DM is best to come with roots, meaning sitting on another Wu Earth hidden stem 戊辰 & 戊戌. Moreover, a mountain must be stacked and solid to quality as a great mountain because, no matter what happens underneath the earth, the Wu Earth will withstand changes, i.e. clashes. Thus, Wu Earth DM, which has a strong mountain, does not feel many changes or effects during clash times.
Earth has no specific season, so it appears to be strong during spring and summer. In comparison, it weakens during autumn and winter. Wu Earth DM is born during Spring and Summer; it is essential to have water Ren 壬 (7K) or Gui 癸 (DO) to make the earth fertile so that matter, Geng 庚 (EG) and Xin 辛 (HO) can be produced by the mountain. Without these precious stones, all Wu DM won't have anything valuable to provide with time. While if Wu Earth DM is born during Winter and Autumn, it is essential to have heat, such as Ding 丁(DR) and Bing 丙 (IR) , to ensure that Geng 庚 (EG) and Xin 辛(HO) will not crack and will take shape.
Thus, heat and cold are also essential for Wu Earth DM to output and productivity over time.
The next part is to understand which or how Wu Earth you are. In total, there are six different types of Wu Earth. Although all are still mountains, they are very different as well.
1. Wu Zi 戊子: The Mysterious Wu
Among all the Wu Earth DM, Wu Zi is different because it's very mysterious. Imagine it's a mountain but covered with fog and mist. Wu Zi possesses some form of mysteriously; "I want to know more attractiveness towards others. On top of that, this Wu Earth is one of the Six Elegance Days (usually physically attractive in person). Despite how beautiful and exciting they are to others, they are very insecure because of their conflicting personalities - Wu, which doesn't move, and Gui, which moves around. In a nutshell, emotions can be their biggest enemy. However, they are still very dependable, determined, hardworking and practical. All Wu Zi must ensure that they manage their emotions before it takes over them.
2. Wu Yin 戊寅: The Ambitious Wu
