Wood feeds Fire
Wood feeds Fire in the five-element cycle, so 甲 tends to give and 丁 tends to receive. 甲 often brings support and ideas, and 丁 brings warmth and results. Making sure the giving goes both ways keeps it balanced.
One yang stem and one yin stem: one tends to push forward and the other tends to read the room, which often fits well.

If you are one of them
If you are Yang Wood and your partner is Yin Fire
Wood feeds fire in saju, and that is the story between you and your partner. Your core element, the character that stands for you (日干), is wood, while your partner is fire. You tend to inspire and support them, and they tend to light up when you are around. Think of a teacher and a star student who make each other better. This pairing often feels warm and generous. Still, fire moves fast and wood grows slowly, so you may feel rushed by your partner's pace. Instead of silently keeping up, name your tempo: I am in, and I need a day to think. That small sentence keeps the fire bright without scorching the tree.
If you are Yin Fire and your partner is Yang Wood
The element representing you (Day Master) is fire, and your partner's is wood. In the generating cycle (相生, where one element feeds the next), wood fuels fire, so your partner naturally supports and encourages you. You may feel more confident, creative or cheerful around them, like a flame that finally has enough kindling. It is easy to receive this kind of care, and easy to forget how much it gives. Make a point of noticing what your partner needs to grow, whether that is time, space or your help with a plan. Wood keeps giving when it feels the fire truly values it, and your gratitude is the easiest way to show that.
