甲 Jia is not listed: in the chart it hides under one of the Six Yi 六仪 (戊 己 庚 辛 壬 癸), so it has no separate pairing here.
Learning note
This page reads only the Stem + Stem pairing in one palace, for learning purposes. Each reading is a starting tendency, not a verdict. A real reading looks at the whole chart — Door, Star, Deity, palace condition, Fuyin/Fanyin, Emptiness, Grave, Six Punishments and the question asked.
Health, legal and danger symbols are cautions, not diagnoses or certain outcomes. New to the stems? Start with Meaning of the Stems.
