Gyeong-sin day pillar(庚申)

Gyeong (庚) is yang Metal, the metal that harvests and cuts. Sin (申) is also yang Metal, the place where harvesting begins in early fall. With the same Metal above and below, the ground beneath you shares your nature. Its main stem is also Gyeong Metal, so the inner and outer characters match.

The day branch's Ten God is Companion, and its twelve life stage is Prosperity (Geonrok, 建祿). Sin (申) contains Gyeong (庚) as Companion, Im (壬) as Eating God, and Mu (戊) as Indirect Resource. Productive Water and unusual learning lie beneath Metal that stands as your equal. Traditionally, this suggests standing by your own standards while holding practical output and study within. Prosperity is the phase of standing on your own strength.

Its traditional sound-element classification is Pomegranate Wood (Seongnyumok, 石榴木), an old image of a pomegranate tree. That is as far as the calculation alone goes. Gyeong-sin readings differ depending on whether Fire in the month branch refines the Metal or additional Metal strengthens Companion.

Companion with Prosperity traditionally suggests work where you take responsibility independently. Machinery·metalwork·legal work·surgery·quality control·self-employment fit the image of cutting and building. Among the hidden stems, Eating God turns skill into results, while Indirect Resource adds specialized fields.

Metal meeting only Metal lacks flexibility. We look to the month branch to see whether Fire (Officer) makes the Metal useful or abundant Water drains it. One day pillar does not determine your career.

Companion occupies the day branch, your partner seat. Traditionally, even close relationships feel more comfortable when each person stands independently rather than one leaning on the other. Relationships with someone who shares similar standards are considered more lasting.

Compatibility is read through pairings with the day branch, Sin (申). Sa (巳) forms a Sa-Sin Six Harmony, while In (寅) forms an In-Sin Clash, meeting it head-on. Ja (子) · Jin (辰) join it in a Sin-Ja-Jin Three Harmony. Calculation establishes these pairings; both full birth charts reveal how the relationships take shape.

In a man's traditional reading, Wealth represents the spouse. A Gyeong-sin man's day branch holds Companion rather than Wealth, so we look for the pillar containing Wealth (Wood). Because Companion shares wealth, we also assess its strength.

In a woman's traditional reading, Officer represents the spouse. A Gyeong-sin woman's day branch also lacks Officer, so we examine the pillar containing Officer (Fire). If gender is unknown, we include both readings.

When blades meet, their edges suffer. Traditional cautions for Gyeong-sin include holding everyone to your own standards and cutting them with your words, or refusing help in the Prosperity phase until you wear yourself down alone.

The Void branches for this ten-day cycle are Ja (子)·Chuk (丑). This only means those branches, if present, are traditionally read as less firmly established. An In-Sin Clash forms in In (寅) years and ten-year periods. The calculation identifies the Clash; it does not predict a specific event.
