Early-autumn metal working a great tree.

Stem Jia (甲) · Branch Monkey (申)

Jia (甲) is yang Wood, which the Dichten Sui calls soaring to the sky (甲木參天), and Shen (申) is the Metal of early autumn (孟秋). With firm metal working wood (金剋木), it reads as an Officer position where the branch’s metal energy heads toward the stem’s wood.

How to read this pairing

Jeombaksa reads this as early-autumn metal working the sky-soaring great tree, metal heading toward wood. This is only the imagery of a two-character pairing; actual tendencies must be read with the other six characters and the season.

What the combination shows

• Sky-soaring yang wood (Jia) facing early-autumn metal (Shen)
• Metal working wood (Officer) — outer metal energy heads toward the wood
• Even in the same 金剋木, unlike grass-like yin wood (Yi-You), the straight-rising great tree meets the force with a firmer stance

A note of caution

Within these two characters only Wood and Metal show; the other six characters of the chart may hold other elements. Don’t judge character from the Day Pillar’s two characters alone.

Questions to ask yourself (work · relationships)

Work · When facing a force that means to handle you, by what do you divide where to bend and where to stand straight?

Relationships · By what do you watch that standing straight before an opposing force doesn’t stiffen the relationship?
