Strong metal meeting high-summer fire.

Stem Geng (庚) · Branch Horse (午)

Geng (庚) is yang Metal, which the Dichten Sui calls firmest of all (剛強為最), and Wu (午) is the Fire of high summer (仲夏). With fire working metal (火剋金), it reads as strong metal whose grain changes on meeting fire.

How to read this pairing

Jeombaksa reads this as strong metal changing on meeting fire. 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

• Strong metal meeting summer fire
• Can be mapped to the Dichten Sui’s ‘sharpened by fire’ (得火而銳)
• A combination where firmness and heat interlock

A note of caution

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

In everyday scenes (work · relationships)

Work · This can be mapped to a work scene, but it doesn’t indicate job aptitude.

Relationships · This can be mapped to a relationship scene too, but it isn’t grounds for judging one’s way of relating or its constancy.
