Gathered late-autumn soil bracing strong metal.

Stem Geng (庚) · Branch Dog (戌)

Geng (庚) is yang Metal, which the Dichten Sui calls firmest of all (剛強為最), and Xu (戌) is the Earth of late autumn (季秋). With earth giving rise to metal (土生金), the gathered late-autumn soil braces the strong metal and passes its stored energy on — a Resource position.

How to read this pairing

Jeombaksa reads this as gathering late-autumn soil bracing strong metal and carrying its energy on. 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

• Gathered late-autumn soil (Xu earth) bracing strong yang metal (Geng)
• A Resource place (土生金) where the season’s stored earth packs into the metal it raises
• Even in the same 土生金 Resource, unlike late-spring soil (Geng-Chen), here the metal is braced by gathered late-autumn soil

A note of caution

Within these two characters only Metal and Earth 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 using a braced energy, by what do you decide where to set up and where to draw back?

Relationships · By what do you watch that a firmly carried-on energy doesn’t harden into stubbornness in a relationship?
