Early-autumn metal filling great water.

Stem Ren (壬) · Branch Monkey (申)

Ren (壬) is yang Water, which the Dichten Sui calls vast (壬水汪洋, 周流不滯), and Shen (申) is the Metal of early autumn (孟秋). With metal giving rise to water (金生水), it reads as a Resource position where the branch’s metal energy carries into the stem’s great water.

How to read this pairing

Jeombaksa reads this as early-autumn metal carrying its energy on into the broad great water, metal heading toward water. 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

• Broad-flowing yang water (Ren) receiving generation from early-autumn metal (Shen)
• Metal giving rise to water (Resource) — outer metal energy carries on into the great water
• Even in the same 金生水 Resource, unlike delicate water (Gui-You), the broad great water takes in and fills with a fuller energy

A note of caution

Within these two characters only Water 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 using a taken-in, filling energy, by what do you divide where to widen and where to contain?

Relationships · By what do you watch that broadly flowing energy doesn’t thin the strength to stay in one place in a relationship?
