Gyeongsin (庚申) day pillar
Metal on metal: decisiveness and loyalty
What the Gyeongsin day pillar is like
Gyeongsin sets raw iron (庚) over autumn metal (申). Metal above and below make a same-element pillar, with Friend (비견) in the day branch and Prime (건록) as its stage. Hard metal doubled: it is read as decisive and as putting great weight on loyalty.
Hidden in 申 are 壬 as Eating God (식신) and 戊 as Indirect Resource (편인): drive to act and unusual ideas together. It moves without hesitation on what it believes is right and finishes what it takes on. Its words are short and clear.
Metal striking metal rings loudly, and friction with equally strong people is likely. Knowing when to choose going together over winning matters.
The Gyeongsin ilju (day pillar), character by character
Number 57 of the sixty-pillar cycle. The table shows what Halmeoni's calendar engine computes for this pillar.
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Top character (day master) | 庚 — rock or raw iron (yang metal) |
| Bottom character (day branch) | 申 — Monkey · metal · early autumn (about August) |
| Yin-yang | yang (both characters) |
| Elements | metal above, metal below |
| How the two relate | The same element above and below, so that element's nature shows plainly. |
| Hidden stems (ten gods) | 戊 Indirect Resource (편인), 壬 Eating God (식신), 庚 Friend (비견) |
| Ten god of the day branch | Friend (비견) — people on your level: friends, siblings, peers; your pride |
| Twelve stages | Prime (건록) — standing on your own: steady strength |
| Void branches (공망) | 子, 丑 — an empty spot: what is hard to hold on to |
Hidden stems are the forces tucked inside the bottom character; the last one listed is the strongest. Ten gods describe each character as seen from the top character, the day master, so the same bottom character gets a different name under a different day master. The void branches are the two that have no partner in this pillar's ten-day week; they only matter when they appear elsewhere in a chart.
A day pillar is only two of the eight characters in a chart. People who share it can read very differently once the year, month and hour are added, so take this as entertainment, not as a verdict on who you are.
