In BaZi, the day pillar is the pillar of the self. Its heavenly stem is your Day Master — the reference point for every other character in the chart. A person born on a Geng Chen day has Geng metal as their Day Master, sitting on the 辰 (earth) branch.
Personality
Geng metal is decisive; the Dragon gives depth, patience and hidden resources. You can wait a long time and then act in one clean move. You dislike waste and perform better with a real problem.
Work and vocation
Engineering, logistics, finance, law, military or industrial roles.
Relationships
Loyal, direct, and slow to reveal the softer layer beneath the discipline.
Health and rhythm
Chest, lungs and joints. Cold and damp aggravate you; keep moving.
