Hard metal meeting fresh growth, decisive and impatient.
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 Yin day has Geng metal as their Day Master, sitting on the 寅 (wood) branch.
Personality
Geng metal is blunt and principled; the Tiger adds courage and drive. You move first and refine later, and you respect people who can take a direct answer.
Work and vocation
Founding, engineering, military, surgery, construction — action-oriented roles.
Relationships
Protective and honest. Deliver the truth with a little more warmth.
Health and rhythm
Tension in the tendons and jaw. Stretch and de-escalate deliberately.
