庚 Geng Metal Day Master: Raw Iron and the Blade
Geng Metal is ore, rock and the axe: strong, decisive and just. A Geng Day Master acts quickly, speaks directly and stands up for what is right. In saju, the heavenly stem of your birth day — the Day Master — represents you. If your day pillar starts with 庚 (Geng, Gyeong in Korean), this page is about you.

Love and relationships
Protective and loyal, you love through action. A partner who is not afraid of your directness — and helps you soften — suits you. In a saju chart, the spouse star for a Geng Metal Day Master is Wood (Wealth) for men and Fire (Officer) for women. The 乙 Yi (Yin Wood) Day Master, your combining partner, tends to feel a natural pull toward you.
How your birth season changes you
The same Day Master behaves differently depending on the season (month branch) of birth.
| Spring February – April | The season is something you work on: busy with results, money and practical goals. |
|---|---|
| Summer May – July | The season presses on you, so you grow through discipline and pressure. Find allies and protect your rest. |
| Autumn August – October | Born in its own season, the Day Master is strong and self-reliant. The task is to express and share that strength rather than hold on to it. |
| Winter November – January | You pour your energy into the season — expressive and productive, but watch your stamina. |
Saju months follow the solar terms, and the last month of each season (Chen, Wei, Xu, Chou) carries Earth energy too.
