辛 Xin Metal Day Master: the Jewel
Xin Metal is the jewel and refined gold: precise, elegant and valuable. A Xin Day Master has high standards, a fine aesthetic sense and quiet self-respect. In saju, the heavenly stem of your birth day — the Day Master — represents you. If your day pillar starts with 辛 (Xin, Sin in Korean), this page is about you.

Love and relationships
Selective and romantic, you value respect and care in the details. A partner who appreciates your shine, and polishes it kindly, suits you. In a saju chart, the spouse star for a Xin Metal Day Master is Wood (Wealth) for men and Fire (Officer) for women. The 丙 Bing (Yang Fire) 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.
