庚辰 Geng Chen Day Pillar: The rocky mountain where the dragon lives

By Data Saju · Published October 3, 2026 · Updated November 5, 2026

Geng Chen is hard metal (庚) on moist earth (辰). 辰 is the Dragon, and this is a Kui Gang pillar of great spirit and intensity.

At a glance

Personality

Decisive and charismatic; once you make up your mind you see it through. The Kui Gang makes leadership stand out and you are strong in a crisis. Sitting on an Indirect Resource, you think strategically and see things differently. The Nurture stage means you also grow with others' help more than it seems.

Love and partner

With an Indirect Resource in the spouse palace, you want someone who understands your inner world. Kui Gang energy makes you want to lead in love too. Direct Wealth (乙) in 辰 means that, however gruff, you feel strongly responsible for your spouse.

Work and money

Work with big decisions and responsibility suits you: the military or police, law, management, strategy, technology. Your ability shows when you are handling a crisis. You can earn big, but with ups and downs, so management is needed.

Cautions and advice

Your judgment can swing to extremes. Hearing one opposing view before deciding makes the Kui Gang's power shine. Strong words invite misunderstanding, so soften them once before speaking.

Day pillars that click, and day pillars that clash

Stems and branches both combine: 乙酉 Yi You. With a stem combination and a Six Harmony at once (天合地合), these pairs are drawn to each other and mesh naturally.

Stems and branches both clash: 甲戌 Jia Xu, 丙戌 Bing Xu. The branches clash and the stems collide too, so methods and pace differ and tension arises easily — though such pairs can also spur each other to grow.

Real compatibility looks at both whole charts, each person's useful element and the luck you go through together, not one day pillar. See how compatibility works.

When does a Geng Chen day come around?

Day pillars run in a sixty-day cycle. From October 2026 to the end of 2027, 庚辰 Geng Chen days fall 14 times: Mon, Nov 2, 2026; Fri, Jan 1, 2027; Tue, Mar 2, 2027; Sat, May 1, 2027; Wed, Jun 30, 2027; Sun, Aug 29, 2027; Thu, Oct 28, 2027; Mon, Dec 27, 2027; Fri, Feb 25, 2028; Tue, Apr 25, 2028; Sat, Jun 24, 2028; Wed, Aug 23, 2028; Sun, Oct 22, 2028; Thu, Dec 21, 2028 (by the local calendar date). A day that repeats your own day pillar is read as a day when your Day Master is strong — some use it to start something important or to take stock.

What 2026 and 2027 mean for a Geng Chen day pillar

• 2026, the 丙午 Bing Wu year: the stem 丙 is your Seven Killings and the branch 午 is your Direct Officer, so it is a year when responsibility and being evaluated weigh more. No combination or clash with your day branch, so the year runs fairly calmly.
• 2027, the 丁未 Ding Wei year: the stem 丁 is your Direct Officer and the branch 未 is your Direct Resource, so it is a year when responsibility and being evaluated weigh more. No combination or clash with your day branch, so the year runs fairly calmly.

2027 month by month

Saju months change at the solar terms, not on the 1st. For a Geng Chen day pillar we calculated the ten god of each month's stem and how the month's branch meets your day branch. Months that combine with your day branch: August (戊申), September (己酉), December (壬子). The month that clashes with it: October (庚戌).

Zodiac signs that suit Geng Chen, and signs that clash

Counting from the day branch 辰, the Rat (子), Monkey (申), Rooster (酉) form a Six or Three Harmony and are read as easy matches; the Dog (戌) clashes with it, so pace and style differ. A zodiac sign is only the other person's year branch, so real compatibility needs both whole charts.

A day pillar is two of the eight characters in a chart, so the same day pillar reads quite differently depending on the year, month and hour of birth.
