庚戌 Geng Xu Day Pillar: An autumn mountain holding iron

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

Geng Xu is hard metal (庚) on the dry autumn mountain (戌). A Kui Gang pillar, it has a will and spirit like steel.

At a glance

Personality

Strong-willed and decisive; you shine in a crisis. The Kui Gang makes leadership and charisma stand out. Sitting on an Indirect Resource, you think strategically, and a Direct Officer (丁) in 戌 makes principle and honour important to you. The Decline stage gives seasoned judgment.

Love and partner

With an Indirect Resource in the spouse palace, you want someone who understands your world. Kui Gang energy makes you want to lead in love too. Women hold a Direct Officer (丁) in 戌, so a principled spouse matters to them.

Work and money

Work that needs strong decisions and responsibility suits you: the military or police, law, management, strategy, technology. Money has ups and downs, so steady management is needed.

Cautions and advice

Your judgment can swing to extremes. The habit of hearing one other opinion makes the Kui Gang's power shine. Dry earth and metal need the ease to let things flow softly, like Water.

Day pillars that click, and day pillars that clash

Stems and branches both combine: 乙卯 Yi Mao. 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: 甲辰 Jia Chen, 丙辰 Bing Chen. 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 Xu day come around?

Day pillars run in a sixty-day cycle. From October 2026 to the end of 2027, 庚戌 Geng Xu days fall 13 times: Wed, Dec 2, 2026; Sun, Jan 31, 2027; Thu, Apr 1, 2027; Mon, May 31, 2027; Fri, Jul 30, 2027; Tue, Sep 28, 2027; Sat, Nov 27, 2027; Wed, Jan 26, 2028; Sun, Mar 26, 2028; Thu, May 25, 2028; Mon, Jul 24, 2028; Fri, Sep 22, 2028; Tue, Nov 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 Xu 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. With your day branch: Three Harmony with your day branch — allies gather and strength builds.
• 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. With your day branch: Punishment — things to adjust and refine; Break — a plan may go off course once.

2027 month by month

Saju months change at the solar terms, not on the 1st. For a Geng Xu 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: February (壬寅), March (癸卯), June (丙午). The month that clashes with it: April (甲辰).

Zodiac signs that suit Geng Xu, and signs that clash

Counting from the day branch 戌, the Tiger (寅), Rabbit (卯), Horse (午) form a Six or Three Harmony and are read as easy matches; the Dragon (辰) 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.
