Basic qualities of the 庚申 type

Picture pure steel shining in cool air on an early-autumn evening. This image suggests initiative and decisiveness, with a wish to open your own path. An independent spirit may prefer choosing and acting over being told what to do. Honesty and a direct manner are central themes. Meeting a challenge can also be a setting in which resilience develops.

Love and marriage

You may meet a partner directly and openly. If words tend to become sharp, choosing a gentler expression can help your intention reach them more clearly.

2027 for the 庚申 type: the Ding-Wei year

With a new method, keeping one criterion can give you a point to return to at the next change. In a role you accept, separating suggested ideas from agreed ones may lead beyond more ideas to one concrete trial.

Work and talents

Ideas for your next step

Strength can make room for a little warmth. A smile may give people around you an easier way to approach.

When you feel tired, consider spending time A hill with clear air, or a simply arranged room. It may help you reconnect with the symbolic quality of Steel at your roots.

+How was this reading created?

The birth day's pair, or Day Pillar, combines Heavenly Stem Geng (庚) with Earthly Branch Shen (Monkey). Heavenly Stem Geng (庚), as the Day Stem, symbolizes personal qualities (About Geng (庚)), and the Earthly BranchShen (Monkey)isAround August・15:00–17:00with the main hidden stemGeng (庚).

The Branch's hidden stems in relation to the Day Stem are Peer (Independence and identity), and the twelve-stage phase is Maturity: Jianlu phase (The grounded effort of an adult taking an independent place in the world). Its Nayin is Pomegranate Wood, and the Void Branches, also called Tenchusatsu, for its ten-pair group are 子丑. Here, Void Branches are read as a symbolic reminder to pause and reset; they need not be a source of fear.

This method changes the day at midnight. For births during the 23:00 hour, some schools instead use the following day's pair.
