Yin Water Rooster · 剑锋金 (The Sword)
Yin Water is the dew — subtle, nourishing, appearing where conditions are right. Quiet influence.
Water is produced by the Rooster's Metal. Precision feeding depth. The Rooster's exactness dissolves into something fluid and far-reaching.
Every Earthly Branch contains hidden elements beneath the surface. The Rooster's branch (酉) carries: 辛 Metal. These hidden stems influence how the year's energy expresses — they're the undercurrent beneath the visible pillar.
The Sword — metal at its sharpest. No ambiguity. Decisive, direct, impossible to ignore. The question is always what it's pointed at.
The Nayin is the "sound-element" of this position in the 60-year cycle. It's a second layer of elemental identity — not what the stem says you are, but what the combination of stem and branch sounds like when they resonate together. Read more about The Sword →
Your year pillar is what you share with every person born in 1993. It describes your generation, not you. To see what makes your chart yours, you need three more pillars — and the most important one, your Day Pillar, requires your exact birthday.
Start with your month. A Rooster born in January carries different energy than one born in July.
Your Day Pillar — the one that defines who you actually are — needs your exact birthday.
