Friday · Yang Wood Dog year · Yang Fire Rat month · 庚寅 day
You are The Metal (金) 庚. Born in the early winter of December, your 庚 Metal leans yielding - and the season leaves this finely balanced, so read it as a leaning the rest of your chart settles, not a fixed fact. The hour you were born decides which way it tips. Yang Metal, the axe and the ore: decisive, strong, cuts to the point; the executor, can be blunt or hard. As an element, Metal (金) is structure and clarity: discipline, refinement, the cut that sets a standard.
Your 庚 sits on 寅 (the Tiger (虎)) - in the twelve-stage cycle this is 绝 (Extinction): Extinction - dissolution of old patterns. The Tiger (Yang Wood, early spring): the first push of the year - courage, initiative, energy waking. Underneath, seated in your inner palace, is Indirect Wealth (偏财) (via hidden 甲) - money in motion: windfalls, opportunity, generous flow; the deal-maker's wealth. Beneath that sit 七杀 (丙) and 偏印 (戊).
What this chart reaches for is Earth (土). Whether you already carry it is the rest of your chart - the season sets the need, not the answer. What helps you: Earth, Fire. What works against you: Wood, Water.
The loudest conversation in your chart is between your day and your year: 三合 (a trine) with 甲戌 - two parts of one Fire triad - you pull the same way, naturally aligned toward a shared aim.
The channel that runs strongest through your stems and hidden stems is 偏财 - money in motion: windfalls, opportunity, generous flow; the deal-maker's wealth. Your day-pillar nayin is Pine-Cypress Wood (松柏木) - the evergreen pine - endurance and principle, holds through winter.
Your Day Pillar — the one that defines who you actually are — needs your exact birthday.
