The shape of you

You are The Metal () 庚. Born in the spring of April, 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.

How you sit

Your 庚 sits on 寅 (the Tiger ()) - 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).

The season that forges you

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.

Your three pillars in conversation

The loudest conversation in your chart is between your day and your month: 三会 (a direction) with 甲辰 - two parts of the same Wood direction - you face the same way, a strong same-season pull.

What you carry

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.

What a date can and cannot tell you. A date fixes three of your four pillars - your Day Master and the season that forges it. The fourth pillar, your birth hour, sets your inner world and how the story ends. Add your time for the full living chart.

This is your date-level reading. Add your birth time and your full living chart opens — your inner world, your later chapters, and how the story ends.
