What Yang Metal is like in BaZi
庚 is imagined as raw ore, an axe, or a sword. Geng charts are often described as direct and action-oriented, with a strong sense of fairness and a willingness to cut through hesitation.
Common strengths
- Decisiveness
- Loyalty
- Courage under pressure
Common blind spots
- Bluntness
- Black-and-white judgment
- Needing to win the argument
What this Day Master tends to need
Readings often look for Fire to refine the metal and Water to let its edge express itself.
A Day Master's needs depend on season and on the rest of the chart, so two people with the same Day Master can need different things.
Key relationships
Geng combines with 乙 Yi (Yin Wood). Its output is Water, its wealth is Wood, its pressure comes from Fire, and its support comes from Earth.
