Gyeong-In (庚寅) day pillar — meaning in Korean Saju
A forged blade at the edge of a spring forest at dawn.
Gyeong-In (庚寅) is the day pillar of Yang Metal — The Sword — sitting on the Tiger. Element mix: Metal (庚) + Wood (寅).
Your core: Yang Metal · The Sword
Clear, brave and fair. You say what others only think, and you fight for what's right. Your challenge: a sword cuts both ways — your honesty can hurt the people you love.
What you sit on: the Tiger
Tiger (寅) under you is spring wood with fire hidden inside: restless energy, courage and a need to move. You fall for people who have their own big plans.
How they mix
Your stem controls the branch beneath it: you like to manage, earn and make things happen. Money and practical results matter to you, and you can be demanding with yourself and your partner.
★ Traveling Horse (驛馬) branch: movement, travel and change. You do well abroad, on the road or with a job that moves.
