Gyeong-Sin (庚申) day pillar — meaning in Korean Saju
A forged blade in an early autumn breeze.
Gyeong-Sin (庚申) is the day pillar of Yang Metal — The Sword — sitting on the Monkey. Element mix: Metal (庚) + Metal (申).
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 Monkey
Monkey (申) under you is moving metal: clever, practical and quick. Monkey is a 'traveling horse' branch — you do well with change, travel and many projects.
How they mix
You sit on your own element. That makes you self-reliant and hard to push around — you trust your own judgment first. The lesson is learning to let others help.
★ Traveling Horse (驛馬) branch: movement, travel and change. You do well abroad, on the road or with a job that moves.
