Gyeong-Sul (庚戌) day pillar — meaning in Korean Saju
A forged blade on a dry autumn hill.
Gyeong-Sul (庚戌) is the day pillar of Yang Metal — The Sword — sitting on the Dog. Element mix: Metal (庚) + Earth (戌).
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 Dog
Dog (戌) under you is dry earth that keeps fire inside: loyal, protective, a strong sense of right and wrong. You trust slowly and then completely.
How they mix
The branch beneath you feeds your stem: you have a natural support system — family, mentors, intuition. You recover well from setbacks, but you can wait for help instead of moving first.
★ Goegang (魁罡) star: this is one of the 'leader' day pillars in Korean Saju. People with it are described as strong-willed, independent and hard to defeat — at their best as bosses, specialists or founders.
★ Canopy (華蓋) branch: art, study and spirituality. You need time alone to recharge and often have a talent others discover late.
