Im-In (壬寅) day pillar — meaning in Korean Saju
The open ocean at the edge of a spring forest at dawn.
Im-In (壬寅) is the day pillar of Yang Water — The Ocean — sitting on the Tiger. Element mix: Water (壬) + Wood (寅).
Your core: Yang Water · The Ocean
Big ideas, big heart, big horizon. You're curious, clever and hate being held in a small glass. Your challenge: the ocean never stops moving — finishing is harder than starting.
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 feeds the branch beneath it: energy flows out of you as talent, words and creativity. You express yourself easily, but you can give away more energy than you keep.
★ Traveling Horse (驛馬) branch: movement, travel and change. You do well abroad, on the road or with a job that moves.
- Sound element (納音)

- 戊 Mu (Challenger), 丙 Byeong (Windfall), 甲 Gap (Creator)
