Im-Sin (壬申) day pillar — meaning in Korean Saju
The open ocean in an early autumn breeze.
Im-Sin (壬申) is the day pillar of Yang Water — The Ocean — sitting on the Monkey. Element mix: Water (壬) + Metal (申).
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 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
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.
★ Traveling Horse (驛馬) branch: movement, travel and change. You do well abroad, on the road or with a job that moves.
