Sin-Chuk (辛丑) day pillar — meaning in Korean Saju
A cut jewel in a quiet winter field.
Sin-Chuk (辛丑) is the day pillar of Yin Metal — The Jewel — sitting on the Ox. Element mix: Metal (辛) + Earth (丑).
Your core: Yin Metal · The Jewel
Refined, sharp and quietly brilliant. You have taste, standards and a sparkle people remember. Your challenge: a jewel feels every scratch — criticism stays with you longer than it should.
What you sit on: the Ox
Ox (丑) under you is cold, patient earth: you work slowly but you finish. Inside you are more stubborn and more emotional than you show. In love you look for loyalty over excitement.
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.
★ Canopy (華蓋) branch: art, study and spirituality. You need time alone to recharge and often have a talent others discover late.
