Sin-Sa (辛巳) day pillar — meaning in Korean Saju
A cut jewel under the late-spring sun.
Sin-Sa (辛巳) is the day pillar of Yin Metal — The Jewel — sitting on the Snake. Element mix: Metal (辛) + Fire (巳).
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 Snake
Snake (巳) under you is hidden fire: sharp, strategic, warm once trust is earned. Snake is a 'traveling horse' branch — your life tends to include moves, trips and changes.
How they mix
The branch beneath you controls your stem: you grew up with pressure or responsibility, and it made you disciplined. You respect rules and status — just don't let pressure become your whole identity.
★ Traveling Horse (驛馬) branch: movement, travel and change. You do well abroad, on the road or with a job that moves.
