Sin-Yu (辛酉) day pillar — meaning in Korean Saju
A cut jewel in a clear autumn sunset.
Sin-Yu (辛酉) is the day pillar of Yin Metal — The Jewel — sitting on the Rooster. Element mix: Metal (辛) + Metal (酉).
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 Rooster
Rooster (酉) under you is pure Metal: precise, stylish and principled. Rooster is a 'peach blossom' branch — people find you elegant, and you notice every detail of them.
How they mix
You sit on your own element. That makes you self-reliant and hard to push around — you trust your own judgment first. The lesson is learning to let others help.
★ Peach Blossom (桃花) branch: charm, popularity and attraction. Great for anyone who works with people, art or social media.
