Gyeong-Jin day pillar

Yang Metal over the Dragon경진일주 · BaZi: Geng Chen

A sword kept in a dragon’s hoard. A commanding, intelligent nature with large ambitions and strict standards.

The picture

Gyeong-Jin is metal lying in rich, wet earth. The Dragon’s Earth produces Yang Metal, so the blade is well supplied and waiting for its use. This is one of the four Kui Gang pillars: bold, capable and uncompromising. Gyeong-Jin thinks on a large scale and holds itself and others to a hard standard. It tends toward all or nothing.

The Day Master sits on the element that produces it, in the same polarity. Support is there and comes in its own way: a private inner life, unusual interests, and a partner who is more mentor than companion.

These are the facts every Gyeong-Jin chart shares, whatever the other three pillars hold. They are taken from the same engine that calculates your chart.

Strengths

  • Natural command of a room.
  • Strategic thinking on a large scale.
  • Resilience after setbacks that would stop others.

What to watch

  • Severity toward weakness, its own included.
  • All-or-nothing decisions.
  • Pride that will not ask for help.

In relationships

A strong character that needs a partner of equal strength. Gyeong-Jin respects those who stand their ground and is gentler in private than it lets on.

At work

The military, law, engineering, finance and leadership of any kind.

A day pillar is one of four. Two people born on a Gyeong-Jin day in different months and hours have different charts: the season decides how strong the Day Master is, and the other pillars add their own ten gods and interactions. Read this page as the starting point, then look at the whole chart.

Questions people ask

What does the Gyeong-Jin day pillar mean?
Gyeong-Jin (庚辰) is Yang Metal over the Dragon: a commanding, intelligent nature with large ambitions and strict standards.
How do I know if Gyeong-Jin is my day pillar?
The day pillar comes from a sixty-day cycle and from true solar time at your birthplace, so it cannot be worked out from your birth year or zodiac animal. Calculate your chart: if the Day column shows 庚辰, this is your pillar.
What is 庚辰 called in Chinese BaZi?
Geng Chen. It is the same pillar. Korean Saju reads the characters as Gyeong-Jin and calls it Gyeongjin ilju (경진일주); BaZi sources write Geng Chen in pinyin.
Which life stage and void branches go with Gyeong-Jin?
On its own seat the Day Master is at the Nurture stage (養). Gestation: being cared for, preparing, growing quietly toward Birth. The void branches for this pillar are 申 Sin (Monkey) and 酉 Yu (Rooster). The strength of the whole chart depends mostly on the birth month, not on this stage alone.
