The picture
Im-Sin is water at its source. The Monkey’s Metal produces Yang Water, so the river is constantly renewed. This pillar is intelligent, well informed and strategic. It finds a way around obstacles more often than through them, and it is rarely without an idea. The same flow makes it restless: it does not like to stay where it is.
What the pillar is made of
| Part | In Im-Sin |
|---|---|
| Day Master | 壬 Im, Yang Water |
| Day branch | 申 Sin, the Monkey |
| Hidden stems | 戊 Mu: Seven Killings壬 Im: Friend庚 Gyeong: Indirect Resource (main) |
| Life stage | Birth 長生 |
| Void branches | 戌 Sul (Dog), 亥 Hae (Pig) |
| Stars it carries | Literacy Star, Hyeonchim |
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 Im-Sin chart shares, whatever the other three pillars hold. They are taken from the same engine that calculates your chart.
