辛酉

Sin-Yu day pillar

Yin Metal over the Rooster신유일주 · BaZi: Xin You

A polished jewel. Pure metal: a refined, exacting and proud nature with a sharp edge.

The picture

Sin-Yu is a finished gem. The Rooster is Yin Metal’s place of Prosperity and holds a single stem, the Day Master’s own. This pillar is elegant, precise and conscious of its worth. It has high standards and meets them. It can cut. It is a twin pillar, stem and branch the same element, and it carries the Red Peach Blossom in its own seat: the beauty is part of the pillar and so is the edge. Nothing in the Rooster softens or feeds it, so Sin-Yu relies on itself and expects the same of others.

The Day Master sits on its own element, in the same polarity. The seat is a root: a strong sense of self and a home life run on its own terms. The partner is read as an equal, sometimes as a rival.

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

Strengths

  • Refinement in every detail.
  • Precision that leaves nothing rough.
  • Self-respect that sets a standard.

What to watch

  • Perfectionism that is never satisfied.
  • Cutting words, exactly aimed.
  • Vanity about its own polish.

In relationships

Attractive and exacting, Sin-Yu wants a partner who values quality and can take honesty.

At work

Jewellery, beauty, finance, surgery, the arts and precise craft.

A day pillar is one of four. Two people born on a Sin-Yu 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 Sin-Yu day pillar mean?
Sin-Yu (辛酉) is Yin Metal over the Rooster: pure metal: a refined, exacting and proud nature with a sharp edge.
How do I know if Sin-Yu 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 辛酉, this is your pillar.
What is 辛酉 called in Chinese BaZi?
Xin You. It is the same pillar. Korean Saju reads the characters as Sin-Yu and calls it Sinyu ilju (신유일주); BaZi sources write Xin You in pinyin.
Which life stage and void branches go with Sin-Yu?
On its own seat the Day Master is at the Prosperity stage (建祿). The official’s salary: the Day Master in its own element at full strength. Independence and earning power. The void branches for this pillar are 子 Ja (Rat) and 丑 Chuk (Ox). The strength of the whole chart depends mostly on the birth month, not on this stage alone.
