Xin Wei Day Pillar 辛未

The Day Pillar is the two characters of the day you were born: a Heavenly Stem on top (your Day Master, the “you” of a Saju chart) and an Earthly Branch below (your inner self and spouse palace). In Xin Wei (辛未), the Day Master is Xin Metal (a finely cut jewel) sitting on the Goat branch, whose element is Earth.

You sit on the earth that gives you life (Indirect Resource), delicate, affectionate and stubborn. With artistic sensibility and a need for emotional stability, you are quietly proud.

Xin Metal is delicate and values polish, like a well-cut jewel. You have a strong aesthetic sense and a sharp eye that misses no detail. Proud and disciplined, you often give an impression of refinement. You can be sensitive and vulnerable to stress, so it helps to find your own ways to calm your mind.

What makes Xin Wei different from the other five Xin Metal Day Pillars is the branch it sits on, covered below.

With Wei beneath your Day Master, you are tender-hearted, affectionate and quietly stubborn. There is warm earth energy in your spouse seat, so you have deep ties with generous, caring people. The wish to be understood without speaking is the seed of hurt, so put what you need into words.

The energy of unusual insight (Indirect Resource) sits in your spouse seat, so you are drawn to distinctive, spiritually deep partners. You need to respect each other’s worlds while widening the points of conversation.

Xin Metal loves in a refined, delicate way. You remember your partner’s tastes and details and show sensory consideration, but pride means it takes time to approach first or apologize. Put the relationship before pride.

Indirect Resource here means: Indirect Resource (Pian Yin) stands for original thinking and unusual intuition. You have the insight to catch what others miss and often stand out in specialized and unusual fields. But you may think a lot, become indecisive, or fall into a world of your own, so adding the ability to turn thoughts into action leads to good results.

Decline (Shuai): the energy of passing the peak and finding stability. Experienced and calm, with the strength to build substance without overreaching.

Hidden inside the Goat branch: Ding (Fire, 9 days), Yi (Wood, 3 days), Ji (Earth, 18 days). These quieter energies show up in private, under stress or later in life.

Areas to look after: lungs, large intestine, bronchi, skin and nose.

Too much Metal energy dries the airways and skin, and feelings can turn dry and edgy. Fluids, humidity, soft food and warm conversation restore balance.

Too little Metal energy leaves bronchi and skin weak and prone to colds in changing seasons. Look after breathing exercises, clean air and regular bowel habits.

• Six Harmony: the Goat pairs with the Horse. People with a Horse Day Branch often feel an easy pull toward you.
• Three Harmony: the Rabbit · Goat · Pig form a Wood team, so those animals tend to bring out your best.
• Clash: the Goat clashes with the Ox. It is not doom, only a spot where friction and change come easily.
• Perfect match on stem and branch: Bing Wu (丙午) combines with Xin Wei on both the stem and the branch.
• Opposite pillar (most friction): Ding Chou (丁丑): its stem is Seven Killings to you and its branch clashes with yours.
