性格Geng Metal personality

事业Career and money
Geng Metal suits roles that need courage and decisions: management, law, the military and police, engineering, surgery, sports, finance and turnaround work. It does best with clear goals and the authority to act.
感情Love and relationships
Geng is protective and straightforward in love and values loyalty above everything. It grows by showing tenderness more often than it thinks it needs to. In classical BaZi, Geng combines with Yi Wood (庚乙合), a pairing traditionally read as natural attraction.
强弱Strong or gentle Geng Metal: your balancing element
Every Geng Metal chart is different, because the other seven characters decide how strong your Day Master is. A strong Metal Day Master, with plenty of Metal and Earth around it, is balanced by elements that channel its energy: Water (Output), Wood (Wealth) and Fire (Power). A gentle Metal Day Master needs the opposite: Earth (Resource) to nourish it and Metal (Companions) to back it up. Metal is strongest in autumn, so the month you were born in carries the most weight. This is why two people with the same Day Master can need opposite elements.
