Day Master 57 of 60 · 金金
庚申 Day Master
Gēng / Yang Metal (The Raw Iron / Sword) seated on Monkey — one of the sixty Day Pillars a real birth chart can land on.
Your Day Master stem · 日主
庚 — Gēng / Yang Metal
The Raw Iron / Sword: a yang expression of Metal (金). In BaZi, the Day Master is read as the self at the centre of the chart — every other pillar is described in relation to it.
Self-seated strength · 自坐
Prosperous (旺)
Seated directly on 申 (Monkey), Metal is at its seasonal peak — vigorous and self-sufficient. This is only the Day Master's relationship to its own seat — the month branch usually carries more weight in a full strength verdict, which is why a real chart (not this page) is what actually tells you whether 庚申 runs strong, weak, or balanced.
Hidden stems in the seat · 藏干
What 申 carries beneath the surface
Every Earthly Branch hides one to three Heavenly Stems. Relative to a 庚申 Day Master, 申's hidden stems read as:
- 庚 (main qi)比肩 bǐ jiān — Friend / Peer
- 壬 (residual qi)食神 shí shén — Eating God
- 戊 (residual qi)偏印 piān yìn — Indirect Resource
Your Day Branch · 金申
Monkey (申)
Monkeys are problem-solvers with restless, brilliant minds. Quick to learn and quicker to adapt, they can talk or build their way out of almost anything.
Is 庚申 actually your Day Master?
Your Day Pillar depends on your exact birth date — and, near midnight, your birth time and city too. Enter your details and the deterministic engine will tell you for certain.
