In BaZi, 庚 (gēng) is Yang Metal — raw ore, the axe, the sword before polishing. The element of decision: cutting through, standing firm, keeping one's word. Born on a 庚 day, your Day Master is the chart's edge.
The essence
You are raw metal — the axe, the sword, unrefined and strong. You cut straight to the point, act when others hesitate, and would rather be blunt than fake. Justice matters more to you than comfort.
Where you shine
- Decisive
- Fiercely loyal
- Courageous
- Cuts through nonsense
Your shadow side
- Blunt to the point of harm
- Impatient
- Rigid sense of right
- Acts before thinking
In love
You love with total loyalty and zero pretense — no games, no lies. But your honesty can draw blood, and you often say the true thing before the kind thing.
At work
The one who makes the hard call while everyone else is still debating. Reformer, fixer, protector. Sand down the edges before they cut the people you need.
Soulmate pairing
The sword wrapped in vines (乙庚合): The Vine teaches The Blade that not everything needs cutting — and the blade gives the vine something unbendable to climb. Softness, armed.
Your friction type
The forge fire melts raw metal (丙 is The Sun). Big, radiant personalities can soften your certainty — uncomfortable, but that's literally how ore becomes something useful.
How do I know if this is me?
Your MingType is your Day Master — the element of the day you were born, from the classical Chinese calendar. It is not your zodiac animal (that only uses your birth year). Enter your birthday and the test reads it from the old calendar in 60 seconds.
