Gapsin Day Pillar (甲申) — A pine rooted in a rocky cliff

What kind of person is the 갑신 Day Pillar?

The Gapsin Day Pillar is the image of a great tree (Gap Wood) rooted on hard rock (Sin Metal), a pine on a cliff. The Day Branch, Sin Metal, is Seven Killings (偏官) to Gap Wood, so your judgment gets faster in a crisis than in ordinary times. In organizations, you become the person sent into the department where the problem has blown up.

The Twelve Life Stage is Extinction (絶), so you go through several periods when the direction of your life bends sharply, and you change career paths and workplaces more often than most. Im Water (Indirect Resource) hides within Sin Metal, so the flow runs from metal producing water to water growing wood: after you endure pressure, a credential or expertise remains. Sin Metal is a Traveling Horse branch, so moves are frequent.

Your weakness is tension. Even on days off you cannot cut off work messages. Set a time to turn your phone off. With Seven Killings in the spouse palace, your spouse is strict and exacting, and after marriage your daily habits and the way you handle work change under your spouse's criticism. You suit the military and police, law, medicine, public service and technical fields.

Day Master Gap (甲) — The person who grows straight and tall like a great tree

Gap Wood (甲木) means a great tree growing straight toward the sky. You push in the direction you have set, and when the field is empty you plant your flag first. You are the kind who holds out and breaks rather than bends.

What is love like for the 갑신 Day Pillar?

When a friend is in trouble, you offer solutions before comfort. 'I'll look into it' is your catchphrase, and you actually do. Once you decide someone is your person, it lasts a long time. In romance you try to decide everything from date plans to your partner's career path, and you hear 'Don't I get a say?'. When what your partner wants is to be heard rather than fixed, you cannot read the difference and you fight.

One-line advice

Practice keeping the goal and changing only the route. When you make a plan, write down from the start a second path, 'if this is blocked, I go this way', and you will not snap. Push back on a superior's instruction a day later, not on the spot. In romance, before offering a solution, ask first: 'Do you want advice, or do you want me to listen?'
