Yang Wood × Yin Metal —
A forging match
They shape you (상극) — as an axe shapes a tree. Their Metal shapes your Wood. Uncomfortable moments, and — used well — a relationship that tempers you both.
First impression
Their energy shapes yours. Beside them you feel tense and corrected, yet looking back you find yourself more precise because of them. A test and a teacher at once.
Yin meets yang here, so two different grains complete one picture — the difference itself is the attraction.
They are Direct Officer to you Zheng Guan · Authority
They are Direct Officer to you — the one who stands you up straight. They wake duty and rules naturally, and you feel more grown-up with them. The pair that builds a stable frame.
You are Direct Wealth to them Zheng Cai · Wealth
You are Direct Wealth to them — the one who firms up their days. To them you are stability and reality.
In love
Easily becomes them leading and correcting you. If you feel respected, it is a love that grows you; if you feel controlled, it is one that drains you. Naming your own territory protects it.
At work and in partnership
The strict boss, the demanding client. Hard, but your skill grows fastest under this person. Once you have learned what there is to learn, prepare your independence.
To make it last
Do not hear correction as attack. They are not cutting you down but shaping you — and if the hand is rough, say so.
The Day Branch changes the reading
Day Master compatibility is the first line of the reading. Whether your Day Branches harmonize or clash, and whether you fill each other's missing elements, can move the same Yang Wood–Yin Metal pairing a long way. Two birth dates on the match page add the score, the Ten Gods between you and your best shared days. The six Yang Wood pillars are in the 60 Day Pillars.
