Yin Metal × Yang Wood —
A forging match
You shape them (상극) — as an axe shapes a tree. Your Metal shapes their Wood. Uncomfortable moments, and — used well — a relationship that tempers you both.
First impression
Your energy shapes theirs. Without meaning to, you edit and correct them, and they tense up in front of you. Used with respect it becomes structure; as a habit it becomes criticism.
Yin meets yang here, so two different grains complete one picture — the difference itself is the attraction.
They are Direct Wealth to you Zheng Cai · Wealth
They are Direct Wealth to you — the one who firms up your daily life. Thrifty and realistic, they put your life in order. Not flashy, but the partnership that keeps a household.
You are Direct Officer to them Zheng Guan · Authority
You are Direct Officer to them — the one who stands them up straight. To them you are rule, duty and a frame they can trust.
In love
Easily becomes you leading and them adjusting — reassuring at first, then stifling. Swallow two of every three urges to correct and this relationship deepens instead.
At work and in partnership
Results come with you directing and them executing. They become more precise under your standard but lose autonomy. Ask for outcomes and leave the method to them.
To make it last
A shaping hand must be gentle. Cut only along the grain that makes them more themselves.
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 Yin Metal–Yang Wood 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 Yin Metal pillars are in the 60 Day Pillars.
