What is fixed inside 庚辰
White-wax metal
White-wax metal names a stage of metal still associated with ore and refinement, not a candle made of wax. Read with a day pillar, its image is potential acquiring a clearer form through a process of separation and shaping. The emphasis falls on what is becoming identifiable, with an unfinished surface leaving room for further definition.

庚辰 as a day pillar
Geng’s traditional Metal is strong and responsive to shaping. The Day Master image can describe resolve, clear distinctions and a preference for meeting a problem directly. Refinement matters as much as force: the interpretive question is how determination becomes purposeful action. Fire and Water give the classical discussion different ways of describing that shaping and expression.
庚 above 辰
Earth generates Metal, so the branch phase feeds the visible stem. The day branch holds Wu 戊 (Indirect Resource), Yi 乙 (Direct Wealth), Gui 癸 (Hurting Officer) relative to this Day Master.
