Geng Wu · 庚午
Geng Wu pairs a Yang Metal Day Master with 午 (the Horse), a Fire branch. If this is your day pillar, the pairing below describes tendencies worth observing — not a verdict.
The Day Master on top
Yang Metal · 庚 — The classical image for 庚 is raw metal — the axe, the ore: force that resolves things by cutting. A Yang Metal Day Master tends to prefer the decisive version of any question: keep or drop, yes or no, now or never.

In a day pillar, the branch is read as the spouse palace: the texture of close partnership. 午 (the Horse) carries these hidden stems, each read as a relationship between that stem and your Day Master:
丁
Authority
Authority with structure — rules, reputation, duty, and roles that hold you accountable.
己
Direct Resource
Direct resource — care, credentials, protection, and knowledge that steadies the self.
Na Yin
The Na Yin of Geng Wu is 路旁土 — "Roadside Earth". Na Yin is a poetic sixty-fold naming of the pillars, used as a secondary texture rather than a primary verdict.
Stage of the cycle
Bathing — Vulnerable openness — early energy, exposed and still forming.
Void branches (Xun Kong)
Charts anchored on 庚午 treat 戌亥 as "void" — branches whose signals are read as weakened or delayed rather than absent.
Is Geng Wu actually your day pillar?
The day pillar comes from your exact birth date — and near midnight, from true solar time. Calculate it instead of guessing.
As with everything on Truenoon, this page describes observable tendencies, not a verdict on who you are.
