If your BaZi Day Master is Yang Metal (庚),

pressure and fire.

What is Yang Metal (庚)?
Yang Metal (庚), pronounced “Gēng” in
Chinese, is the seventh of the Ten
Heavenly Stems. It belongs to the Metal

The symbolic image of Yang Metal is a
sword, axe, or raw ore — powerful,
unrefined, and forged through intense
pressure. Just like metal that must be
heated and hammered to reach its full
potential, Yang Metal people often grow
strongest through adversity.
