Metal feeds Water
Metal feeds Water in the five-element cycle, so 庚 tends to give and 壬 tends to receive. 庚 often brings support and ideas, and 壬 brings warmth and results. Making sure the giving goes both ways keeps it balanced.
Both stems are yang: two outgoing, direct styles. Things move fast, and both of you like to decide.

If you are one of them
If you are Yang Metal and your partner is Yang Water
The element that represents you (Day Master) is metal, and your partner's is water. In saju's generating cycle (相生, where one element feeds the next), metal produces water, like cool stone gathering dew. You naturally support your partner with clarity, structure and quiet strength, which helps their ideas and feelings flow. In return, your partner may soften your edges and bring emotional depth into your life. Picture a mountain spring flowing from rock. Be careful not to give only in the form of advice or solutions. Sometimes your partner simply needs your presence. Ask what kind of support they want tonight, and let their answer guide you.
If you are Yang Water and your partner is Yang Metal
Metal feeds water in saju, and that is the heart of your pairing. You are water and your partner is metal, according to the core element in each of your charts. Likely your partner is the steady, principled presence who helps you feel grounded, while you bring depth, empathy and flexibility that make their life richer. Think of cool, clear water drawn from a silver well. The thing to guard against is leaning on your partner's structure without offering your own strengths back. Use your intuition to notice when they are stressed and offer comfort before they ask. Your gentle attention is exactly what metal often lacks.
