Gyeongo (庚午, Metal Horse / Geng Wu) Day Pillar — The Sword in the Forge

Gyeongo is raw iron being tempered in a summer forge, slowly shaped into a fine sword. The heat around you stands for duty, rules and public responsibility. Pressure is what gives you shape, and you come out stronger for it. You value honor, fairness and doing things properly. People sense that you can be trusted, and you often end up in roles with a title or a public face, like team lead, club president or the person who speaks for the group. You are hard-working and quietly proud of your standards. With friends, you are the one who shows up exactly on time and keeps every promise. Because the forge is always hot, though, you can be very strict with yourself. You may feel the weight of expectations more than you let on, replaying a small mistake long after everyone else has forgotten it. Under stress, you might tighten the rules even further instead of loosening them. The Moon Rabbit's gentle suggestion: remember that a sword also needs time out of the fire to cool, rest and be admired.
