Gyeongsin (庚申, Metal Monkey / Geng Shen) Day Pillar — The Mountain of Iron

Gyeongsin is a great mountain of iron and white rock, solid and unyielding. The ground beneath you matches your own nature, so your Metal has firm support in its own branch. There is water inside for expression and earth for support. You are decisive, loyal and strong-willed. You act quickly, stand by your word and value honor and justice. When friends need a decision made, they turn to you, and at work you are the one who does not flinch in a hard meeting. People trust your courage and directness. Because your metal is so strong, though, you may seem blunt or stubborn. Under stress, you might struggle to bend when flexibility is needed, holding to a plan even after it has stopped working. Your firmness is a real strength, and it becomes even stronger with some give. The Moon Rabbit's gentle suggestion: temper your strength with patience and kind words, and you will become a leader people follow gladly.
