Sinyu (辛酉) Day Pillar — The Polished White Jade

Sinyu is a piece of flawless white jade, polished to a gleam. The fine metal beneath you matches your own nature exactly, so here your metal stands in its rightful place, pure and clear. You are clear, sharp and principled. You have high standards, great taste and a strong sense of self-respect. You notice flaws quickly and strive to do everything well, from the way you fold a shirt to the way you write a message. Your honesty and clarity make you trustworthy; friends know your compliment is real because you never give a fake one. Because your metal is so pure, though, you may be sensitive to imperfection. Under stress, you might become critical of yourself or others, or feel lonely when people do not meet your standards. Those standards are a gift, and they need not keep people away. Remember that jade gains warmth from the hand that holds it. Dari's gentle suggestion: let people close, even when things are a little messy, and your gleam will soften into something lovely.
