The 庚寅 Pillar (position 27 of 60)

At position 0 in the 60-cycle, 庚寅 combines the stem 庚 (the unyielding force of raw iron and axe — decisive, structured, cutting through ambiguity) with the Tiger’s domain — dawn energy, courage, and natural authority. The ‘Pine-Wood’ NaYin overlays this with its own imagery, suggesting a personality where geng qualities are filtered through tiger instincts. This exact combination recurs only every 60 years — the previous was 1890, the next will be 2010.
