1) The Geng metal (庚金) sits on the branch of Xu (戌), which in terms of seasonal order, is the time when the Yang fire (Bing Huo, the sun) enters its tomb, and the Ding fire (the starlight) is nurtured. From the perspective of the heavenly stems and earthly branches calendar, this is the ninth month where the Geng metal element transitions from its strong position to a weaker one. Therefore, at this time, Geng metal both benefits from fire refining it and also benefits from earth nurturing it. However, the Xu earth is dry soil, which cannot allow the Geng metal to have harmonious generation and transformation, but instead makes the Geng metal brittle. Hence, people born on Geng Xu day are unlikely to have a happy mother-child relationship or a good marriage.
2. People born on Geng Xu day, whether male or female, naturally carry the aura of an official. Therefore, even if they are at the bottom of society, they do not lose their dignity. They are not easily approached or violated by others. Thus, in daily life, they are steady, reasonable, and well-mannered, capable of self-respect and with an enterprising spirit. They have no unreasonable desires. However, they tend to be suspicious, often causing themselves trouble because of it.
3) In general divination books, Geng Xu day is also considered one of the "Kui Gang" days. Kui Gang has a personality that is intelligent, decisive in matters, and has a fresh perspective in writing, which can be striking. However, there is also a side of being power-hungry and fond of killing. Therefore, it is suitable for people born on Kui Gang days to work in jobs related to public security, judiciary, military, police, etc.
4) Some divination books say that people born on Kui Gang days should not encounter wealth or officials; encountering them will immediately lead to extreme poverty and hardship. My personal experience in divination is that if the entire destiny configuration truly experiences a violation, collision, or destruction of the Kui Gang (Geng Chen, Geng Xu, Wu Xu, Ren Chen), then it should be analyzed according to the usual configuration of heavenly stems and earthly branches. From practical experience, some configurations that break the Kui Gang may still have good destinies, so ancient judgments should not be generalized.
5) People born on Geng Xu day often show signs of traveling extensively abroad. However, if they engage in business, they often face obstacles. If they oppose their superiors at work, they will likely suffer defeat.
6) Women born on Geng Xu day show signs of taking on others' affairs, only to be struck down in return. Whether they are involved in commerce or industry, they find it difficult to thrive.
7) Yi wood is the regular wealth of Geng metal. Relative to Xu, it is in the tomb state. Therefore, for men born on Geng Xu day, after marriage, their wives are either physically weak or their careers are not thriving. It is more likely for them to die early.
8) Jia wood is the secondary wealth of Geng metal. Relative to Xu, it is in the nourishment state. Therefore, people born on Geng Xu day generally have poor financial conditions, especially unsuitable for speculative industries. If they seek livelihood in such fields, they will often end up working twice as hard with little result, facing great effort and fatigue.
9) For women born on Geng Xu day, Bing fire is the secondary official, and Ding fire is the regular official. Bing fire relative to Xu is in the tomb state, and Ding fire relative to Xu is in the nourishment state. Therefore, women born on Geng Xu day often encounter lovers or spouses who are not ideal in their hearts. Because of this, women born on Geng Xu day are prone to having extramarital affairs. Some divination books even label Geng Xu day as the "Red Beauty Harm" (红艳煞).
10) People born on Geng Xu day are likely to get along well with those born in the Year of the Rooster or Monkey. This kind of friendship gives Geng Xu day individuals a sense of support and increased strength. But it can also cause them to become overconfident. If the negotiation opponent of a Geng Xu day person is someone born in the Year of the Rooster or Monkey, the negotiation might involve many disputes and difficulties.
11) People born on Geng Xu day can also get along well with those born in the Year of the Horse or Tiger. However, if a man born on Geng Xu day faces two people born in the Year of the Horse or Tiger during a negotiation, he may be controlled and suppressed. If a woman born on Geng Xu day encounters an opposite-sex colleague born in the Year of the Horse or Tiger at work, she may easily develop feelings.
12) People born on Geng Xu day are prone to career changes during the years or major periods dominated by the Dragon. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, this is due to the activation of cold solar energy, leading to symptoms such as neck stiffness, headache, body aches, insomnia, sensitivity to cold, pneumonia, common colds, and skin diseases.
