Xin: Yin Metal

The Xin Metal shine

Clearly, if you're a Xin Metal Day Master, you are more than just a human representation of sparkling, delicate jewelry and fine, decorative metal! While you will exhibit the most obvious and general qualities of the Xin Metal Day Master to a greater or lesser degree, you may also demonstrate different attributes in different situations.

What are your most basic personality traits? What are you like in your career, in your relationships, and how do you deal with money? What type of entrepreneur or businessperson are you likely to be? What type of person are you in the workplace, and how do you operate as a leader or manager? What kind of friend or colleague are you?

All these questions and more are addressed in this book, so that you're able to see exactly how the Xin Metal person operates in various aspects of his or her life. While there are other factors to consider when analysing a person's fundamental character, motivations in life, and outlook and destiny, a Xin Metal person's modus operandi, so to speak, is significantly different from the other Day Masters.

How Xin are you?

If you're a Xin Metal Day Master, you are likely to exhibit the majority of the traits that is highlighted in the book. If you're not a Xin Metal Day Master but you have the Xin Metal as one (or more) of the Heavenly Stems in your BaZi chart, then you're likely to exhibit these tendencies in lesser degrees. Alternatively, it suggests that you have the potential or inclination to exhibit these tendencies in specific situations and contexts only.

In BaZi, the concept of STRONG or WEAK elements plays a big role in determining how 'Xin' you are.

So bear in mind that even if you are a Xin Metal Day Master, whether or not you display the traits covered here to a greater or lesser degree depends very much on the strength and quality of your Day Master. The Day Stem is but one part of the chart, and there are 3 other Stems and 4 Earthly Branches to consider in your complete chart. These other parts of the chart will influence the strength and quality of your Day Master.

These factors are too varied and complex to be discussed here in a simple book (it is, however, a fundamental section of my professional BaZi courses and Destiny Code series of books). Suffice to say that to read and understand this particular book, you merely need to be aware of this concept. If your Day Master is strong, you'll exhibit MORE of these tendencies or traits outlined in the book. If your Day Master is weak, you'll exhibit less of these traits.

Do keep in mind that this book shows you the traits of the Xin Metal Day Master in general, and doesn't take into account the particularities of your entire BaZi chart! Having said that, nothing beats getting a complete BaZi consultation from a professional, or taking a full BaZi course and learning the interpretation skills completely for yourself.

BaZi Astrology is a study that helps us understand ourselves, make better decisions, and ultimately, enables us to shape our life for the better. With these pocket-sized books, I hope to make BaZi a relevant a part of your life - and may the knowledge that you gain serve you in all of life's endeavours.

All the best in your BaZi studies... and here's to discovering what the Xin Metal person is all about!

BaZi essentially begins with the Day Master, or the Day Stem. This is basically - YOUR DAY OF BIRTH. On your BaZi chart, as shown in the image below, the Day Master refers to the 'Heavenly Stem' section of your Day Pillar.
