Heaven Geng (庚)

Geng, hiding Jia-Shen: obstacles, opponents, force; the husband in marriage questions. Below are its combinations over the nine earth stems.

How to read Geng

Geng hides Jia-Shen and is yang Metal. It stands for obstacles, opponents, competition and hard force; in love and marriage questions it often stands for the man or husband. Geng's palace is often where things are stuck and need a breakthrough.

The heaven stem stands for change, outside forces or the visiting side; the earth stem for the existing situation or the host. Geng means much the same on either plate, but on the heaven plate it leans towards what is happening or arriving from outside, and on the earth plate towards what was already there, on your own side.
