Your Year Pillar
Geng Metal (Metal) controls the Tiger branch (Wood). Your visible self disciplines your instincts — useful for self-mastery, but it can suppress what you need to let breathe.
If you were born in 2010, your year pillar is Gēng Yín (Yang Metal Tiger). The Tiger animal gives you bold, idealistic, protective qualities, while Geng Metal layers sharp determination and decisive cutting power on top. You're bold by instinct, with the Metal stem adding decisive, action-oriented character.

Career & Direction
Your Metal stem suggests strong fit for precision work — finance, engineering, surgery, law, anything requiring exactness and structure. The Tiger branch's Wood energy adds a layer of growth and ethics on top. Career satisfaction tends to come from work that uses both layers — your visible drive and your underlying instincts — rather than just one.
Relationships
In relationships, Tiger energy seeks someone who can hold space for their intensity without competing or shrinking. Geng Metal's decisive, action-oriented character adds another layer: you tend to love through commitment — once chosen, your loyalty is unbreakable. Under stress, Tiger energy can be impulsive, restless, or burn out their own causes.
Life Arc Right Now
You're early in your luck cycle. The patterns you set now — work habits, relationship templates, self-narratives — will compound for decades. Investing in self-knowledge here pays disproportionate returns.
