钗钏金者，美容首饰，增光腻肌，偎红倚翠之珍，枕玉眠香之宝，此金藏之闺阁，唯宜静水，井涧、溪流，见之皆吉，多见则泛，海水贫夭；天河辛亥见之无妨，丙午真火，庚戌所忌，以午戌凑成火局，有伤此金故也。太阳火日生显耀，覆灯火夜间显耀，故皆宜见，但甲辰乙巳与庚戌辛亥相冲，阴阳交见为妙，戊子己丑与丙午丁未相持，二火忌迭，见之非贫即夭。炉中火庚戌最忌，辛亥见之，丙辛化水，稍吉。山下、山头俱不宜见。若有水济，亦可。柱中有水，此金入于匣中，有福贵方吉。土见砂中，相生相养，更有涧下水助，荣华富贵。
Gengxu and Xinhai are classified under the Hairpin and Bracelet Metal in the Na Yin system. Like exquisite jewelry 💎, it adds luster to the skin and is a treasure kept in boudoirs. This type of Metal destiny requires the nourishment of still water (such as well water 🌊 or stream water). A small amount can enhance fortune, but encountering large bodies of water (like sea water 🌊) may lead to a life of wandering and poverty. Those with Xinhai destiny encountering Heavenly River Water are unaffected but should beware of Bingwu True Fire (as Wu and Xu combine to form a fire phase 🔥, which can melt fragile Metal). Sun Fire ☀️ shines brightly during the day, while Covered Lamp Fire 🕯️ adds brilliance at night—both are favorable.
Points to note:
If the birth chart contains water 🌊, it is like storing golden ornaments in a treasure box 📦, leading to wealth and honor. Encountering Sand Earth for nourishment, aided by Stream Water, can bring prosperity and glory.
Hairpin and Bracelet Metal symbolizes fragile yet precious energy, requiring "still water for nourishment" and avoiding "fierce fire that melts it." The essence emphasizes environmental balance and energy preservation.
Fragile and exquisite items require protection, much like modern individuals need to establish an "energy moat" amidst fast-paced lives—using stable systems (water) to resist external drains (fire). This embodies the survival wisdom of dynamic balance.
