Sea Gold

Na Yin
海中金命

Definition

Sea Water Gold is one of the sixty Jiazi Na Yin (Hidden Stem and Branch) elements, corresponding to the stem-branch combinations Jia Zi and Yi Chou. Sea Water Gold symbolizes gold deposits hidden deep in the ocean—though possessing the intrinsic quality of gold, it remains submerged underwater and thus difficult to discover or utilize. Individuals born under Sea Water Gold tend to be reserved and profound in character, possessing talent that is not easily recognized; only when encountering Fire (to refine the metal) or entering a prosperous period can their brilliance truly emerge.

How to Find

Individuals whose birth year pillar is Jia Zi or Yi Chou are classified as Sea Water Gold命. Jia Zi represents Yang Sea Water Gold, while Yi Chou represents Yin Sea Water Gold.
