辛 Xin · The Jewel

辛 Xin — The Jewel

辛金 is refined jewellery — precise, aesthetic, image-conscious. It is cleansed by 壬水 and dulled by heavy 己土; clarity and elegance are its operating conditions. Its words cut finer than 庚's axe — and leave finer scars.

The elemental god: An elegant goddess of cut crystal and silver in a moonlit cavern of gems.
