How it's built
Sin is the jewel — metal that has already been polished. Sharp taste, high standards and an eye for quality. It shines in the right setting and notices every scratch, including its own.
Yu (酉), the Rooster, is mid-autumn — the harvest-time jewel. Neat, precise and principled; it notices details others miss.
Here the branch is the same element as the stem: you are standing on your own ground. Self-reliant and clear about what you want, you do best at your own pace.
Personality — who sits in your closest seat
In saju the day branch is the seat closest to you: your private self, and traditionally your partner's seat.
The Friend. The same energy as you sits in your closest seat. You treat the people nearest to you as equals and teammates, value your independence and don't love being told what to do. Great side-by-side energy — you just need room to breathe.
Life stage: Own Feet. Standing on your own feet: self-made, capable and practical. You'd rather earn it than be handed it.
In short: the jewel on the Rooster, with The Friend close by and a Own Feet kind of energy.
Work and talents
You work best as your own boss or an equal partner — freelancing, founding, coaching, sport. Shared goals motivate you more than titles.
