Jim Morrison Saju Reading

01

A closer look at 庚子

Yang Metal is metal at the forge. A cut, a revision or a decisive change of shape gives this symbol its character.

The second character in 庚子, 子, sits directly beneath 庚. Read that pairing before comparing the day with 癸未, the year pillar shared by many people born in the same period.

02

The working rhythm of 甲子

Jim Morrison has been a member of The Doors.

In the month branch, Hurting Officer describes testing an established form by changing one of its rules. For Jim Morrison, try reading that theme through the breath just before a phrase returns. It is a detail the audience can notice directly, without having to guess what the artist intended.

03

Cooperation through Hurting Officer

The branch beneath the Day Master gives a second relationship, Hurting Officer. Its theme is testing an established form by changing one of its rules. Compare it with the month’s Hurting Officer: do the two positions call for a similar response, or do they put the emphasis somewhere else?

04

Counting the visible elements

Across 癸未, 甲子 and 庚子, Water has the highest visible count (3 out of six for each leading element). These are counts of characters. The season represented by 子 also matters when judging how those elements function.
