Keith Richards Saju Reading

01

A closer look at 庚戌

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 庚戌, 戌, 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

Keith Richards has been a member of Little Boy Blue & The Blue Boys.

In the month branch, Hurting Officer describes testing an established form by changing one of its rules. For Keith Richards, try reading that theme through the space between a repeated motif and its variation. It is a detail the audience can notice directly, without having to guess what the artist intended.

03

Cooperation through Indirect Resource

The branch beneath the Day Master gives a second relationship, Indirect Resource. Its theme is learning through an unexpected connection between ideas. 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 庚戌, Earth and Water share the highest visible count (2 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.
