The stem that combines with the Monthly Virtue noble. Traditionally it is linked to talks and dealings going more smoothly.
San Ming Tong Hui, volume 3: "the monthly union, for the first month Bing combines with Xin, for the second month Jia with Ji, for the third month Ren with Ding, for the fourth month Geng with Yi, and so on." Method: first take Monthly Virtue by month branch (Bing for Yin, Wu, Xu months; Ren for Shen, Zi, Chen; Jia for Hai, Mao, Wei; Geng for Si, You, Chou), then take its five-combination stem (Bing with Xin, Ren with Ding, Jia with Ji, Geng with Yi).

In practice it reads as cooperation and negotiation costing less effort than forcing things.
Used on this site: listed as a note-only marker on the chart (it is not scored and does not change any score).
Rule of thumb: these markers are read from fixed classical tables, and the scores and advice come from a separate model. Both are laid out on the site, and neither is a claim about what will happen.
These readings follow the traditional Chinese system (BaZi / Zi Wei Dou Shu) and describe how the classics read a chart. They are not predictions and not medical, legal or financial advice, and no outcome is promised.
Does it change my scores?
No. It appears only in the note layer and is not part of any scoring formula.
What if it appears together with the Monthly Virtue noble?
Traditionally the two are read as the same family of notes; this site only lists them and makes no fortune claim.
