What is the Day Stem (Ilgan) that Sangmin Lee was born with?
The Day Stem is [Shin Metal (辛金)].
Shin Metal (辛金) represents both jewels and swords.
It symbolizes a cold, hard, and precious gemstone.
People with this element are wise and intelligent, but also possess a picky nature.
Shin Metal never betrays its own beliefs.
In the past, it was said that spies were chosen from those born with Shin Metal as their Day Stem,
because they are famous for keeping their beliefs and being tight-lipped.
They are sensitive and clever, but if they become overly confident in their own abilities, it marks the beginning of their downfall, so caution is advised.
While it is a symbol of affluence, if it functions as an inauspicious star in the chart, it can also indicate a weak character.
Is Sangmin Lee’s Day Stem strong (Shin-gang) or weak (Shin-yak)?
The Day Stem is [very strong].
The basic foundation for a favorable chart is having a strong Day Stem like this.
A strong Day Stem brings many advantages.
Of course, this does not mean that life will always be easy.
One will encounter many challenging and fateful events throughout life.
However, these difficulties make the person stronger and foster significant growth.
When good fortune arrives, they can achieve greater accomplishments than others.
Having a strong Day Stem means possessing the fundamental strength to overcome adversity.
What is Sangmin Lee’s Day Pillar (Ilju)?
It is the [Shin-Myo (辛卯)] Day Pillar.
This indicates a person with a gentle, simple, and pure character.
They possess outstanding drive and do not bend when pursuing their goals.
Although generally calm, they can be impatient and overly sensitive, which may lead to excessive nervousness.
They tend to lack social adaptability.
For women, this Day Pillar is known for a particularly strong attachment to their children.
They have a strong desire for love, which often leads to relationship issues.
If married early, various upheavals may occur, and if conflicts deepen, separation may follow.
Marrying later in life can help reduce these inauspicious tendencies.
Women may experience physical and emotional hardship after marriage.
It is recommended to overcome these difficulties through active social engagement.
What is Sangmin Lee’s Chart Structure (Gyeokguk)?
It is the Pyeongwan-gyeok (偏官格), also known in some cases as Chilsal-gyeok (Seven Killings Structure).
Chilsal (Seven Killings), literally meaning “seven types of killing,”
has a rather ominous implication and is characterized by dramatic changes in fate.
Below are general traits of people with this structure.
In short, it symbolizes wildness.
Like a rough, unpolished gemstone, if properly refined, such a person can become a true jewel.
They possess a basic sense of chivalry that refuses to yield to injustice and a straightforward tendency to overpower others.
Although quick-tempered, they have a strong boss-like leadership, being tough on the strong and lenient on the weak.
Sometimes, this personality can go too far, leading them to look down on others.
If properly controlled, Pyeongwan-gyeok suits professions that determine the life and death of others, such as judges, soldiers, or police officers.
If not well controlled, it is usually referred to as Chilsal-gyeok, and can result in a problematic personality, so caution is needed.
They are versatile and highly competitive in everything they do.
They are strong in confrontation and may resort to any means to achieve their goals, sometimes displaying cunning.
Their independence and drive are unmatched.
If the chart has strong Inseong (印星, Seal Star),
they will have dignified conduct and authority, but it is important for them to cultivate patience.
If the chart has strong Bigyeop (比劫, Peer Star),
they tend to work in fields that require the help of siblings or colleagues, but for men, relationships with their wives are often distant, and greed for wealth can bring misfortune, so caution is advised.
People with this structure often experience vastly different lives depending on the composition of the other elements. Some rise to positions of great authority and prestige, while others may live in poverty or, in extreme cases, die young.
In terms of personality, some revere etiquette and order, while others may become so unruly that they are despised by others.
If the chart makes good use of Sik-sang (食傷, Output Star),
they help the weak, subdue the strong, and use quick thinking and adaptability to enhance their value. This is why careers in prosecution or police work are well-suited.
If the chart uses Gwan (官, Officer Star),
they become goal-oriented individuals who mostly lead successful lives.
Pride can be the root of misfortune, so vigilance is necessary.
Now, let’s look at what happens when the Pyeongwan-gyeok is poorly structured.
This is merely an introduction to the possible outcomes of an unfavorable chart composition, not necessarily a reflection of this specific chart.
If the Day Pillar is too weak,
there is a lack of confidence in everything, frequent minor illnesses, and in severe cases, chronic disease or disability. Sometimes, their spiritual energy is stronger than others.
They may be prone to exaggeration and lack persistence, leading to unfinished business and a life that rarely reaches closure.
Their ideals are lofty, but without the means to overcome reality, they often feel exhausted and are susceptible to health issues.
Conversely, if the Pyeongwan-gyeok is properly controlled,
they can become social leaders in various fields such as the military, police, judiciary, medicine, pharmacy, journalism, writing, or academia.

Which element is lacking in Sangmin Lee’s chart?
The lacking element is [Sik-sang (Output Star)].
This is the role (meaning) of Sik-sang:
For both men and women, it is the star of talent and skill.
For everyone, it represents work or career path.
For women, Sik-sang also represents children.
If Sik-sang is strong in the chart, there is little difficulty in making a living.
This is because it is the star of talent and skill.
It is often called the “star of food fortune.”
Sik-sang nourishes Jaeseong (Wealth Star).
If Sik-sang is absent from the chart,
no matter how much wealth there is, it rarely grows, which is a disadvantage.
The only way to supplement the lack of Sik-sang is to hope it appears in the major or annual luck cycles.
Which element is strongly present in Sangmin Lee’s chart?
The power of Jaeseong (Wealth Star) is strongly at work.
That’s right.
This is the energy that represents wealth.
It symbolizes planning, abundance, and health.
Regardless of whether the fortune for wealth is good or bad (details will be covered in the “Wealth Fortune” section), when the power of Jaeseong is present, matters related to money frequently occur around the person.
If the Day Stem is strong and this energy is also strong, there is a very high possibility of becoming wealthy.
This is because,
when Jaeseong is active, there is naturally a strong interest in money.
If the person is also organized and active, it is almost impossible not to become wealthy.
However,
if this energy is excessively strong, academic problems may arise, and for men, it can lead to difficulties in relationships with the opposite sex.
This energy also harms Inseong (Seal Star), which symbolizes the mother, so it can manifest as a strained relationship with the mother or as acts of filial impiety.
If the person is a devoted child, the mother is often in poor health.
If the Day Stem is weak but Jaeseong is strong, it often results in being unable to complete tasks or, in unfortunate cases, having money but being unable to spend it.
In any case,
the fact that Jaeseong (Wealth Star), the most important element for modern life, is a powerful force shaping one’s destiny means that your life has great potential to be “worth living.”
The power of Bigyeop (Peer Star) is also strongly present.
This is different from the word “bigyeop” meaning “cowardly” in everyday language.
When this energy is active, the sense of self becomes very strong.
With a strong sense of self comes clear opinions and strong independence.
Despite a strong sense of self, social skills are also excellent.
As a result, there are many people around, and the person enjoys good fortune with others,
and there is always someone to help in times of trouble.
However,
this energy can also manifest as unnecessary pride or a tendency to force others to submit, leading to unnecessary conflicts and losses.
If this energy is excessive, relationships with the father can be strained, as the desire for independence is strong. For women, relationships with mothers-in-law can be difficult.
Both men and women may face disadvantages in relationships with the opposite sex.
Especially for women, this energy can easily cause marital conflicts even after marriage.
They also have a strong spirit to persevere through adversity. They are the type to muster strength in difficult times.
There is also a tendency toward risk-taking and suspicion of spouses, so marrying someone who is thoroughly trustworthy is key to success.
They often achieve great success when the timing is right, but the ups and downs of fortune are steep, so arrogance must be avoided. Just as the rise can be dramatic, so can the decline.
When Bigyeop (Peer Star) is the dominant force influencing destiny, harmony with those around you is the key to success in all matters.
If you can blend in with those around you rather than always putting yourself forward, you can expect great success.
Are there any Clashes (Chong) or Combinations (Hap) in Sangmin Lee’s chart?
In the natal chart, there is a [Byeong-Shin Combination]. However, in the case of Heavenly Stem combinations, there is a condition called “Hap-I-Bul-Hap” (combination but not a true combination), where it may appear that a combination forms, but in reality, it does not. Sangmin Lee’s chart falls under this category, so the influence is weaker than when a true combination occurs, and there is no phenomenon of elements being bound together.

- Baekho-daesal (白虎大煞)
This is the most inauspicious star among the Shinsal, indicating that the person or their relatives may experience bloodshed.

- Gokgak-sal (曲脚煞)
This star indicates a likelihood of experiencing bone fractures or skeletal issues due to accidents or illness at least once in life. Neuralgia may also occur.
Summary
- This chart has the most typical basic form for becoming wealthy.
- Belonging to the “Fire Burns, Earth Dries” type, there may be issues in romantic relationships.
- Although there is a combination in the Heavenly Stems, it is a “Hap-I-Bul-Hap” type, so its effect may be weak or not manifest at all.
