Born with an Im-Water (Yang Water) Day Master, Kim Beom-su has the vast, embracing capacity and flexible thinking of the open sea.

⚡ In-Depth Astrological Analysis

Kim Beom-su's chart has an Im-Water Day Master, but being born in a Byeongo (Fire Horse) year, strong Fire in his chart works against that Water. A chart like this needs a Metal Favorable Element to control the Fire and feed the Water. The Gyeongsin Major Luck Cycle brought both Gyeong-Metal and Sin-Metal at once, powerfully feeding his Im-Water Day Master while reining in the Fire of Byeongo — an ideal luck cycle.
