What Is Pomegranate Wood (石榴木) in BaZi?
Identify the 庚申–辛酉 Pomegranate Wood pair, its metal-frame transformation, root earth, water, and fire conditions, and its limits for fertility claims.
Overview
Pomegranate Wood is the wood-class Nayin assigned to 庚申 and 辛酉. Classical sources note that its stems and branches are metal while its Nayin is wood, then picture red flowers and clustered fruit and distinguish root earth, water, metal, fire, and other woods; the image does not prove fertility, many children, beauty, wealth, productivity, or ordinary wood strength.

Pomegranate Wood belongs to 庚申 and 辛酉
The fixed Nayin table assigns Pomegranate Wood only to complete 庚申 and 辛酉 pillars. A Geng or Xin stem, a Shen or You branch, a pomegranate, fruit, seeds, or characters assembled across pillars do not establish it.
庚 and 辛 remain metal stems; 申 and 酉 remain metal branches with their original hidden stems. The wood Nayin is a pair-level historical image and does not convert the metal frame or add ordinary wood.
- Match the full metal-stem and metal-branch pair.
- Preserve the original metal structure and hidden stems.
A wood image inside a metal frame requires exact roots
San Ming Tong Hui calls this a transformed wood because both stems and branches are metal while the Nayin is wood. Its red flowers, clustered seeds, and ability to be set in a pot lead the source to favor formed earth as a root, especially named City-Wall and House Earth conditions.
Sand Gold, Sea Gold, Sword Edge, Heavenly River, clear spring and stream waters, Great Sea, sun or thunder fire, and other woods are all separated by pair. Some water irrigates while flooding is harmful; some metal supports transformation while another cuts it, so the exact structure matters.
- Keep the metal-frame and wood-image contrast explicit.
- Name the root earth and the actual water, metal, or fire pair.
Flowers and fruit do not set ordinary wood strength
OpenFate deterministically maps 庚申 and 辛酉 to Pomegranate Wood. Compatibility keeps the label auxiliary and non-scoring, so direct pillar relations, chart structure, and favorable-element evidence remain primary.
Actual wood strength and function depend on season, roots, hidden and exposed stems, support, control, combinations, clashes, dryness, moisture, and timing. Fruit imagery cannot prove that wood is abundant, productive, mature, or useful.
- Keep the Nayin lookup separate from scoring.
- Evaluate ordinary wood through the complete chart.
Many seeds do not predict fertility or descendants
Pomegranate Wood does not prove fertility, pregnancy, many children, reproductive health, sexual function, beauty, a sharp or spicy temperament, prosperity, creative output, gardening skill, autumn luck, or long life. Fruit and seed imagery is not a medical or family forecast.
Reproductive, family, health, financial, and career decisions require consent, clinical evidence, current circumstances, and qualified professionals. Never pressure someone about children or promise abundance because of this Nayin.
- Exclude fertility, family size, health, wealth, and productivity claims.
- Use clinical and personal evidence for reproductive decisions.
