Yin Metal (辛) is the eighth of the ten heavenly stems
辛 is the eighth of the ten heavenly stems. Its element is Metal and its polarity is Yin. Saju-Link calls a person whose day stem is 辛 "Yin Metal (辛)".
The line that the result screen shows for this day stem is: "A cut gem. Fine-grained taste and high standards; sloppiness is hard to let pass." This line has nothing to do with the table or the scores below.
How it reads the other stems (the Ten Gods)

The stems that read as the spouse position
Traditional myeongri reads the spouse position as Steady Wealth (正財) for men and Authority (正官) for women. With 辛 as the day stem, Steady Wealth is 甲 and Authority is 丙. If you do not state your gender, this position is not read.
