Age 29, 38: the Gēng Chén Decade

The years from 29 to 38 brought Wren into a decade ruled by Gēng Chén, the Metal stem paired with Dragon, which carried the energy of Seven Killings, a force that tests through pressure and demands for growth. This was a waning phase for faer Wood nature, meaning the intensity that had driven earlier years was softening, yet the external challenges did not necessarily ease. The Metal element in this luck pillar was taboo for faer chart, making it a chapter that required careful navigation; what felt effortless in other periods now asked for deliberate effort and discernment. There was likely a sense of facing obstacles or authority figures that pushed faer to prove faerself, or situations where faer had to develop resilience faer didn't know faer needed. Looking back now, Wren can probably see how those pressures, though uncomfortable at the time, refined faer judgment and taught faer something about faer own capacity to endure. The decade did not bring ease, but it brought substance.
