In BaZi the day branch is the spouse palace. For Geng Xu it holds the Dog, which traditionally harmonises with the Rabbit (six harmony) and the Tiger and Horse (three harmony), and clashes with the Dragon.
The most harmonious day pillar for Geng Xu is Yi Mao (乙卯): its stem combines with yours and its branch forms a six-harmony pair (天合地合). The most challenging are Jia Chen (甲辰) and Bing Chen (丙辰): stem against stem and branch against branch (天克地冲). Other pillars in your chart matter more than this single pairing.
