The sixty birth days

乙丑

Born on a 乙丑 day

You are a Yin Wood Ox

A reading for anyone born on a 乙丑 day starts from the line above. The top character stands for you, and the one under it is the animal of your birth day.

This page reads only the two characters of your birth day. The characters of your birth year, month and hour can strengthen what is said here or undo it.

What kind of person you are

A climbing vine

You adapt, and you last. The classical picture for you is a climbing vine, which reaches the height of a tree by using the tree. So you get where you want by working with what is around you, and people who mistake flexibility for weakness underestimate you. The cost is that you can come to rely on others to hold you up.

Day animal

The Ox

  • FinishesStill going long after everyone else has stopped
  • Gets strongerIs worth more in year ten than in year one
  • The catchKeeps doing a job well past the point of handing it over

This page is about a birth-day animal, not a birth-year animal. Everyone has a day animal, from the day they were born, and it is often not the year animal they know.

What the two characters do to each other

You can make money by going after it: deals, ventures and one-off wins rather than a salary. This money comes in large amounts and goes out in large amounts. The cost is that your income is rarely steady. The animal of your birth day brings you Big money.

Partner and self: how much strength you bring

Past the peak

Here you rely on judgement more than force, so you rarely overreach. The cost is that you also give up fights you could have won.

What is hard to keep hold of

Any part of your life that sits on 戌 and 亥 is hard for you to keep hold of. These two of the twelve animals count as empty for you, and the day you were born decides which two.

How it gets on with the other animals

Pulls together
The Rat
Easy to fall into, hard to leave. The Ox and the Rat are one of the six pairs that pull together, the closest link two animals can have.
Clashes head-on
The Goat
A pairing that does not let either person stay the same. The Goat sits directly opposite the Ox on the circle of twelve: a head-on clash. That makes it a restless match, not a bad one.
Team of three
The SnakeThe Rooster
These three get the most done together. With the Snake and the Rooster, the Ox makes a team of three that pulls toward Metal.
