The sixty birth days

乙亥

Born on a 乙亥 day

You are a Yin Wood Pig

A reading for anyone born on a 乙亥 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 Pig

  • Gives freelyGives without counting; people relax around it
  • Lives wellEnjoys things without apologising for it
  • The catchAssumes the generosity comes back, and finds out late that it does not

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 get direct help from people above you: teachers, parents, school, someone who backs you while you take a risk. This support is steady. The cost is that you may end up living by the expectations of whoever supports you. The animal of your birth day brings you Mentors and backing.

Partner and self: how much strength you bring

Thinking before acting

Here you think rather than act, and you stay calm when things are urgent. The cost is that you are slow when there is a short chance to act: the conclusion is right and the timing is late.

What is hard to keep hold of

Any part of your life that sits on 申 and 酉 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 Tiger
Easy to fall into, hard to leave. The Pig and the Tiger are one of the six pairs that pull together, the closest link two animals can have.
Clashes head-on
The Snake
A pairing that does not let either person stay the same. The Snake sits directly opposite the Pig on the circle of twelve: a head-on clash. That makes it a restless match, not a bad one.
Team of three
The RabbitThe Goat
These three get the most done together. With the Rabbit and the Goat, the Pig makes a team of three that pulls toward Wood.
