The sixty birth days

乙巳

Born on a 乙巳 day

You are a Yin Wood Snake

A reading for anyone born on a 乙巳 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 Snake

  • Gets there firstHas the answer before anyone finishes explaining
  • Says littleSpeaks rarely and precisely, and cannot be hurried
  • The catchKeeping quiet becomes a habit, until nobody asks any more

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 say what you think, not the polite version. Your talent is the same kind as Natural talent, but it does not follow rules. The cost is friction with the people above you, and the more talent, the more friction. The animal of your birth day brings you Sharp talent.

Partner and self: how much strength you bring

Noticed too early

Here people notice you before you are ready. They warm to you quickly, but they decide who you are before you have, and you spend time afterwards correcting them.

What is hard to keep hold of

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

To find your own day animal, enter your birth date. It takes about a minute.
