甲寅

Born on a 甲寅 day

You are a Yang Wood Tiger

A reading for anyone born on a 甲寅 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 standing tree

You choose one direction and keep to it, so other people can plan around you. The classical picture for you is a standing tree, which grows straight up and does not go around things. The cost is that you are slow to change course, and you resist being pushed where you did not choose to go.

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 have people at your level on your side: friends, brothers and sisters, colleagues. They share your element, so they add to your strength. The cost is that whatever you gain, you share with them. The animal of your birth day brings you Allies.

Partner and self: how much strength you bring

Standing on your own

Here you get things done without needing anyone’s permission. The cost is that you find it hard to ask for help, even help you would actually use.

What is hard to keep hold of

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

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