Born on a 甲辰 day

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.

Day animal

The Dragon

• Thinks bigDoes not know how to do anything small
• Draws a crowdOther people join its plans without being asked
• The catchIts plans grow bigger than the support behind them, and upkeep bores it

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 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.

• The Tiger
• The Rabbit

How it gets on with the other animals

Pulls together

The Rooster

Easy to fall into, hard to leave. The Dragon and the Rooster are one of the six pairs that pull together, the closest link two animals can have.

Clashes head-on

The Dog

A pairing that does not let either person stay the same. The Dog sits directly opposite the Dragon on the circle of twelve: a head-on clash. That makes it a restless match, not a bad one.

Team of three

The MonkeyThe Rat

These three get the most done together. With the Monkey and the Rat, the Dragon makes a team of three that pulls toward Water.
