The sixty birth days

己酉

Born on a 己酉 day

You are a Yin Earth Rooster

A reading for anyone born on a 己酉 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 cultivated field

You take in what other people need and give back more than you were given. The classical picture for you is a cultivated field, which takes in seed and returns a crop. The cost is that you shape yourself around whoever you support, and little of your own gets started.

Day animal

The Rooster

  • Names the standardSays the thing, and can explain the standard behind it
  • Comes preparedGets it right down to the detail, every time
  • The catchRight, but not listened to, because of how and when it says 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 make things easily, and you enjoy making them even when nobody is watching. Your element feeds this one, so this is where your spare energy goes without strain. The cost is that because it comes easily, you may never push it further. The animal of your birth day brings you Natural talent.

Partner and self: how much strength you bring

Just starting out

Here you are just starting, and you are open and willing to learn. The cost is that you have nothing to show yet, so progress here usually needs someone to back you.

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