Born on a 癸亥 day

What kind of person you are

Rain and dew

You change things quietly, and people notice only later. The classical picture for you is rain and dew, which reach places that larger water cannot. So your influence builds up slowly rather than all at once. The cost is that your part in things is easy to overlook.

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

Someone close to you wants the same things you want: a coworker, a brother or sister, a friend. When you are short of strength, they back you up. When you already have plenty, they compete with you for the same things. The animal of your birth day brings you Rivals.

Partner and self: how much strength you bring

At full strength

This is where you are strongest: when you push, things move. The cost is that you find it hard to believe others might be right when they disagree. Mistakes here come from having too much, not too little.

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.

• The Rat
• The Ox

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.
