The sixty birth days

癸未

Born on a 癸未 day

You are a Yin Water Goat

A reading for anyone born on a 癸未 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

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.

Day animal

The Goat

  • Catches detailsSpots the one thing that is off that everyone else missed
  • Holds out quietlyGentle in manner, and does not give way when pushed
  • The catchTakes on other people’s moods until it has nothing left

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 face pressure you did not ask for: hard deadlines, difficult people, demands you cannot put off. If you have enough strength, it makes you better at what you do. If you do not, it wears you down. The animal of your birth day brings you Pressure.

Partner and self: how much strength you bring

Gathering and keeping

Here you collect and keep things, knowledge and people. The cost is that you find it hard to let go at the right time, and storing is not the same as using.

What is hard to keep hold of

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