Born on a 癸巳 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.

Day animal

• Says littleSpeaks rarely and precisely, and cannot be hurried
• The catchKeeping quiet becomes a habit, until nobody asks any more

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 earn money steadily, by turning up and doing the work, and you like fair pay for fair work. The amounts are smaller than Big money, and little of it goes missing. The cost is that it grows slowly. The animal of your birth day brings you Steady pay.

Partner and self: how much strength you bring

Still taking shape

Here nothing has taken shape yet, and your options are wide open. The cost is impatience at not having started, which looks to others like doing nothing.

What is hard to keep hold of

Any part of your life that sits on 午 and 未 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 Horse
• The Goat

How it gets on with the other animals

Pulls together

The Monkey

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

Clashes head-on

The Pig

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

Team of three

The RoosterThe Ox

These three get the most done together. With the Rooster and the Ox, the Snake makes a team of three that pulls toward Metal.
