Born on a 癸酉 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

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 learn best outside the usual routes: teaching yourself, studying alone, following your own interest. You end up knowing things other people do not. The cost is that recognition comes slowly. The animal of your birth day brings you Unusual learning.

Partner and self: how much strength you bring

Working with little margin

Here you work with little margin, and that makes you notice what others miss. The cost is that one extra demand can be too much.

What is hard to keep hold of

Any part of your life that sits on 戌 and 亥 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 Dog
• The Pig

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.
