Born on a 庚寅 day

What kind of person you are

Raw ore

You decide fast and do not back down, and you do your best under pressure rather than in comfort. The classical picture for you is raw ore, or the blade made from it: hard, and useful because it does not bend. The cost is that people can find you harsh.

Day animal

The Tiger

• Acts firstMoves before thinking it through, and it works often enough
• Has to leadWill not take orders; needs to set the terms itself
• The catchStarts strong, then the follow-through and the finish fade

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 can make money by going after it: deals, ventures and one-off wins rather than a salary. This money comes in large amounts and goes out in large amounts. The cost is that your income is rarely steady. The animal of your birth day brings you Big money.

Partner and self: how much strength you bring

Starting from nothing

Here you inherited nothing, so you owe nothing. The cost is that there is nothing to fall back on: whatever you have here, you made yourself.

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 Pig

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

Clashes head-on

The Monkey

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

Team of three

The HorseThe Dog

These three get the most done together. With the Horse and the Dog, the Tiger makes a team of three that pulls toward Fire.
