Born on a 庚辰 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 Dragon

• Thinks bigDoes not know how to do anything small
• Draws a crowdOther people join its plans without being asked
• The catchIts plans grow bigger than the support behind them, and upkeep bores 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

Building up quietly

Here you build up quietly, and none of it is wasted. The cost is that for a while, people may value you at less than you are worth.

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.

• The Monkey
• The Rooster

How it gets on with the other animals

Pulls together

The Rooster

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

Clashes head-on

The Dog

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

Team of three

The MonkeyThe Rat

These three get the most done together. With the Monkey and the Rat, the Dragon makes a team of three that pulls toward Water.
