Born on a 庚午 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 Horse

• Moves to thinkGets stuck sitting still; the answer comes on the way somewhere
• Pulls people inWarm and direct, and hard not to notice
• The catchLeaves a good thing because it stopped being new, not because it went bad

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 take on roles and keep to them: a job, its rules, the duties that come with it. Unlike Pressure, this is something you agreed to, and keeping it earns you respect. The cost is that you cannot simply walk away from it. The animal of your birth day brings you Job and rules.

Partner and self: how much strength you bring

Noticed too early

Here people notice you before you are ready. They warm to you quickly, but they decide who you are before you have, and you spend time afterwards correcting them.

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 Goat

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

Clashes head-on

The Rat

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

Team of three

The TigerThe Dog

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