Born on a 庚戌 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 Dog

• Stands by peopleStays loyal without attaching conditions
• Plays fairSticks to its principles even when that costs it
• The catchStays in a role long after it was free to leave

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

Past the peak

Here you rely on judgement more than force, so you rarely overreach. The cost is that you also give up fights you could have won.

What is hard to keep hold of

Any part of your life that sits on 寅 and 卯 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 Tiger
• The Rabbit

How it gets on with the other animals

Pulls together

The Rabbit

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

Clashes head-on

The Dragon

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

Team of three

The TigerThe Horse

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