Born on a 壬寅 day

What kind of person you are

The open sea

You keep most of what you think to yourself, and you are hard to stop. The classical picture for you is the open sea: wide, deep, and always moving somewhere. So you think in large terms, and you go around obstacles instead of through them. The cost is that people find you hard to read.

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 make things easily, and you enjoy making them even when nobody is watching. Your element feeds this one, so this is where your spare energy goes without strain. The cost is that because it comes easily, you may never push it further. The animal of your birth day brings you Natural talent.

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 辰 and 巳 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 Dragon
• The Snake

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.
