Born on a 壬午 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 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 earn money steadily, by turning up and doing the work, and you like fair pay for fair work. The amounts are smaller than Big money, and little of it goes missing. The cost is that it grows slowly. The animal of your birth day brings you Steady pay.

Partner and self: how much strength you bring

Still taking shape

Here nothing has taken shape yet, and your options are wide open. The cost is impatience at not having started, which looks to others like doing nothing.

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 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.
