Born on a 戊辰 day

What kind of person you are

A mountain

You are steady and hard to alarm, and people lean on you without asking whether you can take it. The classical picture for you is a mountain, which other things are measured against. The cost is that moving, changing and starting are hard for you, even though enduring is easy.

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 have people at your level on your side: friends, brothers and sisters, colleagues. They share your element, so they add to your strength. The cost is that whatever you gain, you share with them. The animal of your birth day brings you Allies.

Partner and self: how much strength you bring

Newly appointed

Here you take on a position and make something of it, with enough strength to get things moving. The cost is that, like anyone new in a role, you find it hard to compromise.

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 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.
