The sixty birth days

戊申

Born on a 戊申 day

You are a Yang Earth Monkey

A reading for anyone born on a 戊申 day starts from the line above. The top character stands for you, and the one under it is the animal of your birth day.

This page reads only the two characters of your birth day. The characters of your birth year, month and hour can strengthen what is said here or undo it.

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 Monkey

  • Finds a wayBlocked one way, it tries another: around, not through
  • Learns fastPicks anything up and puts it to use
  • The catchGets bored before finishing and moves on to the next thing

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 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.

How it gets on with the other animals

Pulls together
The Snake
Easy to fall into, hard to leave. The Monkey and the Snake are one of the six pairs that pull together, the closest link two animals can have.
Clashes head-on
The Tiger
A pairing that does not let either person stay the same. The Tiger sits directly opposite the Monkey on the circle of twelve: a head-on clash. That makes it a restless match, not a bad one.
Team of three
The RatThe Dragon
These three get the most done together. With the Rat and the Dragon, the Monkey makes a team of three that pulls toward Water.
