辛 亥

The 辛亥 (Xin Hai) Day Pillar

Yin Metal over Pig (Water)

Your day pillar is the pair of characters for the day you were born: your Day Master on top, the branch it stands on below. If yours is 辛亥, here's what the app reads in it.

What you sit on: your day pillar

A pearl washed by the sea

Your jewel is washed clean by cold winter water. The Pig is Water, and clean water makes a gem shine. The main star is Hurting Officer, the star of wit, talent and frank speech. A little Direct Wealth, steady money, sits there too. The stage is Cleansing, like a first bath: charming, sensitive, a little restless. You also sit on the Golden Carriage, a traditional sign of comfort in love. This is also your partner's seat. You tend to give a lot to a partner, and see clearly what's missing. Gentle words keep the shine.

You tend to be bright, graceful and articulate, at your best when you speak kindly.

Palaces

Methods for calculating the palaces vary between schools.

Life palace

A polished treasure

Silver jewellery shines brightest after a rinse in clear water. Here your Life Palace is Yin Metal over the Pig, whose old name is Hairpin and Bracelet Metal. It often points to charm and refinement, at its best in calm, cared-for surroundings.

You tend to shine in pleasant places, among people who treat you gently.

Conception palace

Silver washed in clear water

Fine metal, Yin Metal, meets the Pig's clear winter water, like silver being rinsed until it gleams. It shares the name Hairpin and Bracelet Gold, jewellery made to be admired. Traditionally this seed points to a refined, clean-minded start.

You were likely born with a fine eye and a clear, honest mind.

Na Yin

釵釧金 Jewelry metal

Jewelry metal: refinement and recognized worth.

A poetic name for each of the sixty character pairs, like “Metal in the sea.” It's an image from the tradition, not a measure of strength.
