辛 卯

The 辛卯 (Xin Mao) Day Pillar

Yin Metal over Rabbit (Wood)

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 辛卯, here's what the app reads in it.

What you sit on: your day pillar

A jewel in a spring garden

Your jewel lies in a spring garden. The Rabbit is soft Wood, and Metal trims Wood into shape. All of it is Indirect Wealth, the star of a good eye, open hands and lucky chances. The stage is Reset, a clean slate. This is also your partner's place in the chart. You tend to care for your partner in practical ways. Old books list this day among the Yin Yang Mismatch days. Traditionally that hints at friction with in-laws, or love that comes at an odd hour. Keep both families informed, and keep kind words flowing.

You tend to be refined and generous, and in love, patience and family diplomacy help.

Palaces

Methods for calculating the palaces vary between schools.

Life palace

Strong through every season

Old cypress trees grow slowly and live for centuries. Here the Life Palace is Yin Metal over the Rabbit, whose old name is Pine and Cypress Wood. It often suggests principles, patience and a character that grows sturdier with age.

You tend to get stronger and wiser the longer you live your own way.

Conception palace

A carved wooden box

A small blade, Yin Metal, meets the Rabbit's young wood, like a carver's knife on soft timber. This seed shares the name Pine and Cypress Wood, trees that keep their leaves in the cold. In the traditional view it means a sensitive start that turns out stronger than expected.

You may begin life shy or tender, and you often grow surprisingly hardy.

Na Yin

松柏木 Pine and cypress wood

Pine and cypress: endurance and long life.

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.
