Xin Mao Day Pillar 辛卯

The Day Pillar is the two characters of the day you were born: a Heavenly Stem on top (your Day Master, the “you” of a Saju chart) and an Earthly Branch below (your inner self and spouse palace). In Xin Mao (辛卯), the Day Master is Xin Metal (a finely cut jewel) sitting on the Rabbit branch, whose element is Wood.

You sit on the wood of wealth (Indirect Wealth), with fine senses and open money luck. Good aesthetic sense and sociability, but you are sensitive and easily hurt by small things.

Xin Metal is delicate and values polish, like a well-cut jewel. You have a strong aesthetic sense and a sharp eye that misses no detail. Proud and disciplined, you often give an impression of refinement. You can be sensitive and vulnerable to stress, so it helps to find your own ways to calm your mind.

What makes Xin Mao different from the other five Xin Metal Day Pillars is the branch it sits on, covered below.

With Mao beneath your Day Master, you are delicate and sensory and value atmosphere in relationships. There is soft energy in your spouse seat, so you are drawn to kind, tasteful people. You notice even small changes in your partner and feel hurt as easily, so if you wonder about something, don’t hold it in but ask.

The energy of active wealth (Indirect Wealth) sits in your spouse seat, so you tend to meet sociable, generous partners. With so much charm and freedom, you need to build stability through trust and communication.

Xin Metal loves in a refined, delicate way. You remember your partner’s tastes and details and show sensory consideration, but pride means it takes time to approach first or apologize. Put the relationship before pride.

Indirect Wealth here means: Indirect Wealth (Pian Cai) stands for money that flows in and out and for business skill. You have a good sense for spotting opportunity and a big appetite, so you are good at moving large sums, and you have the knack of turning a network of people into wealth. Spending can grow just as large, so planned management lets you grow your money luck more steadily.

Extinction (Jue): the energy of being cut off and starting anew. Lots of change and dramatic turns, but a big power for fresh starts.

Hidden inside the Rabbit branch: Jia (Wood, 10 days), Yi (Wood, 20 days). These quieter energies show up in private, under stress or later in life.

Areas to look after: lungs, large intestine, bronchi, skin and nose.

Too much Metal energy dries the airways and skin, and feelings can turn dry and edgy. Fluids, humidity, soft food and warm conversation restore balance.

Too little Metal energy leaves bronchi and skin weak and prone to colds in changing seasons. Look after breathing exercises, clean air and regular bowel habits.

• Six Harmony: the Rabbit pairs with the Dog. People with a Dog Day Branch often feel an easy pull toward you.
• Three Harmony: the Rabbit · Goat · Pig form a Wood team, so those animals tend to bring out your best.
• Clash: the Rabbit clashes with the Rooster. It is not doom, only a spot where friction and change come easily.
• Perfect match on stem and branch: Bing Xu (丙戌) combines with Xin Mao on both the stem and the branch.
• Opposite pillar (most friction): Ding You (丁酉): its stem is Seven Killings to you and its branch clashes with yours.
