1.What 丙子 means
丙子 combines the heavenly stem 丙 (Hinoe) with the earthly branch 子 (Ne). 丙 is likened to the sun, and 子 to the rat.
The branch below (Water) restrains the stem on top (Fire), a controlling pairing. There is inner conflict, but also hidden strength to grow by pushing against it.
2.Nacchin: Water in the Ravine
The nacchin (納音, “sound element”) of 丙子 is Water in the Ravine. Clear water running through a valley: quiet, pure, intelligent and refined. The nacchin describes the essence of a birth-year eto; read more in the sixty eto and nacchin.
3.Personality when your day pillar is 丙子
In Four Pillars astrology, the eto of your birth day (the day pillar) stands for you and for your marriage. Bright and cheerful, you have no hidden side. Passionate and quick to act, you naturally lift everyone's spirits.
The day branch (子) shows your inner self, your private face and your bond with a spouse. Inside you carry the nature of the Rat: In Japanese, “rat arithmetic” (nezumi-zan) means multiplying quickly, and the Rat stands for prosperity and many descendants. Rat people think fast, gather information well, act quickly and have a real talent for saving.
On the other hand: Your feelings show on your face and you get bored easily. Fine detail and steady routine are not your strong points.
4.Born in a 丙子 year
If your year pillar is 丙子, you are said to inherit the qualities of the sun and of the Rat in your social role and family character. For the personality of your birth animal, see Year of the Rat.
