1.What 丙申 means
丙申 combines the heavenly stem 丙 (Hinoe) with the earthly branch 申 (Saru). 丙 is likened to the sun, and 申 to the monkey.
The stem on top (Fire) restrains the branch below (Metal), a controlling pairing. The power to take charge and keep things under control shows strongly.
2.Nacchin: Fire at the Foot of the Mountain
The nacchin (納音, “sound element”) of 丙申 is Fire at the Foot of the Mountain. Fire at the foot of a mountain, or the setting sun: gentle warmth for the people close by. 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 丙申
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 (申) shows your inner self, your private face and your bond with a spouse. Inside you carry the nature of the Monkey: Clever and nimble like a monkey, you think quickly, have many talents and an inexhaustible supply of ideas.
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 丙申 year
If your year pillar is 丙申, you are said to inherit the qualities of the sun and of the Monkey in your social role and family character. For the personality of your birth animal, see Year of the Monkey.
