3.Personality when your day pillar is 丁未

In Four Pillars astrology, the eto of your birth day (the day pillar) stands for you and for your marriage. Sensitive, with a passion you keep inside, you read the subtleties of people's hearts and can go deep into one subject.

The day branch (未) shows your inner self, your private face and your bond with a spouse. Inside you carry the nature of the Goat: Like sheep living together in a flock, the Goat is gentle and cooperative, and stands for the safety of family and friends.

On the other hand: Your fine nerves mean you can tire yourself out by worrying, and your emotions may swing widely.
