丁亥 (Hinoto-i): the Yin Fire Pig

1.What 丁亥 means

丁亥 combines the heavenly stem 丁 (Hinoto) with the earthly branch 亥 (I). 丁 is likened to a lamp flame, and 亥 to the pig (wild boar).

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.

3.Personality when your day pillar is 丁亥

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 (亥) shows your inner self, your private face and your bond with a spouse. Inside you carry the nature of the Pig: In Japan this animal is the wild boar, famous for charging straight ahead. You are a passionate person who heads directly for your goal, and the boar is also a symbol of good health.

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