丁巳 (Hinoto-mi): the Yin Fire Snake

1.What 丁巳 means

丁巳 combines the heavenly stem 丁 (Hinoto) with the earthly branch 巳 (Mi). 丁 is likened to a lamp flame, and 巳 to the snake.

Stem and branch are both Fire, a “same element” pairing in which the energy shows itself straight and strong. For better or worse, the qualities of Fire stand out.

2.Nacchin: Earth in the Sand

The nacchin (納音, “sound element”) of 丁巳 is Earth in the Sand. Earth mixed with sand: flexible and accepting of many things. 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 丁巳

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 (巳) shows your inner self, your private face and your bond with a spouse. Inside you carry the nature of the Snake: Shedding its skin again and again, the Snake stands for rebirth and for money luck. Snake people are thoughtful, wise and intuitive.

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

4.Born in a 丁巳 year

If your year pillar is 丁巳, you are said to inherit the qualities of a lamp flame and of the Snake in your social role and family character. For the personality of your birth animal, see Year of the Snake.
