1.What 丁酉 means
丁酉 combines the heavenly stem 丁 (Hinoto) with the earthly branch 酉 (Tori). 丁 is likened to a lamp flame, and 酉 to the rooster.
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.

The nacchin (納音, “sound element”) of 丁酉 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 丁酉

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