辛未 (Kanoto-hitsuji): the Yin Metal Goat

1.What 辛未 means

辛未 combines the heavenly stem 辛 (Kanoto) with the earthly branch 未 (Hitsuji). 辛 is likened to jewels and precious metal, and 未 to the goat (sheep).

The branch below (Earth) feeds the stem on top (Metal), a generating pairing. Supported from the ground up, this is a stable eto that easily attracts help.

2.Nacchin: Earth by the Roadside

The nacchin (納音, “sound element”) of 辛未 is Earth by the Roadside. Earth at the side of the road: humble, patient strength that keeps supporting people even as they walk over it. 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 辛未

In Four Pillars astrology, the eto of your birth day (the day pillar) stands for you and for your marriage. You have refined taste and natural grace. Sensitive and clear-thinking, you take pride in finishing things carefully.

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: You are easily hurt and sensitive to criticism. A perfectionist, you can be hard on yourself and others.

4.Born in a 辛未 year

If your year pillar is 辛未, you are said to inherit the qualities of jewels and precious metal and of the Goat in your social role and family character. For the personality of your birth animal, see Year of the Goat.
