1.What 辛巳 means
辛巳 combines the heavenly stem 辛 (Kanoto) with the earthly branch 巳 (Mi). 辛 is likened to jewels and precious metal, and 巳 to the snake.
The branch below (Fire) restrains the stem on top (Metal), a controlling pairing. There is inner conflict, but also hidden strength to grow by pushing against it.
2.Nacchin: White Pewter
The nacchin (納音, “sound element”) of 辛巳 is White Pewter. Pewter, a soft alloy of tin and lead: changing shape easily and putting many talents to use. 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 辛巳
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 (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: You are easily hurt and sensitive to criticism. A perfectionist, you can be hard on yourself and others.
4.Born in a 辛巳 year
If your year pillar is 辛巳, you are said to inherit the qualities of jewels and precious metal and of the Snake in your social role and family character. For the personality of your birth animal, see Year of the Snake.
