1.What 甲戌 means
甲戌 combines the heavenly stem 甲 (Kinoe) with the earthly branch 戌 (Inu). 甲 is likened to a great tree, and 戌 to the dog.
The stem on top (Wood) restrains the branch below (Earth), a controlling pairing. The power to take charge and keep things under control shows strongly.
2.Nacchin: Fire on the Mountaintop
The nacchin (納音, “sound element”) of 甲戌 is Fire on the Mountaintop. Fire burning on a summit: a presence seen from far away, and lofty ideals. 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 甲戌
In Four Pillars astrology, the eto of your birth day (the day pillar) stands for you and for your marriage. You are a natural leader with a strong sense of justice, and once you decide something you see it through. You look after people, and friends trust you deeply.
The day branch (戌) shows your inner self, your private face and your bond with a spouse. Inside you carry the nature of the Dog: Like a loyal dog, you are sincere and faithful, a guardian who protects family and friends.
On the other hand: Like a great tree that cannot bend, you can be inflexible, and pride makes it hard for you to bow your head to others.
4.Born in a 甲戌 year
If your year pillar is 甲戌, you are said to inherit the qualities of a great tree and of the Dog in your social role and family character. For the personality of your birth animal, see Year of the Dog.
