1.What 乙亥 means
乙亥 combines the heavenly stem 乙 (Kinoto) with the earthly branch 亥 (I). 乙 is likened to grasses and flowers, and 亥 to the pig (wild boar).
The branch below (Water) feeds the stem on top (Wood), a generating pairing. Supported from the ground up, this is a stable eto that easily attracts help.
2.Nacchin: Fire on the Mountaintop
The nacchin (納音, “sound element”) of 乙亥 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 乙亥
In Four Pillars astrology, the eto of your birth day (the day pillar) stands for you and for your marriage. Cooperative and resilient, you adapt to your surroundings and make the most of them. You also have an excellent eye for beauty.
The day branch (亥) shows your inner self, your private face and your bond with a spouse. Inside you carry the nature of the Pig: In Japan this animal is the wild boar, famous for charging straight ahead. You are a passionate person who heads directly for your goal, and the boar is also a symbol of good health.
On the other hand: You may go along with others so much that you can't say what you think, or become dependent on someone to lean on.
4.Born in a 乙亥 year
