1.What 壬辰 means
壬辰 combines the heavenly stem 壬 (Mizunoe) with the earthly branch 辰 (Tatsu). 壬 is likened to the ocean and great rivers, and 辰 to the dragon.
The branch below (Earth) restrains the stem on top (Water), a controlling pairing. There is inner conflict, but also hidden strength to grow by pushing against it.
2.Nacchin: Long-Flowing Water
The nacchin (納音, “sound element”) of 壬辰 is Long-Flowing Water. A great river that flows on and on: persistence that keeps moving toward distant goals. 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 壬辰
In Four Pillars astrology, the eto of your birth day (the day pillar) stands for you and for your marriage. You think big, love freedom and combine wisdom with nerve. You get along with anyone.
The day branch (辰) shows your inner self, your private face and your bond with a spouse. Inside you carry the nature of the Dragon: The Dragon is the only imaginary creature among the twelve. Dragon people are charismatic, with big dreams and strong luck.
On the other hand: Your moods rise and fall like the tide; you hate being tied down and can lose interest quickly.
4.Born in a 壬辰 year
If your year pillar is 壬辰, you are said to inherit the qualities of the ocean and great rivers and of the Dragon in your social role and family character. For the personality of your birth animal, see Year of the Dragon.
