1.What 壬午 means
壬午 combines the heavenly stem 壬 (Mizunoe) with the earthly branch 午 (Uma). 壬 is likened to the ocean and great rivers, and 午 to the horse.
The stem on top (Water) restrains the branch below (Fire), a controlling pairing. The power to take charge and keep things under control shows strongly.
2.Nacchin: Willow Wood
The nacchin (納音, “sound element”) of 壬午 is Willow Wood. The supple willow: not resisting the wind, surviving through flexibility. 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 壬午
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 (午) shows your inner self, your private face and your bond with a spouse. Inside you carry the nature of the Horse: Like a horse running across the plains, the Horse is cheerful, active and in love with freedom.
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 壬午 year
If your year pillar is 壬午, you are said to inherit the qualities of the ocean and great rivers and of the Horse in your social role and family character. For the personality of your birth animal, see Year of the Horse.
