癸未 (Mizunoto-hitsuji): the Yin Water Goat

1.What 癸未 means

癸未 combines the heavenly stem 癸 (Mizunoto) with the earthly branch 未 (Hitsuji). 癸 is likened to rain and dew, and 未 to the goat (sheep).

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: Willow Wood

The nacchin (納音, “sound element”) of 癸未 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 癸未

In Four Pillars astrology, the eto of your birth day (the day pillar) stands for you and for your marriage. Diligent, serious and thoughtful, you understand how others feel. You quietly build up effort until it bears fruit.

The day branch (未) shows your inner self, your private face and your bond with a spouse. Inside you carry the nature of the Goat: Like sheep living together in a flock, the Goat is gentle and cooperative, and stands for the safety of family and friends.

On the other hand: You worry easily, can turn pessimistic and sometimes retreat into your shell.

4.Born in a 癸未 year

If your year pillar is 癸未, you are said to inherit the qualities of rain and dew and of the Goat in your social role and family character. For the personality of your birth animal, see Year of the Goat.
