1.What 癸亥 means
癸亥 combines the heavenly stem 癸 (Mizunoto) with the earthly branch 亥 (I). 癸 is likened to rain and dew, and 亥 to the pig (wild boar).
Stem and branch are both Water, a “same element” pairing in which the energy shows itself straight and strong. For better or worse, the qualities of Water stand out.
2.Nacchin: Water of the Great Sea
The nacchin (納音, “sound element”) of 癸亥 is Water of the Great Sea. The open ocean: an endless capacity to accept everything. 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 癸亥
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 (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 worry easily, can turn pessimistic and sometimes retreat into your shell.
4.Born in a 癸亥 year
If your year pillar is 癸亥, you are said to inherit the qualities of rain and dew and of the Pig in your social role and family character. For the personality of your birth animal, see Year of the Pig.
