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 (酉) shows your inner self, your private face and your bond with a spouse. Inside you carry the nature of the Rooster: Like the rooster that announces dawn, you are meticulous and far-sighted, and the Rooster is a symbol of thriving business.

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