1.What 己亥 means
己亥 combines the heavenly stem 己 (Tsuchinoto) with the earthly branch 亥 (I). 己 is likened to fields and gardens, and 亥 to the pig (wild boar).
The stem on top (Earth) restrains the branch below (Water), a controlling pairing. The power to take charge and keep things under control shows strongly.
2.Nacchin: Wood of the Plain
The nacchin (納音, “sound element”) of 己亥 is Wood of the Plain. A tree standing on open ground: loved by many and growing steadily. 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 己亥
In Four Pillars astrology, the eto of your birth day (the day pillar) stands for you and for your marriage. Caring and nurturing, you raise people and projects patiently. Multi-talented, you absorb knowledge and make it your own.
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 tend to take on too much, worry easily and overthink.
4.Born in a 己亥 year
If your year pillar is 己亥, you are said to inherit the qualities of fields and gardens and of the Pig in your social role and family character. For the personality of your birth animal, see Year of the Pig.
