1.What 己卯 means
己卯 combines the heavenly stem 己 (Tsuchinoto) with the earthly branch 卯 (U). 己 is likened to fields and gardens, and 卯 to the rabbit.
The branch below (Wood) restrains the stem on top (Earth), a controlling pairing. There is inner conflict, but also hidden strength to grow by pushing against it.
2.Nacchin: Earth on the Castle Wall
The nacchin (納音, “sound element”) of 己卯 is Earth on the Castle Wall. The earth of a castle rampart: solid enough to protect people, with high aspirations. 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 己卯
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 (卯) shows your inner self, your private face and your bond with a spouse. Inside you carry the nature of the Rabbit: Light on its feet like a hopping rabbit, the Rabbit is gentle and mild, and a symbol of leaping forward.
On the other hand: You tend to take on too much, worry easily and overthink.
4.Born in a 己卯 year
If your year pillar is 己卯, you are said to inherit the qualities of fields and gardens and of the Rabbit in your social role and family character. For the personality of your birth animal, see Year of the Rabbit.
