Monday · Yin Wood Pig year · Yin Earth Rabbit month · 甲子 day
You are The Wood (木) 甲. Born in the spring of April, your 甲 Wood leans strong, read from the season your self is measured against - before your birth hour is counted. Yang Wood, the great tree: upright growth and leadership, breaks new ground; principled, can be unbending. As an element, Wood (木) is growth and vision: expansion, planning, the drive to begin and build upward.
Your 甲 sits on 子 (the Rat (鼠)) - in the twelve-stage cycle this is 沐浴 (Bathing): Bathing - raw and unformed. The Rat (Yang Water, midnight, deep winter): the seed stirring in the dark - instinct, beginnings, hidden movement. Underneath, seated in your inner palace, is Direct Resource (正印) (via hidden 癸) - nurturing support: protection, learning, the mother's care; backing that asks nothing.
What this chart reaches for is Fire (火). Whether you already carry it is the rest of your chart - the season sets the need, not the answer. What helps you: Fire, Wood. What works against you: Water, Metal.
The loudest conversation in your chart is between your day and your year: 三会 (a direction) with 乙亥 - two parts of the same Water direction - you face the same way, a strong same-season pull.
The channel that runs strongest through your stems and hidden stems is 正印 - nurturing support: protection, learning, the mother's care; backing that asks nothing. Your day-pillar nayin is Gold in the Sea (海中金) - metal still forming in the deep - latent worth, value not yet surfaced. This date carries Yang Blade (羊刃格) - your Day Master peaks in the month - sharp, forceful, a blade that cuts both ways.
This is your date-level reading. Add your birth time and your full living chart opens — your inner world, your later chapters, and how the story ends.
