甲寅

Jia Yin (甲寅) — Yang Wood on the Tiger

A great tree at the edge of the forest.

Heavenly stem: 甲 · Jia · Yang Wood
Earthly branch: 寅 · Yin · Tiger
Na Yin: Great Brook Water
Hidden stems: Jia, Bing, Wu
Hidden gods: Friend, Eating God, Indirect Wealth
Branch element: Wood

Strong upright wood in its own element, growing without restraint.

In BaZi, the day pillar is the pillar of the self. Its heavenly stem is your Day Master — the reference point for every other character in the chart. A person born on a Jia Yin day has Jia wood as their Day Master, sitting on the 寅 (wood) branch.

Personality

Jia wood is principle; the Tiger underneath is courage. This is one of the most self-directed pillars in the cycle — forthright, energetic, and difficult to push around. You would rather be wrong out loud than quietly managed, and people usually know exactly where they stand with you.

Work and vocation

Founding, leadership, teaching, law, or outdoor work where the results are visible and the decisions are yours to carry.

Relationships

Generous and protective, sometimes more than the other person asked for. Listen as much as you lead; the people closest to you need room to disagree.

Health and rhythm

Liver, tendons and overextension. You tend to discover your limits after crossing them, so build rest in before the body insists.

The sexagenary day cycle repeats every sixty days. These are the next dates that fall on Jia Yin.
