性格Ren Zi personality
Ren Zi is water on water, the ocean at full strength. These people are powerful, intelligent and independent, with big plans and strong instincts. They do not like limits. Their force is greatest when it has a clear channel; without one it can scatter.

纳音Nayin: Mulberry Wood
Each pair of pillars shares one of 30 Nayin, or "sound" elements. Ren Zi belongs to Mulberry Wood, pictured as mulberry wood: useful and productive, feeds others. Nayin is an older layer of Chinese astrology and is read as a background image, not as your Day Master's element.

In BaZi the day branch is the spouse palace. For Ren Zi it holds the Rat, which traditionally harmonises with the Ox (six harmony) and the Dragon and Monkey (three harmony), and clashes with the Horse.
The most harmonious day pillar for Ren Zi is Ding Chou (丁丑): its stem combines with yours and its branch forms a six-harmony pair (天合地合). The most challenging are Bing Wu (丙午) and Wu Wu (戊午): stem against stem and branch against branch (天克地冲). Other pillars in your chart matter more than this single pairing.

Ren Zi belongs to the Jia Chen (甲辰) decade (旬), whose void branches are Yin and Mao (寅卯: Tiger, Rabbit). Traditionally, years and months of these branches are said to make plans feel less solid. The next such years: 2034, 2035, 2046, 2047.
