Each pair of pillars shares one of 30 Nayin, or "sound" elements. Xin Mao belongs to Pine and Cypress Wood, pictured as pine and cypress: evergreen endurance through cold seasons. Nayin is an older layer of Chinese astrology and is read as a background image, not as your Day Master's element.

婚恋Love and the spouse palace

In BaZi the day branch is the spouse palace. For Xin Mao it holds the Rabbit, which traditionally harmonises with the Dog (six harmony) and the Goat and Pig (three harmony), and clashes with the Rooster.

The most harmonious day pillar for Xin Mao is Bing Xu (丙戌): its stem combines with yours and its branch forms a six-harmony pair (天合地合). The most challenging are Yi You (乙酉) and Ding You (丁酉): stem against stem and branch against branch (天克地冲). Other pillars in your chart matter more than this single pairing.

空亡Void branches

Xin Mao belongs to the Jia Shen (甲申) decade (旬), whose void branches are Wu and Wei (午未: Horse, Goat). Traditionally, years and months of these branches are said to make plans feel less solid. The next such years: 2026, 2027, 2038, 2039.

日期When does Xin Mao come round?

As a day: the 60-day cycle repeats every 60 days. Next Xin Mao days: Nov 13, 2026 · Jan 12, 2027 · Mar 13, 2027 · May 12, 2027. As a year pillar: 1951, 2011.
