Tuesday
Heavenly StemYin Wood
This day’s heavenly stem is 乙 – Yin Wood. The ten stems represent yin and yang pairs of the five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.
The day is 乙卯 in the sixty-part stem–branch cycle. Its first character is the stem; this alone does not make a day favourable or unfavourable.
Earthly BranchRabbit
This day’s earthly branch is 卯 – Rabbit. Each of the twelve branches has an animal; the cycle marks days as well as birth years.
The second character of 乙卯 gives the day’s animal. It comes from the calendar cycle, not the visitor’s birth details.
Traditional day qualityEstablish Day
建 – Establish Day. The traditional name means: establishing, beginning.
The twelve day officers follow the relationship between the day branch and the solar-month branch. Here the day is Rabbit and the month is Rabbit; their relationship produces this officer.
This is a general traditional quality. Read the Suggested and Avoid lists for individual activities; the name does not promise success.
