White Rabbit · A fine silver hairpin laid in the grass
Yin Metal — a polished jewel. You are seated on the wood energy you control — a sense of the practical world lies underfoot.
Cut off and rejoined. Bold in front of change, with a life rhythm that turns over often.
Money in motion is seated in your inner room. Resourcefulness, scale and activity are strong here — and so is the width of what comes and goes.
The stems concealed inside 卯 (Rabbit). A branch is not one single energy — it holds this mixture, in these proportions across a 30-day month.
A silver hairpin in the grass — fine senses and a taste that is clearly its own. Put in a rough arena it scratches before anything else happens, so choosing the arena is itself the skill here.
Is Xin Mao actually your day pillar?
The day pillar shifts on solar-term and zi-hour boundaries, so it is not countable by eye. Enter your birth date and the engine computes it in under a minute — free, no account.
Find my day pillar — freeYour day pillar is the stem-branch pair governing the day you were born — Xin Mao (辛卯) in this case. It rotates every day through a cycle of sixty, and the boundaries depend on solar terms and the 11pm zi-hour rule, so it is not something you can count by eye. Enter your birth date in our free reading and the engine computes it directly.
White Rabbit — the image traditionally attached to it is "A fine silver hairpin laid in the grass". Your Day Master 辛 (Yin Metal — a polished jewel) sits on 卯, the Rabbit, which carries Wood. In the twelve-stage cycle that position reads as Void, and the seated Ten God is Indirect Wealth.
No. The day pillar is two characters out of eight — your core axis, not the whole picture. The year, month and hour pillars, the balance of the five elements, and your decade luck all have to be laid on top before a reading means much. Treat a day-pillar page as the doorway, not the room.
Same sixty-cycle, different reading of the same characters. 辛卯 is romanised Xin Mao from Mandarin and sinmyo from Korean, and Korean saju calls the day pillar ilju (일주). The calculation is identical; the interpretive traditions differ.
The twelve-stage position, seated Ten God and hidden stems are computed by the Ioreum deterministic engine (ruleset ioreum-2026.07). The reading itself is interpretation from the day-pillar tradition, not verified science — we always tell you which part is calculation and which part is tradition.
