己丑 Ji Chou Day Pillar: A snow-covered winter field

By Data Saju · Published October 3, 2026 · Updated November 5, 2026

Ji Chou is field soil (己) meeting winter earth (丑). Stem and branch are both Earth: like a snow-covered field, quiet, yet preparing for spring underneath.

At a glance

Personality

Very patient with a quiet steadiness; you see through whatever you decide. Sitting on a Friend, you are independent with clear standards. Indirect Wealth (癸) and an Eating God (辛) in 丑 combine the power to save with skill. The Tomb stage makes you strong at storing and accumulating.

Love and partner

With a Friend in the spouse palace, you want an equal, comfortable relationship, like friends. You express little and may seem indifferent, but your affection runs deep. When you both dig in, rules that divide roles help.

Work and money

Work that needs consistency and care suits you: finance, management, agriculture, research, professional work. Building wealth slowly over time suits you better than one big win.

Cautions and advice

Cold earth changes slowly and keeps feelings hidden, which invites misunderstanding. Warm people and fresh stimulation, like Fire, bring spring to the field. Share your worries instead of holding them alone.

Day pillars that click, and day pillars that clash

Stems and branches both combine: 甲子 Jia Zi. With a stem combination and a Six Harmony at once (天合地合), these pairs are drawn to each other and mesh naturally.

Stems and branches both clash: 乙未 Yi Wei. The branches clash and the stems collide too, so methods and pace differ and tension arises easily — though such pairs can also spur each other to grow.

Real compatibility looks at both whole charts, each person's useful element and the luck you go through together, not one day pillar. See how compatibility works.

When does a Ji Chou day come around?

Day pillars run in a sixty-day cycle. From October 2026 to the end of 2027, 己丑 Ji Chou days fall 14 times: Wed, Nov 11, 2026; Sun, Jan 10, 2027; Thu, Mar 11, 2027; Mon, May 10, 2027; Fri, Jul 9, 2027; Tue, Sep 7, 2027; Sat, Nov 6, 2027; Wed, Jan 5, 2028; Sun, Mar 5, 2028; Thu, May 4, 2028; Mon, Jul 3, 2028; Fri, Sep 1, 2028; Tue, Oct 31, 2028; Sat, Dec 30, 2028 (by the local calendar date). A day that repeats your own day pillar is read as a day when your Day Master is strong — some use it to start something important or to take stock.

What 2026 and 2027 mean for a Ji Chou day pillar

• 2026, the 丙午 Bing Wu year: the stem 丙 is your Direct Resource and the branch 午 is your Indirect Resource, so it is a year when learning, paperwork and support come in. With your day branch: Harm — small hurts pile up easily; Wonjin — needless friction.
• 2027, the 丁未 Ding Wei year: the stem 丁 is your Indirect Resource and the branch 未 is your Friend, so it is a year when learning, paperwork and support come in. With your day branch: clashes your day branch — moves and changes, a busier mind; Punishment — things to adjust and refine.

2027 month by month

Saju months change at the solar terms, not on the 1st. For a Ji Chou day pillar we calculated the ten god of each month's stem and how the month's branch meets your day branch. Months that combine with your day branch: May (乙巳), September (己酉), December (壬子). The month that clashes with it: July (丁未).

Zodiac signs that suit Ji Chou, and signs that clash

Counting from the day branch 丑, the Rat (子), Snake (巳), Rooster (酉) form a Six or Three Harmony and are read as easy matches; the Goat (未) clashes with it, so pace and style differ. A zodiac sign is only the other person's year branch, so real compatibility needs both whole charts.

The facts table, the matching pillars, the dates, the 2026–2027 flow and the zodiac signs all come from the same engine as our readings; the month pillars were re-checked against the solar-term times. A day pillar is two of the eight characters in a chart, so the same day pillar reads quite differently depending on the year, month and hour of birth.
