己亥 Ji Hai Day Pillar: Fertile fields by the river

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

Ji Hai is field soil (己) beside the great water of winter (亥). Like riverside fields with plenty of water, this pillar holds wealth and harvest.

At a glance

Personality

Diligent and thrifty, treasuring home and money. Sitting on Direct Wealth, you have the power to save step by step. The 甲 in 亥 combines with your 己 Day Master (甲己), so you naturally take on principle and responsibility (the Direct Officer). The Conception stage quietly grows potential.

Love and partner

Direct Wealth sits in the spouse palace and its 甲 (Direct Officer) combines with you. For women this joins the spouse star; for men Wealth sits in the spouse palace — either way, deep affection with a spouse. You love in a devoted, family-minded way.

Work and money

Work that minds the details and builds up suits you: finance, accounting, management, education, service. Money accumulates steadily through careful management.

Cautions and advice

Earth with much water easily fills with worries and thoughts. Do not try to hold everything; set the limits of your share. Warm activities and people that dry you out, like Fire, give you strength.

Day pillars that click, and day pillars that clash

Stems and branches both combine: 甲寅 Jia Yin. 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: 乙巳 Yi Si. 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 Hai day come around?

Day pillars run in a sixty-day cycle. From October 2026 to the end of 2027, 己亥 Ji Hai days fall 13 times: Sat, Nov 21, 2026; Wed, Jan 20, 2027; Sun, Mar 21, 2027; Thu, May 20, 2027; Mon, Jul 19, 2027; Fri, Sep 17, 2027; Tue, Nov 16, 2027; Sat, Jan 15, 2028; Wed, Mar 15, 2028; Sun, May 14, 2028; Thu, Jul 13, 2028; Mon, Sep 11, 2028; Fri, Nov 10, 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 Hai 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. No combination or clash with your day branch, so the year runs fairly calmly.
• 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: Three Harmony with your day branch — allies gather and strength builds.

2027 month by month

Saju months change at the solar terms, not on the 1st. For a Ji Hai 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: February (壬寅), March (癸卯), July (丁未). The month that clashes with it: May (乙巳).

Zodiac signs that suit Ji Hai, and signs that clash

Counting from the day branch 亥, the Tiger (寅), Rabbit (卯), Goat (未) form a Six or Three Harmony and are read as easy matches; the Snake (巳) 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.
