己卯 Ji Mao Day Pillar: A field where spring grass breaks through

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

Ji Mao is soft soil (己) with spring grass (卯) breaking through. As the field grows the grass, this pillar spends its strength raising and caring for others.

At a glance

Personality

Delicate and very patient, you think of others first. Sitting on Seven Killings, you are highly responsible and strict with yourself. 卯 holds only Wood, so you feel the Officer's pressure strongly and live with tension even if you do not show it. The Illness stage gives great empathy and sensitivity.

Love and partner

With Seven Killings in the spouse palace, you are easily drawn to partners who take the lead. For women Officer is the spouse star, so marriage ties tend to be clear, but keep your own standards so you are not pushed around. A respectful tone on both sides keeps things easy.

Work and money

Work that grows people and things suits you: education, counselling, gardening, management, service. You are also valued for looking after juniors and strengthening teams. Money comes from steady management.

Cautions and advice

Enduring becomes a habit and stress piles up. Poor digestion or a heavy body is your signal to rest. Learning and warm people — the Fire that bridges Wood and Earth — turn burden into strength.

Day pillars that click, and day pillars that clash

Stems and branches both combine: 甲戌 Jia Xu. 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: 乙酉 Yi You. 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 Mao day come around?

Day pillars run in a sixty-day cycle. From October 2026 to the end of 2027, 己卯 Ji Mao days fall 14 times: Sun, Nov 1, 2026; Thu, Dec 31, 2026; Mon, Mar 1, 2027; Fri, Apr 30, 2027; Tue, Jun 29, 2027; Sat, Aug 28, 2027; Wed, Oct 27, 2027; Sun, Dec 26, 2027; Thu, Feb 24, 2028; Mon, Apr 24, 2028; Fri, Jun 23, 2028; Tue, Aug 22, 2028; Sat, Oct 21, 2028; Wed, Dec 20, 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 Mao 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: Break — a plan may go off course once.
• 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 Mao 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: July (丁未), October (庚戌), November (辛亥). The month that clashes with it: September (己酉).

Zodiac signs that suit Ji Mao, and signs that clash

Counting from the day branch 卯, the Goat (未), Dog (戌), Pig (亥) form a Six or Three Harmony and are read as easy matches; the Rooster (酉) 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.
