甲寅 Jia Yin Day Pillar: The leading tree of the spring forest

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

Jia Yin is a great tree (甲) in the spring forest (寅). Stem and branch are both Wood and the day branch is the Day Master's own Prosperity branch, making it one of the firmest self-standing pillars.

At a glance

Personality

Independent and proud, upright and assured. Rather than leaning on others you blaze your own trail, a natural leader out front. Sitting on a Friend, your views are clear, and an Eating God (丙) and Indirect Wealth (戊) in 寅 give the power to turn talent into results.

Love and partner

With a Friend in the spouse palace, you want an equal relationship, like friends. Pride can collide, so agree first on the direction you are going together rather than on who is right. Once you trust, you stay true.

Work and money

Positions where you work under your own name and take the lead suit you: founding a company, management, education, professional work. Money comes in as much as you build yourself.

Cautions and advice

A straight tree can snap. The flexibility to put down stubbornness and change course is a great strength. With strong energy you try to do it all, so practise trusting others and handing things over.

Day pillars that click, and day pillars that clash

Stems and branches both combine: 己亥 Ji Hai. 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: 庚申 Geng Shen. 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 Jia Yin day come around?

Day pillars run in a sixty-day cycle. From October 2026 to the end of 2027, 甲寅 Jia Yin days fall 13 times: Sun, Dec 6, 2026; Thu, Feb 4, 2027; Mon, Apr 5, 2027; Fri, Jun 4, 2027; Tue, Aug 3, 2027; Sat, Oct 2, 2027; Wed, Dec 1, 2027; Sun, Jan 30, 2028; Thu, Mar 30, 2028; Mon, May 29, 2028; Fri, Jul 28, 2028; Tue, Sep 26, 2028; Sat, Nov 25, 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 Jia Yin day pillar

• 2026, the 丙午 Bing Wu year: the stem 丙 is your Eating God and the branch 午 is your Hurting Officer, so it is a year when you express yourself and start new things. With your day branch: Three Harmony with your day branch — allies gather and strength builds.
• 2027, the 丁未 Ding Wei year: the stem 丁 is your Hurting Officer and the branch 未 is your Direct Wealth, so it is a year when you express yourself and start new things. No combination or clash with your day branch, so the year runs fairly calmly.

2027 month by month

Saju months change at the solar terms, not on the 1st. For a Jia Yin 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: June (丙午), October (庚戌), November (辛亥). The month that clashes with it: August (戊申).

Zodiac signs that suit Jia Yin, and signs that clash

Counting from the day branch 寅, the Horse (午), Dog (戌), Pig (亥) form a Six or Three Harmony and are read as easy matches; the Monkey (申) 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.
