乙亥 Yi Hai Day Pillar: A lotus blooming on the water

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

Yi Hai is delicate grass and flowers (乙) floating on the great water of winter (亥). Water nourishes Wood, so this pillar draws people with soft, clear energy.

At a glance

Personality

Gentle and warm-hearted, with a good capacity to learn and understand. Sitting on a Direct Resource, you receive help readily and read others' feelings well. Rob Wealth (甲) in 亥 gives quiet competitiveness and persistence beneath the softness. The Death stage lets you become deeply absorbed in what interests you.

Love and partner

With a Direct Resource in the spouse palace, you want a relationship where you care for and can lean on each other, and once you give your heart you are devoted. So you do not lose yourself by depending too much or accommodating everything, practise saying what you want.

Work and money

Work that tends to people's hearts suits you: education, counselling, social welfare, writing, art. Money comes naturally as expertise and connections grow, more than by chasing it.

Cautions and advice

With so much water your roots can drift, so you may postpone decisions or be carried by the current. Set plans and standards like solid ground (Earth), and lift your energy with sunny (Fire) activities, and the flower will bloom fully.

Day pillars that click, and day pillars that clash

Stems and branches both combine: 庚寅 Geng 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: 辛巳 Xin 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 Yi Hai day come around?

Day pillars run in a sixty-day cycle. From October 2026 to the end of 2027, 乙亥 Yi Hai days fall 13 times: Sun, Dec 27, 2026; Thu, Feb 25, 2027; Mon, Apr 26, 2027; Fri, Jun 25, 2027; Tue, Aug 24, 2027; Sat, Oct 23, 2027; Wed, Dec 22, 2027; Sun, Feb 20, 2028; Thu, Apr 20, 2028; Mon, Jun 19, 2028; Fri, Aug 18, 2028; Tue, Oct 17, 2028; Sat, Dec 16, 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 Yi Hai day pillar

• 2026, the 丙午 Bing Wu year: the stem 丙 is your Hurting Officer and the branch 午 is your Eating God, 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, the 丁未 Ding Wei year: the stem 丁 is your Eating God and the branch 未 is your Indirect Wealth, 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 month by month

Saju months change at the solar terms, not on the 1st. For a Yi 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 Yi 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.
