乙卯 Yi Mao Day Pillar: Flowers and grass covering the spring fields

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

Yi Mao is grass and flowers (乙) in the heart of spring (卯). Stem and branch are both Wood and the day branch is the Day Master's own Prosperity branch — the strongest soft-but-tenacious life force of all.

At a glance

Personality

Gentle and sociable, but proud and tenacious inside. You put down roots anywhere and spread among people with great adaptability. Sitting on a Friend, with Rob Wealth (甲) in 卯 too, you are determined not to lose in competition.

Love and partner

With a Friend in the spouse palace, you want an easy, equal relationship, like friends. You seem to go along, yet always keep your own way. Take care that comparison and competition do not seep into the relationship.

Work and money

Work where you mix with people and spread widely suits you: service, art, education, network businesses. Money comes from connections and consistency.

Cautions and advice

Gathered energy of one kind can harden into stubbornness and rivalry. You grow bigger when you share and cooperate. Advice and rules that prune your branches, like Metal, help you grow.

Day pillars that click, and day pillars that clash

Stems and branches both combine: 庚戌 Geng 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: 辛酉 Xin 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 Yi Mao day come around?

Day pillars run in a sixty-day cycle. From October 2026 to the end of 2027, 乙卯 Yi Mao days fall 13 times: Mon, Dec 7, 2026; Fri, Feb 5, 2027; Tue, Apr 6, 2027; Sat, Jun 5, 2027; Wed, Aug 4, 2027; Sun, Oct 3, 2027; Thu, Dec 2, 2027; Mon, Jan 31, 2028; Fri, Mar 31, 2028; Tue, May 30, 2028; Sat, Jul 29, 2028; Wed, Sep 27, 2028; Sun, Nov 26, 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 Mao 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. With your day branch: Break — a plan may go off course once.
• 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 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 Yi 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.

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.
