The Meadow Pig

What a day pillar is

Of the four pillars in a chart, the day pillar is the one that stands for the person rather than their circumstances. It is fixed by the calendar date of a birth, which means it survives an unknown birth time intact — most people can find theirs without knowing the hour.

The Meadow Pig is the Meadow — yin Earth — standing on the Pig. The persona sets the material; the animal sets the ground it stands on. Neither half means much alone, which is why there are sixty of these and not ten.
