Gap-in Day Pillar: traits and personality

You call to mind the big tree that stretches toward the sky first in an early spring forest. Your thinking is direct and breezy, and you say what you want to say rather than talk around it. Companion sits in the Earthly Branch of your Day Pillar, so you have a strong sense that you choose your own road. Your Twelve Life Stage is Coming of Age, so you are remarkably independent and find your own place without leaning on anyone. Like a Tiger, you have a commanding presence, so you stand out even when meeting people for the first time. You are not afraid to go first, so you naturally end up leading at gatherings. You also have the drive to move straight toward a goal once it is set. Bowing your head, though, does not come easily to you.

What you do well

You have the courage to be the first to start anything. You are good at making your own way without anyone's help, and your words and actions match, which inspires trust. You have the reliability of an eldest sibling who leads and sets direction.

What to watch out for

Your pride is strong, so you may take other people's advice as interference. When you believe you are right, you do not slow down, and people around you can find it hard to keep up. Sometimes look back and match the pace of those walking with you.

In love

When you like someone, you do not hide it, and you make the first move. You have a strong urge to protect your partner, and in love you become a dependable support.

It helps to say honestly in advance how much distance you need.

Career and working style

Your skills come out best in positions where you decide and take responsibility yourself. Startups, freelancing and management roles leading a team, work where you hold the reins, fit you.

Making sure your colleagues get credit too builds even more trust.
