60 Jiazi (六十甲子) Day Pillar Guide
The 60 Jiazi cycle pairs the 10 Heavenly Stems with the 12 Earthly Branches in a fixed sixty-step rotation. Every Day Pillar inherits a Nayin (納音) — a five-element metaphor (Sea Water, Mountain Fire, Sword Edge Metal, …) that names the energetic quality of that pairing. Find your Day Pillar below.
