Blue Rabbit (Yi Mao): Personality and Matches
Hongsimdang Editorial Team · Last updated
Blue Rabbit (Yi Mao) is the day pillar where flowers and vines that bend with the wind (乙) rests on spring flowers and grass (卯). In short, it holds steady at the center and heads straight in the direction you choose.
What decides the Blue Rabbit: day stem and day branch
Your day pillar is the stem and branch of the day you were born: the upper character is the day stem and the lower one is the day branch. For Blue Rabbit (Yi Mao), the day stem is 乙 (Yin Wood) and the day branch is 卯 (Rabbit). The “Blue” in the name is the color of the day stem’s element, and “Rabbit” is the zodiac animal of the day branch. Both are Hongsimdang’s own labels.
The day stem 乙 is likened to flowers and vines that bend with the wind. You adjust to your surroundings so smoothly that by the time anyone notices, your roots are already deep. The day branch 卯 is spring flowers and grass. The Rabbit is popularly pictured as gentle, sociable and attuned to beauty, but that is the folk image of the zodiac. The actual reading comes from the element relationship and life stage that follow.
Read as elements, your stem and branch form a matching pair, with the same element on both sides. Because your day stem and day branch point at the same element, the face you show and what you feel inside tend to agree, and your center is hard to shake. The branch 卯 also holds the hidden stems 甲, 乙, which lay another side beneath the one that shows.
Seen from your day stem 乙, the day branch 卯 sits at the Prosperity (Jian Lu) stage of the twelve life stages. It is the stage of earning your own living, so independence and practical reserves are stable.
How the Blue Rabbit shows up at work
Your stem and branch pull the same way, so once a direction is set you rarely hesitate, and you work best where roles are clear. You are more likely to clash with a boss who rewrites the plan midstream, or a workplace whose standards change from day to day.
Warmth and a sharp sense of atmosphere make you strong in coordinating, design and hospitality, where you smooth things over before a clash. You fit in so easily that your own standards slide to the bottom of the list, and you rarely say so when you are worn out.
You avoid friction and keep putting up with things, then pull away suddenly once the resentment builds.
Sleep on a request before you agree, and decide ahead of time on one way of declining that sounds like you.
How the Blue Rabbit shows up in relationships and love
What you show and what you feel sit close together, so affection and irritation both tend to appear on your face. Because your will runs in one direction, someone just as stubborn can turn things into a contest. A partner who can say “let’s pause for a moment” is more likely to last.
You are good at softening a mood, but you tend to swallow complaints and speak up a beat too late.
A calm person who listens to even your small honest feelings is a good fit, and so is a relationship where you can practice saying no without guilt.
How the Blue Rabbit handles money
Your spending follows your convictions, and you will put a sizable sum behind anything you believe in. With joint investments or loans, being that invested makes it hard to stay detached, so agree on the rules in advance.
Money grows best for you through connections and small openings picked up one at a time, not through a single all-in bet.
Spending on social life, grooming and anything that pleases your senses tends to grow, and the budget line gets loose wherever you are fond of something.
Day branches that harmonize with the Blue Rabbit and ones that clash
The day branch of Blue Rabbit (Yi Mao) is 卯 (Rabbit). Which day branch the other person has decides the relation between your two branches, as shown below. A day branch that is not listed has no direct harmony or clash with yours.
| Their day branch | Relation between branches | How it reads |
|---|---|---|
| Rabbit (卯) | Same day branch | like with like |
| Goat (未) | Triple Harmony partner | moves in the same direction, and the group is complete once a third branch joins |
| Dog (戌) | Six Harmony | pulls together and fills in |
| Pig (亥) | Triple Harmony partner | moves in the same direction, and the group is complete once a third branch joins |
| Rat (子) | Punishment | rubs, so friction is likely |
| Dragon (辰) | Harm | small misunderstandings pile up |
| Horse (午) | Break | cracks are likely |
| Monkey (申) | Resentment / Ghost Gate | attracts yet irritates |
| Rooster (酉) | Clash | head-on opposition |
Harmony, Clash, Punishment, Harm, Break and Resentment are relations fixed mechanically by the pair of branches. They say nothing about anyone’s character being better or worse.
2027 (Ding Wei year) and the Blue Rabbit
2027 is a Ding Wei year. The year’s stem and branch change over at the start of spring, around February 4, 2027. The Ding of 2027 is energy that flows out of your day stem naturally, so giving shape step by step to what you like, or letting your expression and making spread gently, is likely this year. The year branch Wei has no direct Six Harmony or Clash with your day branch, so the color of this year shows mainly in its relation to your day stem.
What the day pillar alone cannot tell you
The day pillar is one of the four pillars of a chart. The year, month and hour pillars, the ten-year luck cycles, and Zi Wei Dou Shu and Western astrology readings are not included on this page. Two people with the same Blue Rabbit can show it differently depending on their other pillars, and your day pillar alone does not settle personality or fate.
