辛亥 · 六十甲子第 48 位
Xin Hai (辛亥) is number 48 in the cycle of sixty stem-and-branch pairs that numbers years, months, days and hours: the stem Xin (辛), yin Metal, on top of the Pig branch, Hai (亥).
What these words mean
- BaZi (八字): Chinese "four pillars" astrology. The moment you were born is written as four pillars, for the year, the month, the day and the hour.
- Pillar: a pair of symbols: a stem written on top and a branch below it. Your year pillar is the pair for your year of birth, and your day pillar the pair for your day of birth. Four pillars make eight symbols, which is what BaZi means: "eight characters".
- Stem (天干, Heavenly Stem): the top symbol of a pillar. There are ten. Each is one of the five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) in its yang or its yin form.
- Branch (地支, Earthly Branch): the bottom symbol of a pillar. There are twelve, each with an animal sign. The branch of your year pillar is your zodiac animal.
- Yang and yin: the two forms of each element. Yang is the bigger, bolder form (Wood as a towering tree), and yin the finer, gentler one (Wood as flowers and vines).
- Day Master (日主): the stem of your day pillar. It stands for you, and the rest of the chart is read in relation to it.
- Hidden stems (藏干): every branch holds one to three stems inside it. The strongest is called its principal qi (本气). The others are its middle qi and residual qi.
- Ten Gods (十神): the names for how any stem relates to your Day Master, such as Direct Officer or Rob Wealth. Each one stands for a part of life: work, money, people or support.
- Growth stages (十二长生): twelve stages, from Birth through Zenith to Tomb and on to Gestation, that describe how strong a stem is on a given branch, like the stages of a life.
- The Void (空亡): the two branches that a group of ten pillars leaves out. Whatever falls on them counts for less, good or bad.
- Nayin (纳音): an old element name, such as Gold in the Sea, that each pair of neighboring pillars in the cycle of sixty shares.

Xin Hai: yin Metal on top of the Pig branch
纳音、旬与空亡 Nayin, group of ten and the Void

| 所在旬 Group of ten | 甲辰旬，旬中第 8 位 The group headed by Jia Chen, number 8 of 10 |
| 空亡 Void | 寅卯（甲辰旬十干配不到的两支） the Tiger branch, Yin, and the Rabbit branch, Mao |
The sixty pillars run in six groups of ten, each headed by a Jia (甲) pillar. Xin Hai is the eighth pillar of the group headed by Jia Chen (甲辰). Ten stems pair with only ten of the twelve branches, so each group leaves two branches out. Here they are the Tiger branch, Yin (寅), and the Rabbit branch, Mao (卯). These two are the group's Void (空亡): whatever falls on them counts for less, good or bad. The nayin (纳音) of Xin Hai, the old element name it shares with its neighbor in the cycle, is Hairpin and Bracelet Gold (钗钏金).
辛亥作日柱 As a day pillar
生在辛亥日，日主是辛金，坐在亥上。辛在亥的十二长生是“沐浴”；亥中藏壬（本气），对辛是伤官；甲（中气），对辛是正财。日支又称夫妻宫，所以这几个字也落在婚姻那一宫。
If you were born on a Xin Hai day, your Day Master is Xin (辛), yin Metal, and it sits on the Pig branch, Hai (亥). In the twelve growth stages, Xin Metal on the Pig branch is at Bathing (沐浴): young, unsettled energy. The Pig branch holds two hidden stems. Ren Water (壬), its principal qi, is your Hurting Officer, which stands for self-expression, talent on display and a streak of rebellion against rules. Jia Wood (甲), its middle qi, is your Direct Wealth, which stands for steady income earned by work, and in a man's chart for the wife. The day branch is called the spouse palace, so these stems bear on your marriage.
与辛亥天克地冲的是乙巳、丁巳：天干相克，地支相冲。
Two pillars clash with Xin Hai on both levels at once (天克地冲): Yi Si (乙巳) and Ding Si (丁巳). In each, one stem controls the other, and the Snake branch clashes with the Pig branch.
