The classic side · 地支 Earthly Branch
亥 Hai · The Pig
亥 begins winter (立冬): the vast ocean (壬), with great trees (甲) already born beside it (Wood’s 長生). Generosity, sincerity, depth of feeling and a large appetite for life — and the wisdom to rest when the season turns.
The spirit animal: A pale-blue wild boar of light on a winter shore of great waves and bare trees.
