Frequently asked questions
Why are there 60 types?
Five elements times twelve animals make 60 combinations. Days follow this cycle of 60 in order, so every birth day belongs to exactly one type.
Is my Destiny Type the same as my year animal?
No. Your year animal comes from your birth year, which everyone born that year shares. Your Destiny Type comes from your birth day, so it is far more personal.
Which Destiny Type am I?
Enter your birth date on bornthis.day and your type is shown in a few seconds, for free.
Can two people with the same type be different?
Yes. Your type is the core of your chart, but your birth month, year and hour add their own elements, which is why your full reading is personal.
Which types get along best?
Types whose animals are “secret friends” or share a trine, and whose elements feed each other, usually click most easily. Each type page lists its best and hardest matches.
