Nine Uglies Day (九丑日): A BaZi Spirit-Star

Definition

Jiu Chou Ri (the Nine Uglies Day) is an inauspicious **day-pillar** [spirit-star](/bazi/glossary/shen-sha) — nine specific day pillars, traditionally signifying amorousness inviting trouble, prone to romantic entanglement or upset over love and face. This site judges it from the **day pillar**.

Derivation

The Nine Uglies are nine specific [day pillars](/bazi/glossary/gan-zhi): Wu-Zi, Wu-Wu, Ji-Mao, Ji-You, Ren-Zi, Ren-Wu, Gui-Mao, Gui-You, Xin-Mao (schools vary slightly). This site judges it by the engine's rule.

Meaning and Use

- Signifies rich feeling, a tendency to attract romantic trouble, or upset over love, face, and relationships. - With [Peach Blossom](/bazi/glossary/tao-hua) or [Red Beauty](/bazi/glossary/hong-yan-sha), the romantic color deepens. - A neutral-to-inauspicious marker; whether it manifests depends on the whole chart and self-management — charm itself can be an asset.

Common Misconception

**"Those born on a Nine Uglies day have a chaotic love life."** It is a tendency-cue to take more care in love and relationships, not a fated romantic disaster.
