How your year is formed
In Saju every year has a heavenly stem and an earthly branch. 1937 is 丁丑: the stem 丁 is Fire Yin ("The Candle": the small flame that warms and guides) and the branch 丑 is the Ox. Together they make the year of the Fire Ox.
Your element and your animal
The element of the year (Fire) nourishes the animal's own element (Earth): tradition describes it as natural support, an energy that flows in your favor.
In Saju, the Fire element is associated with warmth, enthusiasm and self-expression. It is an image to recognize yourself, not a fixed label: everyone lives it in their own way.
