How your year is formed

In Saju every year has a heavenly stem and an earthly branch. 1951 is 辛卯: the stem 辛 is Metal Yin ("The Jewel": the brilliance born of pressure and polish) and the branch 卯 is the Rabbit. Together they make the year of the Metal Rabbit.

Your element and your animal

The element of the year (Metal) moderates the animal's element (Wood): a creative tension that asks for balance and often gives personality.

In Saju, the Metal element is associated with order, precision and determination. It is an image to recognize yourself, not a fixed label: everyone lives it in their own way.

Born in January or February 1951?

Your Saju year starts on February 4, 1951 at 10:04 (UTC−5, approximate). If you were born before that moment, your sign is that of the previous year: 1950: Metal Tiger. If you were born after, it is that of 1951. The free calculator resolves it with your exact date and time.

What the Rabbit is like in Saju

The Rabbit (卯) symbolizes calm, elegance and sensitivity. It seeks harmony, cares for details and avoids open conflict. Beneath its apparent softness lies a great capacity for survival and adaptation.

It brings tenderness, care and a kind atmosphere. It needs emotional security and does well to voice its needs instead of expecting them to be guessed.
