How your year is formed

In Saju every year has a heavenly stem and an earthly branch. 1952 is 壬辰: the stem 壬 is Water Yang ("The Ocean": the depth that embraces and adapts) and the branch 辰 is the Dragon. Together they make the year of the Water Dragon.

Your element and your animal

The animal's element (Earth) moderates that of the year (Water): a tendency to hold back and organize your own energy well before acting.

In Saju, the Water element is associated with depth, adaptability and intuition. It is an image to recognize yourself, not a fixed label: everyone lives it in their own way.

Born in January or February 1952?
