How your year is formed
In Saju every year has a heavenly stem and an earthly branch. 1957 is 丁酉: the stem 丁 is Fire Yin ("The Candle": the small flame that warms and guides) and the branch 酉 is the Rooster. Together they make the year of the Fire Rooster.
Your element and your animal
The element of the year (Fire) moderates the animal's element (Metal): a creative tension that asks for balance and often gives personality.
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.
