How your year is formed
In Saju every year has a heavenly stem and an earthly branch. 1958 is 戊戌: the stem 戊 is Earth Yang ("The Mountain": the stability that supports others) and the branch 戌 is the Dog. Together they make the year of the Earth Dog.
Your element and your animal
The element of the year (Earth) and the animal's own element (Earth) match: the energy is reinforced and the character shows clearly. The challenge is usually not to overdo those same traits.
In Saju, the Earth element is associated with stability, care and patience. It is an image to recognize yourself, not a fixed label: everyone lives it in their own way.
