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