How your year is formed

Your element and your animal
The element of the year (Water) nourishes the animal's own element (Wood): tradition describes it as natural support, an energy that flows in your favor.
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.
