How your year is formed
In Saju every year has a heavenly stem and an earthly branch. 1969 is 己酉: the stem 己 is Earth Yin ("The Fertile Field": the earth that nourishes in silence) and the branch 酉 is the Rooster. Together they make the year of the Earth Rooster.
Your element and your animal
The element of the year (Earth) nourishes the animal's own element (Metal): tradition describes it as natural support, an energy that flows in your favor.
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.
