How your year is formed
In Saju every year has a heavenly stem and an earthly branch. 1994 is 甲戌: the stem 甲 is Wood Yang ("The Great Tree": the tree that opens the way) and the branch 戌 is the Dog. Together they make the year of the Wood Dog.
Your element and your animal
The element of the year (Wood) moderates the animal's element (Earth): a creative tension that asks for balance and often gives personality.
In Saju, the Wood element is associated with growth, flexibility and a desire to learn. It is an image to recognize yourself, not a fixed label: everyone lives it in their own way.
