How your year is formed
In Saju every year has a heavenly stem and an earthly branch. 2006 is 丙戌: the stem 丙 is Fire Yang ("The Sun": the light that warms everyone) and the branch 戌 is the Dog. Together they make the year of the Fire Dog.
Your element and your animal
The element of the year (Fire) nourishes the animal's own element (Earth): tradition describes it as natural support, an energy that flows in your favor.
In Saju, the Fire element is associated with warmth, enthusiasm and self-expression. It is an image to recognize yourself, not a fixed label: everyone lives it in their own way.
