Element and character

Pine and Cypress Wood: tough, weathers storms, built to last. The year stem is Yin Metal, and the Rabbit is gentle and tactful, keeps the peace and values a calm home.

The Metal stem restrains the Wood element: you set high standards for yourself, which builds discipline but needs rest to balance it.

Your birth year is one pillar of four.
