Element and character

Gold in the Sand: hidden value that shows once it is sifted. The year stem is Yin Wood, and the Goat is kind and sensitive, artistic and loyal to family.

The Metal element restrains the Wood stem: life tends to test you, and that is exactly what makes you resilient.

Your birth year is one pillar of four.
