Element and character

Earth of the Great Post Road: broad-minded, welcoming, builds slowly and surely. The year stem is Yin Earth, and the Rooster is hard-working and precise, honest, with an eye for detail.

The year's stem and the sound element are both Earth, so the character is consistent: what you think is what you do.

Your birth year is one pillar of four.
