Element and character

Fire in the Furnace: steady heat, strongest when it has something to forge. The year stem is Yin Fire, and the Rabbit is gentle and tactful, keeps the peace and values a calm home.

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

Your birth year is one pillar of four.
