Element and character

Fire on the Mountain: bright and far-reaching, full of inspiration but prone to burning out. The year stem is Yang Wood, and the Dog is loyal and fair-minded, responsible, and hates dishonesty.

The Wood stem feeds the Fire element: there is a quiet inner source that keeps what you show the world going.
