Fixed elements
Water Pig, wood Rabbit
generating · controlling
The Pig’s water nourishes the Rabbit’s wood — the image is rain on a growing tree. On the generating cycle the Pig gives and the Rabbit receives.
The fixed element belongs to the animal and never changes; the element of a birth year (wood, fire, earth, metal or water) rotates every two years — see the years below.
