Fixed elements
Water Pig, metal Rooster
generating · controlling
The Rooster’s metal carries the Pig’s water — the image is dew that gathers on cold metal. On the generating cycle the Rooster gives and the Pig 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.
