    The Five Elements
    The animal corresponding to the year you were born is only one part of
    your Chinese zodiac profile; the philosophy of the Five Elements is
    another. Drawn from the Chinese concept of Wu Xing, or Five Element
    Theory, this doesn’t refer to chemical elements, but to types of
    influencing energies that affect each other through interactions. While
    Western astrology incorporates beliefs about the four elements of earth,
    air, fire, and water, the Five Elements of the Chinese zodiac are metal,
    water, wood, fire, and earth.

    An illustration of how the Five Elements interconnect with each other.

    The Five Elements impact the Chinese zodiac in several ways. After
    you've located your Chinese zodiac animal, finding the element for your
    birth year will tell you more. Each zodiac animal also has a “fixed,” or
    permanently rooted, element that they’re governed by no matter what
    the year. For example, while 2021 is the Year of the Metal Ox because it’s
    affected by the “mutable,” or varying, element of Metal, the Ox’s fixed
    element is always Earth.

    Here are the Five Elements’ basic meanings, according to The Guide to
    Chinese Horoscopes, and how to find your element:

    Metal

    Birth years: Last number of your birth is 0 or 1


    Associated with: “solidity and willpower"

    Water

    Birth years: Last number of your birth is 2 or 3


    Associated with: “responsiveness and persuasion”

    Wood

    Birth years: Last number of your birth is 4 or 5


    Associated with: “imagination and creativity”

    Fire

    Birth years: Last number of your birth is 6 or 7


    Associated with: “passion, and bursts of dynamic energy”

    Earth

    Birth years: Last number of your birth is 6 or 7


    Associated with: “down-to-earth qualities that encourage focus and
    commitment to achieving goals.”
