Why Fire Rabbit
Wood generates Fire in the Five Phases, so the Rabbit’s fixed element supports the year element.
The animal repeats every 12 years, while the stem-and-branch pairing repeats every 60. The element in “Fire Rabbit” comes from the year's heavenly stem; it is distinct from the animal's conventional fixed phase. Read the calendar glossary.

The solar year within it
25 solar terms
Solar terms track the sun rather than the moon, so they sit at almost the same Gregorian date every year while the lunar months move by weeks. A twelve-month year is about eleven days shorter than the solar year and so holds fewer of them than a thirteen-month one.
