What Earth adds to the Monkey
Earth produces the Monkey's Metal, supporting the sign's traditional ingenuity with a stronger attachment to practical means and usable results. This reading describes the Earth Monkey through experiments that solve an everyday problem, attention to available resources and a willingness to repeat a method once it proves useful.
The year’s visible stem is Wù 戊, Yang Earth; the Monkey branch 申 retains its fixed Metal element.
