What Fire adds to the Ox
Fire feeds the Ox's Earth, giving its traditional persistence a more expressive purpose and a stronger urge to make an effort count. In this reading, the Fire Ox works with visible conviction, takes a commitment personally and can find it difficult to slow down when others need further discussion.
The year’s visible stem is Dīng 丁, Yin Fire; the Ox branch 丑 retains its fixed Earth element.
