Your Year Pillar
The Dog branch (Earth) feeds the Geng Metal stem (Metal) in the Five Elements cycle. This is a supportive structure — the foundation nourishes the surface, meaning your visible self is well-resourced by your underlying nature.
If you were born in 1970, your year pillar is Gēng Xū (Yang Metal Dog). The Dog animal gives you loyal, principled, protective qualities, while Geng Metal layers sharp determination and decisive cutting power on top. You're loyal by instinct, with the Metal stem adding decisive, action-oriented character.

Career & Direction
Your Metal stem suggests strong fit for precision work — finance, engineering, surgery, law, anything requiring exactness and structure. The Dog branch's Earth energy adds a layer of reliability and grounding on top. Career satisfaction tends to come from work that uses both layers — your visible drive and your underlying instincts — rather than just one.
Relationships
In relationships, Dog energy seeks someone whose actions match their words, every single time. Geng Metal's decisive, action-oriented character adds another layer: you tend to love through commitment — once chosen, your loyalty is unbreakable. Under stress, Dog energy can be anxious, distrustful, or cynical when wounded.
