Your Year Pillar
The Rooster branch (Metal) controls the Yi Wood stem (Wood). Your underlying nature constrains your outward expression — you may feel held back by something you can't quite name.
If you were born in 2005, your year pillar is Yǐ Yǒu (Yin Wood Rooster). The Rooster animal gives you precise, honest, organized qualities, while Yi Wood layers flexible adaptability and quiet persistence on top. You're precise by instinct, with the Wood stem adding flexible, adaptive character.

Career & Direction
Your Wood stem suggests strong fit for growth-oriented work — education, planning, organic systems, advocacy, anything that involves cultivating something over time. The Rooster branch's Metal energy adds a layer of discipline and precision 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, Rooster energy seeks someone who admires their standards but softens their self-judgment. Yi Wood's flexible, adaptive character adds another layer: you tend to adapt to your partner while quietly preserving what matters to you. Under stress, Rooster energy can be critical, perfectionistic, or vain.
Life Arc Right Now
You're early in your luck cycle. The patterns you set now — work habits, relationship templates, self-narratives — will compound for decades. Investing in self-knowledge here pays disproportionate returns.
