The Chinese zodiac element affects most people in a certain way. For instance, if you were born in a Fire year, then the traits of Fire Rabbit will be different from the Wood Rabbit.
Fire (birth years end numbers 6 and 7)
Fire is an aggressive element, which means its people are straightforward and passionate. Although they can be leaders, those born with this sign still have negative traits such as vanity, jealousy, and frustration.
Earth (birth years end in numbers 8 and 9)
Earth is a practical and reliable element, but it also has characteristics associated with compassion, empathy, and honesty. According to Levitt, nourishing themselves is very important for those Earth elements.
Metal (birth years end in numbers 0 and 1)
Levitt noted that those born with Metal are determined and powerful. They can be very focused and independent, but they can also be unrelenting.
Water (birth years end in numbers 2 and 3)
Like the Western zodiac, Water is known for being creative and sensitive. Individuals born in a Water year are more likely to attract social contacts and family members.
Wood (birth years end in numbers 4 and 5)
Wood is known for its positive energy and passion. According to Levitt, people with this sign are prone to suffering from negative emotions, but they can also learn how to control their anger and develop a positive outcome for other people.
