A Pruning Shears Year, Refined Editing Elevates Growing Things
Yin Metal Rabbit years, the 28th year energy in the sixty year sexagenary cycle.
The element and the Yin or Yang in this year name come from the year stem, and the year stem changes every year. The Rabbit is separate. Its own fixed element is Yin Wood, and that never changes.
