Tiger
Yin Tiger
Yang Wood
East-Northeast · Gen Palace
The Tiger wants a hill worth charging and a truth said before it cools. Folk calendars change the animal at Chinese New Year (Spring Festival); BaZi changes the year pillar at Li Chun (Start of Spring). That split is common in late January and early February, and it is why a year mascot is a doorway, not a verdict. The hour pillar is still 25% of the picture.
