What is the 2019 Chinese Zodiac Element?
According to the Five Elements system, those born in 2019 belong to the Wood element, specifically Flatland Wood (Bình Địa Mộc).
The term “Earth Pig 2019” can be misleading. While the Heavenly Stem “Ji” (Yin Earth) and the Earthly Branch “Hai” (Pig) combine to form this name, it doesn’t mean those born in 2019 have an Earth element. Based on the Na Yin classification, 2019 is associated with the Wood element.
Individuals with the Flatland Wood element are calm, sincere, and compassionate. Like grass thriving on plains, they flourish in favorable conditions, striving for growth and fostering harmonious relationships with those around them.
Chinese Zodiac 2019: Compatible and Incompatible Colors
Based on the Five Elements generating cycle, those born in 2019 (Wood element) are compatible with:
- Native element colors (Wood): Green, lime green – promotes prosperity and growth.
- Generating element colors (Water): Blue, black, navy – Water generates Wood, enhancing vitality and attracting wealth.
According to the controlling cycle, those born in 2019 should avoid colors associated with the Metal element: white, gray, silver, as Metal overcomes Wood, potentially hindering luck and positive energy.
2019 Chinese Zodiac: Personal Trigram
In Feng Shui, those born in 2019 have the Wood element (Flatland Wood), but their Personal Trigram depends on gender:
- Male Earth Pig 2019: Gen (Earth element), part of the West Four Trigrams. Males with Gen are steady, prefer tranquility, and often introspective, avoiding noisy environments.
- Female Earth Pig 2019: Dui (Metal element), part of the West Four Trigrams. Females with Dui are cheerful, lively, and appreciate beauty, though their directness may sometimes be misunderstood.
