What is the 1995 Chinese Zodiac Element?
According to the Five Elements system, those born in 1995 belong to the Fire element, specifically Mountain Fire (Sơn Đầu Hỏa).

Mountain Fire symbolizes a smoldering flame atop a mountain, harboring explosive potential. Individuals with this element are energetic, passionate, and dedicated, but they must temper impulsiveness to achieve lasting success.
