1993 Chinese Zodiac Element: What Is It?
According to the Five Elements, those born in 1993 belong to the Metal element, specifically Sword Tip Metal (Kiếm Phong Kim), symbolizing the sharp, resilient edge of a forged sword.
The term “Water Rooster 1993” may cause confusion. In Chinese and Vietnamese Feng Shui, 1993 is defined by the Heavenly Stem Gui (癸 – Yin Water) and the Earthly Branch You (酉 – Rooster), forming the “Water Rooster.” However, the Na Yin (Five Elemental Phases) system assigns the Metal element (Sword Tip Metal) to this year’s stem-branch pair, meaning those born in 1993 are associated with Metal, not Water.
Individuals with Sword Tip Metal are intelligent, decisive, and exude a commanding presence, like a finely crafted blade. They possess sharp analytical skills and leadership qualities but may need to cultivate flexibility to harmonize with others.
