1941: Year of the Metal Snake
In the Chinese sexagenary calendar, 1941 is 辛巳 — Yin Metal over the Snake branch.
The Heavenly Stem: 辛 (Metal)
Yin Metal is the polished jewel — refined, detail-sensitive, and quick to notice when something falls short of its own high standard.
The Earthly Branch: 巳 — Year of the Snake
The Snake is perceptive and strategic — private by nature, and usually several steps ahead before anyone else has started thinking.

This is the story every Snake year shares
The stem and branch of 1941 describe the year itself, so they read the same for everyone born into it and everyone living through it. That is the group-level half. Your own chart also weighs your exact birth date, time, and location, which is what turns this into something specific to you.
