1945: Year of the Wood Rooster
In the Chinese sexagenary calendar, 1945 is 乙酉 — Yin Wood over the Rooster branch.
The Heavenly Stem: 乙 (Wood)
Yin Wood is the vine or garden flower — flexible, adaptive, and better at bending around a problem than confronting it head-on.
The Earthly Branch: 酉 — Year of the Rooster
The Rooster is precise and observant — candid to a fault, with a sharp eye for exactly what's out of place.

This is the story every Rooster year shares
The stem and branch of 1945 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.
