1975: Year of the Wood Rabbit
In the Chinese sexagenary calendar, 1975 is 乙卯 — Yin Wood over the Rabbit 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: 卯 — Year of the Rabbit
The Rabbit is gentle and diplomatic — attentive to detail and to other people's comfort, often the one who keeps a room at ease.

This is the story every Rabbit year shares
The stem and branch of 1975 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.
