1995: Year of the Wood Pig
In the Chinese sexagenary calendar, 1995 is 乙亥 — Yin Wood over the Pig 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: 亥 — Year of the Pig
The Pig is warm and generous — easygoing, sincere, and genuinely glad to share what it has.

This is the story every Pig year shares
The stem and branch of 1995 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.
