2031: Year of the Metal Pig
In the Chinese sexagenary calendar, 2031 is 辛亥 — Yin Metal over the Pig 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: 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 2031 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.
