Is the 1970 Year Dog a Metal or Earth Destiny?
People born in the year of Geng Xu (1970) are classified as the Metal of Ornate Bracelet according to the Nai Yin Five Elements, clearly a Metal Destiny, not an Earth Destiny. This conclusion comes from traditional astrology's definition of Nai Yin: those born in the years of Geng Xu and Xin Hai are both classified as the Metal of Ornate Bracelet. Among them, Geng Metal is Yang Metal, symbolizing refined precious metal, strong and malleable, while the earthly branch Xu Earth is dry soil, which exactly provides support for Geng Metal, forming a "Earth Generating Metal" positive cycle.The characteristics of the Metal Destiny give 1970-year Dog people a calm and reliable nature. They are like refined metal, valuing promises and keeping faith, with a strong sense of responsibility for family and career, and they focus on long-term planning without rushing for quick results. The influence of Xu Earth also gives them practical traits, understanding how to steadily progress through accumulation.
It should be noted that although Metal and Earth generate each other, the dryness of Xu Earth may make their personality somewhat stubborn. If water elements are used to harmonize (such as using black or blue items daily), it can make the metal more gentle and smooth the flow of luck.
Some mistakenly classify the Dog as an Earth Destiny, mostly due to the influence of the earthly branch Xu Earth, but in the theory of destiny, "Nai Yin Determines Destiny" is the core basis, so the 1970-year Dog person is indeed a Metal Destiny, with Earth being just a supporting force rather than the main destiny.
What Does the 1970-Year Gold Dog Clash With?
The Dragon (Chen Earth) and the Dog (Xu Earth) form a "Chen-Xu Clash," which is the most direct energy confrontation. The Dragon's bold and enterprising nature conflicts with the Dog's calm and steadfast character, leading to differences in concepts during cooperation, and friction in life due to differences in values. The clash is not necessarily unmanageable, the key lies in "respecting differences." Through participating in gentle activities together (such as gardening or tea tasting), understanding can be enhanced, or wearing metal accessories (metal generates water) to buffer the impact.The Ox (Chou Earth) and the Dog (Xu Earth) form a "Chou-Xu Harm," which hides the energy of "same sex repelling." The Ox's stubbornness and the Dog's perseverance meet, easily leading to escalation of minor disputes, especially in family division of labor or financial planning, where conflicts may arise. The essence of the harm is "energy depletion," and during interactions, it's important to give each other space, avoid forcing changes on others, and place round ceramic decorations in the southwest (earth position) at home to enhance the inclusive energy field.
The Rooster (You Metal) and the Dog (Xu Earth) have a "You-Xu Harm," manifested as hidden friction. The Rooster's keenness and eloquence contrast with the Dog's quiet and reserved nature, leading to misunderstandings. The Rooster's constant chatter may make the Dog feel oppressed, while the Dog's silence may make the Rooster feel ignored. The harmful relationship requires emphasis on "proactive communication," expressing care and recognition daily, avoiding cold wars that accumulate conflicts, and wearing wooden accessories (wood generates fire which generates earth) to transform harm into harmony.
It should be emphasized that the clash is not "completely incompatible," but rather a reminder to pay attention to the way of getting along. In actual relationships, factors such as personality and environment have a greater impact. As long as you put effort into it, good relationships can still be established.
Daily Suggestions for Enhancing Luck and Harmony
In terms of Five Element harmony, wear silver or platinum jewelry (to enhance the purity of metal), or a black obsidian bracelet (water element to soften metal and earth), balancing the dryness; keep 1-2 black goldfish in the north (water position) at home, using water to soften metal and improve interpersonal harmony.
When interacting with the conflicting zodiac animals, those born in the Dragon should focus on common goals rather than differences, those born in the Ox should have regular honest exchanges, and those born in the Rooster should give more affirmation and encouragement to the other party. It's also advisable to develop the habit of "doing one good deed a day," such as helping the other person with a small task, to use positive energy to resolve the conflicting energy field.
In terms of mindset, when conflicts arise, silently recite the I Ching's "The earth is vast, and the gentleman carries all things with virtue." Accept differences with a tolerant heart. The Metal Destiny people inherently have a resilient quality, and as long as they do not stick to their own views, even the conflicting relationships can become opportunities for growth, making interactions more mature.
May you, in the course of time, shine brighter like refined metal after enduring trials, and accompany those around you with understanding, living a warm and firm life, with blessings always by your side.
