The Year Pillar represents your social face, ancestral inheritance, and early childhood environment in the Four Pillars system.
The Year Pillar's Earthly Branch determines your Chinese zodiac animal sign (Rat, Ox, Tiger, etc.), which influences your social persona and generational characteristics. The Heavenly Stem adds element nuance. Together, they describe your relationship with society at large, ancestral karma, and the environment of your early years (ages 1-15). The Year Pillar also indicates how others perceive you in initial encounters.
TriAstra analyzes your Year Pillar in relation to societal and generational patterns, comparing with Saturn placement (karma and society) in Western astrology.
Understanding your Year Pillar helps you appreciate inherited family patterns, your public image, and how you naturally present yourself in social situations.
