The Four Pillars

寅︎Yín — the Tiger

Earthly Branch · Tiger · Wood

The third Earthly Branch — the Tiger, early spring and the year's first stirring, rising Wood.

Yín reads as bold, forward energy: courage, initiative, and the confidence to be first through the door. It thrives on a real challenge, and does best when that boldness is matched by patience for the follow-through.
