Cecil, my partner is born in 1958 (Earth
Dog year), but then in the Pillars of
Destiny report stating that he belongs to
Strong Wood. I am confused. Can you
explain further? Thank you.

Dear Max,
1. Yes, in a general `reading' taking into consideration one's YEAR of birth i.e. for those born between 18 Feb 1958 to 7 Feb 1959, the YEAR element is an Earth Dog.
2. Pillars of Destiny based on YEAR, MONTH, DAY and TIME of birth.
In the " Four Pillars" analysis, not only is the YEAR element i.e. EARTH-DOG is looked into but also the MONTH, DAY and TIME of birth.
Under Pillars of Destiny, the main important element is the MONTH of birth and the other variables i.e. YEAR, DAY and TIME are looked at in total.
Thus one can be a " EARTH - DOG " based on the YEAR of birth but, this is too general and has to be looked into in greater detail based on Pillars of Destiny.
Thus the resultant `true element' having taken into account NOT only the YEAR, but MONTH, DAY and TIME variables would yield say = STRONG WOOD.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
