Yin Wood Goat

Every Wood Goat year joins the Heavenly Stem 乙 (Yǐ) with the Earthly Branch 未 (Wèi). In the 60-year cycle each animal only meets stems of its own polarity, so every Wood Goat is Yin.

The Yin Wood Goat creates in quiet sanctuary, drawing on deep inner reserves of imagination to produce work of subtle beauty and emotional resonance.
