We all know that we are influenced by our sign. Depending on what month and day we were born in, our personality traits vary. But few people realize that the year we were born also has a big impact on who we are. Astrologers agree that especially the last number in the year of our birth is important. What does it say about you?

There are two main divisions. The year you were born affects you more than you think. What element influences you the most? And what kind of person are you? All of this can be determined by whether your birth year ends with a one, a two, or a completely different number.

The divisions of Chinese philosophy

Daniel Barrientos is just one of the many experts who deal with the division of persons according to this scale. It is based on Chinese Feng Shui theory with elements of Wu Xing. The human personality is influenced by the elements. And depending on which number ends the year you were born, you belong to one of the following categories:

  • 0-1: Metal is the element that signifies a scatterbrained, but also very resilient person.
  • 2-3: Water makes people sensitive, creative, but sometimes indecisive.
  • 4-5: Wood is a sign of growth and dynamism. People influenced by this element tend to be very optimistic.
  • 6-7: Fire signifies passion, impulsiveness and competitiveness.
  • 8-9: Earth is a sign of stability, patience and responsibility.

The element that supports you according to your birth year has a great influence on your personality traits. Of course, you can’t tell 100% what kind of person you are just by your birth year, but it says a lot about you.

What kind of person are you?

In addition to what element is the most important in your life, the year of your birth can also tell a lot about who you are. In fact, you can tell the following by the last number in it:

  • 1 (Natural Leader): These people are self-confident, goal-oriented, and want to achieve the best results at all costs. They are able to gain the respect of others and are recognized as an authority figure.
  • 2 (Moderate Diplomat): People born in a year ending in number 2 can find compromise and solve problems harmoniously. In work and personal relationships, they excel as team players.
  • 3 (Creative Soul): These are persons who have the gift of self-expression. Whether through music, writing lyrics, painting or dancing.
  • 4 (Stable Builder): People with the number 4 are practical and organized. In their personal and professional lives, they work on long-term projects with a clear goal.
  • 5 (Adventurer): The number 5 symbolizes freedom and adventure. These people have no problem adapting to new situations, often even seeking change.
  • 6 (Caregiver): Compassionate, kind and strongly attached to family and community. These are the caregivers who care primarily for their loved ones.
  • 7 (Truth Seeker): These individuals are fascinated with the spiritual, perhaps even a bit of the supernatural. They like to philosophize and find it challenging to seek answers to difficult questions.
  • 8 (Achiever): Persons associated with the number 8 are ambitious and have a flair for finance. They usually lead themselves and their loved ones to prosperity and success.
  • 9 (Humanitarian): People whose birth year ends with the number 9 are humanitarians. They want to improve the world and are energized by helping others.

Whether you look at the first scale or the second, you’re likely to discover something interesting about yourself. Although the number that your birth year ends with cannot completely determine your personality, it does have a big impact on what traits you have been blessed with.
