THE EFFECT OF METAL ELEMENTS ON THOSE BORN IN THE YEAR OF THE METAL

From birth to people born in the year of the Metal, the Metal gives the desire to work and act. Regardless of the astrological year of the animal, zodiac, and numerological influences, Metal gives a desire to work. If other indicators are also in favor of the desire to do work, then the metal has made the person a complete workaholic. If the other indicators bring the person more lazy personal character, and there is no ambition, then the year of the Metal will give this person at least a little desire to work. I will remind you that if you want to put together your own or someone`s personality using astrology and numerology, then you have to combine all the different indicators and analyze what is the balancing or amplifying factor. However, in general, people born in the year of the Metal are hard workers.

The year of the Metal makes the person born this year quite stable. This means that this person who carries the Metal with him from his birth will want balance and stability in his life. This person does not like big changes that come suddenly and unexpectedly. A person born in a Metal year likes things that are constantly moving upward, but so that they will be in control of what is happening.

Metal gives perseverance to people born in the year of the Metal, and if other astrological/numerological indicators also favor perseverance, this person becomes even more powerful in his actions thanks to Metal. Metal favors a strong top layer but it does not guarantee that the inside would be strong. This means that there are two kinds of people born in the year of the Metal – some who are strong both inside and outside, and others who are strong in front of people's eyes, but are internally weak. The metal gives a strong outer surface.

The people born in the Metal year are by nature organizers and have management characteristics. This strengthens the characteristics of the leader, especially when the first digit of the birth date numerologically carries leading properties. If not, the leader's characteristics are not so prominent.

Money or materiality is very important for the people born in the year of the Metal. It just needs to be in order and all material security must be secured. When the person feels a bit uncertain about his financial situation, then stress is easy to emerge.

This year will give people a very good ability to cope with difficult situations. Metal gives an unstoppable Aura field, which can be shaken, but it quickly returns to its place. In other words, Metal makes people resilient. The people born in the year of the Metal are stronger than others, even if they are passing through great lows, they can quickly get out of it.

Sometimes the person born in the year of the Metal may be stubborn, firm, and making compromises with him can only be dreamed of. People who are affected by the metal are constantly having emotions run up and down. Such emotions relate to stubbornness and not stubbornness. It's very hard for others to have an impact on people born in the year of the Metal when they have taken a firm stand.

Other people perceive the Aura field of those born in the year of the Metal. Metal radiates emotions outward, which means that other people have an opinion quite easily about them. There are two kinds of opinions – there is a magnet that completely pulls them towards the people born in the year of the Metal or something that scares them away. Metal is strong and nobody will be left unnoticed by the person who was born in this year. This is also the reason why it's possible for the people born in the Metal year to feel that someone always has an opinion about them or he is always paid attention to.

The power of the metal increases independence and its need. Those people absolutely dislike that someone commands them or tries to control their life. Being independent is one of life's tasks for those born in the year of the Metal. The quicker it happens in their lives, the faster there will be luck in life. When they rely too much on people, there will be an inner struggle within themselves and with those people, they rely on. They may start to demand and use the people who provide comfort to them. That is why they must become self-sufficient so that they do not break close relationships.

On the negative side, the people born in the year of the Metal have been given the problem to express their romantic feelings. This requires a lot of work especially by those who do not carry the water element with their horoscope. Metal Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio are the most romantic ones. The other nine zodiacs need to do more work so that expressing, receiving, and sharing love can be prominent. Metal makes the soul cooler and thus this year does not let romance be expressed.

Regardless of the year of the animal, their lucky crystal is Pyrite for those born in the year of the Metal. Pyrite strengthens the good influences of the Metal year and balances its negative influences. The Pyrite brings materially good luck to those born in the Metal Year.
