Dear Ber,

Originally, from what I understand that you mentioned that your animal sign is a `Dog'.

On the basis of the animal sign `Dog', under Chinese astrology, it's element is Earth.

The Chinese astrology dog is based on the Year of birth.

Thanks for clarification that you used the online report and it analysed you as a Weak Fire. This makes a " world of difference ' as the online report takes into account all eight pillars.

I therefore have to reply on what was given to me.

The earlier assumption is based on you as an Earth element person.

As you now mentioned that you are a Weak Fire person, yes, the colour green would be suitable for you as it helps weak fire grow.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
