And each of these animals is ruled by one of the five elements: Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth. The combination of these two influences our lives, shaping our character and the decisions we make. Legend has it that Buddha summoned all the animals on earth and only 12 species appeared. The rat was the first to arrive.
