There are 10 heavenly stems and 12 earth branches form 60 groups. The element you often see is the element of the heavenly pillar. Each pillar rules 2 years, one Yin and one Yang. There is also another calculation, which is based on how the energy transits and transforms between the two years. The result of this calculation is the element which also rules those two years, besides the ruling element of the heavenly pillar.
