Each listed year runs from its boundary to the next one, and it depends on the convention. Early dates in the calendar year can belong to the year before.
About this year
Water quenches fire, and in 丁亥 the water is underneath: 亥, the Pig, is a water branch and 丁 is yin fire. The branch overcomes the stem. Calendars placed it at 1947 and 2007.
Oddly for a pair of fire and water, the 納音 is Earth on the Roof, a third element altogether. It is named along with 丙戌, the year before, and the handbook says energy has passed through all its phases and found its place. Such names belong to the place in the cycle and do not grow from the stem.
Where this text comes from
The 納音 name follows the Wikisource text of 三命通會, volume 1, the only witness we found for the full set of names. The polarity of the stems and branches and the generating and overcoming cycles follow 五行大義 volume 2.
