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
己酉 sets yin earth over the metal of 酉, the Rooster, and earth bears metal. The stem is the generating side in this pair. Some of its years are 1969 and 2029.
The 納音 Earth of the Great Post Road continues here. The handbook's closing phrase says it is fine and has nothing to do, a calm ending to a name that sounds like traffic. Stem and label share earth because of where 己酉 sits among the sixty.
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.
