This date falls in the disputed window
It is after the Start of Spring but before the lunar new year, so the two conventions disagree: Goat by the solar-term rule used in divination, Horse by the festival rule. Printed tables usually show the second one.

Element balance of the eight characters
Two different “elements” are quoted for a birth year. The Water fate above is the traditional nayin (纳音) of the year pillar, which is what “Water of the Milky Way” means in folk astrology. The colours and counts below come from the stem and branch of each pillar, which is the method used for a five-element reading.

Hour of birth changes the hour pillar, and after 23:00 it can move the day pillar too.
