Feng Shui Elements Based on Birthday
From LoveToKnow Feng-Shui
Feng shui elements based on birthday may help you understand some of the influences that shape your life. For greater detail you’ll need a Ba Zi analysis.
Ba Zi Analysis
The Ba Zi analysis (Eight Characters or Four Pillars) determines your weak and strong elements. A Ba Zi analysis takes into account not just your birthday (month, day and year – Heavenly Stem) but also the hour of your birth (Earthly Stem) and is combined with your Flying Star analysis.
Good and Bad Luck
The eight characters are paired into good and bad luck which are called pillars. Therefore, you would have a strong and weak element. For example, you could have a strong water element but your weak element could be fire. In this case, you’d need to reinforce the fire element in order to balance your life chi. A good feng shui cure would be to add wood and earth elements to attract more fire into your life.
You can understand what main element governed the year in which you were born and any influences it has over you without a Ba Zi report.
Understanding the Five Elements
The five elements are dependent upon each other in order to maintain the balance of chi. Below is the order in which the five elements continuously cycle in balanced chi.
- Water – Nourishes plant life
- Wood – Produced from water
- Fire – Feeds on wood and produces ash
- Earth – Ash turns to earth and produces metal
- Metal – Draws water and the cycle starts over
