Lucky Element in Chinese Astrology Birth Chart

From Yin and Yang to Five Elements

The ancient Chinese YIN-YANG scholars believed that three are two natural, complementary and contradictory forces in our universe. The scholars named them YIN and YANG. YIN represents the female, negative, darkness, softness, moisture, nighttime, even numbers and docile aspects of things. YANG represents the male, positive, brightness, hardness, dryness, daytime, odd numbers and dominant aspects of things. YIN and YANG are continually in the state of flux and always looking for the BALANCE point. One moves, the other responds. Therefore, ancient scholars treated this phenomenon as a natural universal law.

These scholars also believed that our universe consisted of five basic elements, which are Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth. Everything, including humans, in the universe (between Heaven and Earth) must have a relationship with these five elements. So they tried to apply the five elements not only to every physical thing in the world, but also to Colors, Directions, Seasons and Sounds. They even applied the Five Elements to the Years, Months, Days, Hours, Minutes and Seconds of the Chinese Calendar. Now, people can discover their Five Element weights using their birth date and time. Based on the combination of these five-element weights, plus the concept of the natural phenomenon, they can tell the rise and fall of the human destiny (fate) cycle.

FIVE ELEMENTS does not only mean Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth. The "element" in Chinese also means MOVEMENT, CHANGEABILITY and DEVELOPMENT. These elements have their Yin and Yang sides too. They are moving, waning, waxing and changing all the time. Just like Yin and Yang, the movements of the Five Elements are slow and stable when they are in balance. If they are out of balance, then the movements are unstable and unpredictable. When a person is in a stable (five-element) environment, he should live peacefully. When a person is in an unpredictable environment, he is easily out of control. A person will feel lucky when everything is under control. A person will feel unlucky when everything is out of control. If you want to be a lucky person, you have to move to an environment that will bring your five elements into balance.

The Relationships of The Five Elements

In the fortune-telling system, we use Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth as the Five Elements to explain everything. Metal stands for mineral, gold, jewelry, iron, rock or something hard. Water stands for liquid or something cold. Wood stands for trees or something to do with wood. Fire stands for Sun, fire, heat, light or something hot. Earth stands for soil, dust or ground. There are affinity and enmity relationships between five elements.

The affinity relationship means supporting, helping, producing, etc.

We can say that:-

The enmity relationship means fighting, conflicting, rejecting, etc.

Chinese Astrology Birth Chart

Since the ancient scholars applied the Five-Element theory to Chinese Calendar, we can convert each birthday and birth time using Chinese Fortune Calendar.

There are four columns and eight Chinese characters. Chinese call this chart Four Pillars or Eight Characters. The Year column is the information about your ancestors or You at an early age. The Month column is the information about your parents or your growing years. The Day column is the information about you (upper character) and your spouse (lower character) or your adult age. The Hour column is the information about your kids or your later years. Because the Day column represents you, you are the black cow (water cow), not the brown tiger from year column.

From the Chinese Fortune Calendar, we can convert Eight Characters into Five Elements.

Finding the Lucky Elements

There are many ways (theories) to find Lucky Elements. Here are some simple ways. The basic concept is balancing the five elements.

Lowest Score

Find the lowest score for the lucky element. Metal has only 18, so Metal is the lucky element.

Foe and Friend

Foe is Money and Job, which give you pressure all the time. Mom is your friend always. If the scores from Foe are MUCH greater than the scores from You and your friend, then You and Mom are the lucky elements. If the scores from Foe are MUCH less than the scores from You and your friend, then Money and Job are the lucky elements. In the above example, the total of Metal and Water is 18+49 = 67 and the total of Fire and Earth is 30+226 = 256. Therefore the lucky elements are Metal and Water.

Cold and Hot

If the scores from Metal and Water are MUCH greater than the scores from any other elements, then the combination of five elements is "too cold" and the lucky element is Fire. If the scores from Fire and Earth are MUCH greater than the scores from any other elements, then the combination of the Five Elements is "too hot" and the lucky element is Water.

Bottleneck

If the score of Job is MUCH greater than the score of You, then the Mom is the lucky element to release the power of Job and give you more strength. If the score of You is MUCH greater than the score of Money, then the Kid is the lucky element to release the energy of You and make more Money for you.

Disease and Medicine

If we find a disease in the Five Element Birth Chart, we need to find the medicine to cure the illness. Please read the Disease and Medicine of Five Elements

How to Apply the Lucky Element to the Birth Chart

If the power of Money and Job is much greater than the power of You and your Mom, you were born poor because on the date of your birth You could not handle the power of Money. You can be richer when your lucky elements come into your life.

When you find the lucky elements in your columns of Year and Month, you were born into a good family, have a good relationship with them and your parents supported you in your early years. When you find a lucky element in the column of spouse (Day), your spouse helps you in your career, business or financial area. When you find the lucky elements in the Hour column, your children will do well in their life and/or you will enjoy a nice life in your later years.

If the power of You and Mom is much greater than anything else, you are a person with a strong will and good health. You can be a leader because you can handle the pressure, but you might hurt people like your spouse or father easily.

If the power of You and Mom is much less than anything else, you are weak on determination and easily get sick. You should be a team player. You shouldn't do business on your own, because you cannot handle the pressure unless the lucky elements come into your life all the time.

All the concepts here are based on the affinity and enmity charts of the five elements. You can think more clearly by following the natural law of the universe. To search for your lucky elements (Years, Days), go to the Five-Element Menu to get it. Remember you have your lucky elements and you have your bad-omen elements too. You can find your bad years from the Five-Element Menu too. To find the related lucky information, go to the Five-Element Chart.
