FENG SHUI FIVE ELEMENTS

Yin & Yang - Fire Water Wood Metal & Earth

Another important aspect of Feng Shui is known as the five element theory. Each of us has an element that is the important one to us, although we are all made up of all five. These dominant elements change with the years and are regarded as YIN or YANG.

In which year were you born? What is the last number? If you were born in a year ending in 0 you are Yang Metal; 1 Yin Metal; 2 Yang Water; 3 Yin Water; 4 Yang Wood; 5 Yin Wood; 6 Yang Fire; 7 Yin Fire; 8 Yang Earth; 9 Yin Earth.

The Five element types can be summed up as follows:-

FIRE - The Adventurer - loves excitement and change, hates to be bored, should avoid heat.

WATER - The Thinker - loves knowledge and intellectual pursuits, hates to be vulnerable, should avoid cold.

WOOD - The Explorer - loves to be busy and purposeful, hates to lose, should also avoid windy places.

METAL - The Catalyst - loves to be precise and controlling, hates disorder and clutter, should avoid dryness.

EARTH - The Diplomat - loves people and to be of use, hates being ignored, should avoid damp.

You will also be affected by whether you are a YIN or YANG type of element. Yang types like darker, cooler houses while Yin types prefer lighter, more spacious accommodation. This is because we are always seeking the balance and harmony of the other.
