Five Element Cures (Wu Xing)

Dear Rose, What you have described is based on the Eight Aspirations or Life Aspirations or Associations. It is based on interpretation of each of the Eight Trigrams. As each of the Trigrams has a direction, therefore many Feng Shui authors like to write about it in their books. Like you have cleverly deduced, that it is too general and does not take into account NOT even a person's Gua number, and thus more easy for book authors to write about. Even the Eight House Theory takes into account our personal Gua number and thus, it can be considered to be personalised to each of us. But the Eight Aspirations or associations e.g. South-West = Romance or Relationship is too gen…

Dear Rose, Thanks again for your observation skills! -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'five-element-cures' suppressed 'five-element-cures' suppressed> Date: Saturday, May 08, 1999 4:24 PM Subject: 5-Element Associated Behaviours / Symptoms I have actually covered this in the Applied Feng Shui course. Briefly, this `observation' is based on the Yin and Yang theory. For example if you take salty food.. (which is Yang) you tend to need liquid (Yin). If a person sufffers a heart attack (Yang) one needs Rest (Yin). The above is based on the philosophy of Tai Ji. Yes, this makes sense. You have correctly explained it using the Five Ele…

Dear Davis, Please read below:- -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'five-element-cures' suppressed 'five-element-cures' suppressed> Date: Saturday, May 08, 1999 10:13 AM Subject: Re: Applications of 5-Element Cures Yes, which is why normally I consider metal in your situation as neutral. Why? Simply because you are earth, in the cycle metal plays exhaution role. In another scenario it plays as destroying wood (your destruction element). In another role it plays as supporting to water. So you see at any one time an element has at least 3 different roles. It is good for you if you are strong, why? Because if you are strong earth, althoug…

Dear Michelle, As a novice, you can feel your way around by doing what you have done... to do check the degree of suitability of your home with your personal `kua' using the Eight House Theory. I am not sure if you have read this url: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm as it provides a step-by-step guide as how you can `quickly' do a Eight House Audit of your home. In this step-by-step guide the following are what you can do:- 1. Firstly, find the centre of the house. 2. Mark it down on a copy of your house layout plan. 3. Stand in the centre of the house and from this position, use an ordinary compass and find out the direction of the main entrance door. If your door …

Dear Davis, Thanks for your additional information its of definite help:) SE = Wood SW = Earth Yes, with this new information, it is an EXCELLENT choice to `change' you=r main entrance door to the South-West (bearing unforseen circumstances in relation to the Flying Star birth chart of your house):- If you use the SW as your main door:- 1. This will be your Excellent direction and is the best choice for your main door. 2. Being weak Earth person, since the 1. The Excellent Direction at your main door. 2. Since your Main Entrance will be SW, which is the SW, you will benefi=t by it as the house element is of the Earth element and this will further strengthen your weak Eart…

Dear Michelle, Sorry, can you clarify how you derive " Water & earth in my living room " is it because one part of your living room has the Water (North) and I assume North East is the (Earth)? Usually when we apply the 5 elements concept we do not have a `pairing' like what you suggested e.g. earth or water, metal and fire. But rather, a more accurate way is check a person's main element and strength. For example if the person's main element is Strong Fire and his bedroom is located at the North. We can introduce the colour blue in his bedroom to cool down his strong fire. This is based on the Principle of equilbrium i.e. a person's element should not be either Stron…

Dear Sharron, No, it does not mean that. You can still wear red if you want to. Five elements is in itself a complex theory. One should try to gain balance from the various elements. For example, if from the Pillars of Destiny you find that you lack of Earth. Then the best personal cure to apply is to wear Earth colour clothings to gain back the balance. It is like saying a human body, should have a well balance food diet. Too much of sugar, salt, etc is not good right? But without any sugar and salt, your body will also complain right? So the essence of the Five Element is to allow a balance in you. This means that even if a certain amount of element is bad for you, this…
