Hi Robert,
Is jewellery making and design catagorised under the "fire"or "metal" element? I've been given this contradicting interpretation from several feng shui experts and I'm none the wiser! My daughter
is a "strong water" and I understand her wealth element would be the fire element, thus the idea
of working with fire in forging jewellery(metal!) Would this suit her at all?

1. Frankly, look at it this way; just look around your home.
2. For example, no home unless it is a sterlie home can claim that it has "few colours".
3. For those with a family e.g. husband and wife and a kid or child; would see a myraid of colours in the home!
4. This is same as a career!
5. In the past; we may relatively say that a butcher is a butcher. And a soldier a soldier.
6. Nowadays, e.g. in a so called 3G army in Singapore; you even see soldiers flying those unmanned plane.
7. Thus, why limit to tunnel vision? Or one size fits all sort of thing?
8. Can't a career be or have multi-elements?
9. Thus; in fact, you may ask 10 Fung Sway experts; and each will give you different answers!
10. In the realistic world (not a theoritical world); jewellery making boilds down to two elements:-
11. The Industry she is in = METAL element
12. While as a jewellery MAKER; the interface to create = Fire as fire needs to melt the jewellery.
13. If sheis just part of the productionprocess; then one has to use the Management studies term; under the topic Strategic Management:-
14. Thus, her career is: INDUSTRY = METAL
PRODUCING A WORK = FIRE (HER TOOL)
15.But think again; if she is a designer of an art-work; thus give her some metal e.g. be it gold or purple gold etc. and she comes up with a beautiful work of ART? Why can't I call her a creator of an artwork. And under the Five elements concept = WOOD.
16. Frankly, there isno right or wrong answers, (Please). And neither one or theother expert isabsolutely right or wrong! It is how her career has being interpretted!
17. Given that there can be a loose interpretation of her career?
18. Don't you thinkthat it would be wonderful if someone says "I have the passion" for Jewellery making (careless of what others interpret for ME?).
19. Realistically, if one wakes up and don't feel like going to work everyday.. careless if that job specsis suited to my ba zi?
20. If I am now in Tokyo pondering over this..I would instead quickly like others take aflight back to Singapore! At least, I am doing something productive in my life.. Instead of trying to find the "right answer".Really unproductive...

If we go by the standards of Heaven; yes, Lawyers and Politicians should be considered as belonging to the FIRE element.
As in the eyes of GOD; they should burn in hell
