Hi Master. I have a question regarding Ba Zi personal dressing colors. I understand the importance of wearing the most suitable colors according to our element needs, but it’s some times difficult to convince women and young children to follow that. So, I wonder if special jewellery with elements marks ( fire, water etc) could suit the requirements of Ba Zi, bypassing the limitations for the dress code.

Thank you

Hi Ludovico,

1. Ideally, the goal of feng shui is to harmonize yourself to your environment. And given that a person's luck is influenced by three forms of luck:-

1.1. Heaven Luck - Luck you are born with and supposed to have.

1.2. Earth Luck - Luck from your surrounding environment.

1.3. Human Luck - Luck from your relationship with others and own hard work.

2. Hence, there are many things around you that influence you. So ideally, you want to try to balance as much as possible where possible. However, you don't have to go overboard in that you look into the feng shui aspects of things. Feng Shui should be like find out the issues, fix it and move on with life. As ultimately, the human luck which depends on your own hard work plays the final influencing factor.

3. So as long as, find suitable house/sectors of rooms to use, or you fix up most of the issues such as the leaks and problems in the earth luck, activate the good areas in the home. Generally, everyone staying in the house will already benefit from it. Especially, when you fix up the sectors with colours to help balance the sector etc. Finding the best sleeping/work/study position for each person to use. This will already improve the luck as people spend time in the area. So this is something you can already do for your family without them having to do anything on their own.

4. As for the individual ba zi, yes colours/shapes of clothings etc are certainly something that's easiest to consider. This is again only one aspect, there is the career element, the people around you, favourable directions and so forth. So the goal is just to try to have more of certain elements etc. However where decor colour scheme of room/office/common area that they use are balance generally, even if you don't wear the favourable colours all the time, there is no big issue. 

5. In terms of feng shui, everything can be broken down into five elements. If you really want to do, this, you could also may consider some gemstones jewellery:-

• Garnet - Fire
• Amehyst - Fire
• Aquamarine - Water
• Diamond - Metal
• Emerald - Wood
• Pearl - Metal
• Ruby - Fire
• Peridot - Wood
• Sapphire - Fire
• Opal - Earth
• Topa - Earth
• Turquoise - Water

6. However, Feng shui is not about any specific items or jewellery etc. So you don't really have go to the extreme to specially make or wear a certain jewellery just to add the elements they miss. Generally, if you fix most of the feng shui issues especially the earth luck that should be enough. The rest, while it is good if they can follow, but it not, shouldn't be an issue as well. 

Hope that helps.

Warmest Regards
Robert Lee
