Dear Masters,
I'm quite confused on the Elements...My date of birth is 11 Feb 69 (10.15am) and using the free report I found out that I'm a "weak fire" person. But I also realised that in my BA ZI there is no WATER and not sure if I need more water to enhance my luck ? If I wear blue shirt, blue car, paint my bedroom blue to enhance the water in my Bazi, isn't that going to further affect me as "weak fire" ? Cos water destroy fire ??? I'm not sure should I enhance fire or water....very confusing ! Kindly advise with great thanks !

Dear David,
In Ba Zi, the chief concern is on one's true element and strength. As this is determined from Pillars of Destiny (Ba Zi) in relation to the relationship of all other elements and the season in which you were born.
Thus, even if there is zero water element in one's Ba Zi, water does not equate the life `threatening' senario where we must have water to survive. Water is like any other components such as fire. Thus, in a senario where one has zero fire, it does not mean that we need to "go near" fire. Or eat `fiery' food or food considered as Yang or too much fried food stuffs.
Esentially, if you are considered as a "weak fire" person, then wood is considered the main ingredient for a weak fire person. Thus, wood e.g. green or brown can help a weak fire person `grow' stronger.
Note: The Five Elements concept is about balance:
Weak? Thus, if one is weak, one should try to strenghten it. Favourable elements are: wood and next favourable element is fire. It is more important to add wood to fire. While adding fire to fire is considered average.
Url on 5 elements concept: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm
(The Productive cycle is used here)
Once, one has wood to help fire, one can still have water e.g. blue. And one should not avoid it like the plague. Overall, it would then become a complete cycle if one uses all five elements.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
