Hi' Master,

My name is Kwan Chee Kiong born in 20/01/1960.

I have consulted a geomancer and was told that my element is fire. But when I refer to some book on Feng Shui it states that the element is earth. I was advice to change the colours of my house so that I have more wood & metal elements to compliment the fire element.

I am not sure now after reading the books.

Please advice...........

Thanks

Dear Chee Kiong,

Generally, the best way to determine your true birth element is to use Ba Zi day of birth element.

1. There are two ways to determine a ba zi element, the most basic way is to take the year of birth element. So most will take the fact that your Chinese Year is 1959 (Earth Pig), so your element may be considered as Earth element.

2. However, the problem is that even in the entire year ot 1959, there is still different element that a person may be born in depending on the day of birth. So the more accurate way is to consider the day of birth. This is because one can be a Strong water , weak wood born in an Earth Pig year. So the day of birth is more accurate for this point.

I believe the geomancer you consulted is probably using the day of birth based on the ba zi, while books are using the year element.

Feel free to use our free ba zi report to determine your ba zi element:-
