Edited by Robert: Merged two similiar questions from two posts into single post.

Dear Master,

Qn 1: Could you please advise what is the impact to a person whoworks in an industry belonging to his unfavourable element but the jobscope is of a favourable element? and vice versa?

Qn 2: I've read at http://talk.geomancy.net that fashion falls under Fire element and clothing falls under Earth element. Could you please explain what is the difference between clothing and fashion?

Thank you.

Regards,

Sharlene Soh

Of course that won't be as favourable as having both a industry and job scope that is favourable. So it will be a mixed element career.

As to whether good or bad, really depends on the element.

For example, a weak wood person, if the industry is metal, but the job scope is water. Metal destroy weak wood which would seem to be bad, but as water helps wood, and metal actually makes water stronger. Therefore, this industry helps to boost the job scope element, thus making it a suitable element.

So it really depends on how the elements interact with your element. Also, the percentage of element you lack of each element will make a difference. ie even if an element is unfavourable, but if your percentage is very low, some of it is actually good for you.

Quite simple really. Fashion is the art of creating something that is fashionable, quite similiar to like marketing a product or a clothing.Clothing is considered more of a material that is derived from the earth.

To be frank, even for careers depending on what exactly you special in the element can contain mixed element. The link shows the basic characteristics that we have broken down based on what we feel the word closely presents on it's own.

Hope that helps.
