Dear Feng Shui Master:
I am confused. I am a female born on 5/5/1954 at 11:54 pm. According to one type of Feng Shui I am the element wood but when looking in the Ming Gua Reference chart, I am in Gua 8 - Earth and if I figure it by calculation of 1+9+5+4 = 1+9 = 1+0 = 1; 4 + 1 = 5 and according to them if your number is 5, you default to gua 2 - also Earth. There was also one place that said I was Fire.
Please tell me my correct element and the best house placement for me. I live in a rectangle house with a door located in the NW at this time.
Thank you for your help.

1. Your authentic bazi info is based on your day pillar heaven stem.

2. Often for other calculations, for convenience some geomancers simply use the year "pillar", and thus say that it is your bazi element.

3. This is not exactly wrong, just that it is soley inadequate.

4. Under authentic bazi, traditionally it is made up of Year, month, day, hour plus house of life and house of conception.
