The Creative & Destructive Cycle
Five elements operate in two main cycles: Creative (supporting) and Destructive (controlling). Wood feeds Fire → Fire creates Earth → Earth bears Metal → Metal carries Water → Water nourishes Wood. Understanding these cycles helps you arrange feng shui, choose stones, colors, and directions.
How to Find Your Element by Birth Year
Your feng shui element is determined by the last digit of your birth year: 0-1 → Metal, 2-3 → Water, 4-5 → Wood, 6-7 → Fire, 8-9 → Earth. For example: born in 1990 (ends in 0) → Metal element. Each element has its own lucky colors, feng shui stones, and favorable directions.
