Greetings Master Robert! Kindly accept my thanks for clarifying my previous enquiry on 'Birth Element Contradiction' - it throughly cleared my doubts. On a side note, please allow me to ask one final question which is related the my Day Element. I understand from the free online report that apart from my Day Element - Yang Fire - that there's also my Day Animal on the Earthly branch, which is Monkey for my case. So can i say my Day is effectively a Fire Monkey day? If that is the case, could you enlighten me which pillar will play a major/central role in my character and outlook in life? (ie our personality is influenced more by our day than year animal?) Asit seems rathercommon that people use their Year of Birth animal as a guide (Ox for my case) to study the Yearly forecast literaturepublished by numerous Fengshui Master every Chinese New Year in bookstores. So, is it that we should pay more attention to our Day element and animal instead of our Year animal, when it comes to yearly luck considerations? (As I have learnt from your informative website that the Day pillar plays the most important role in Bazi) Troubling you again but earnestly seek your education. Thank You! Sincerely, Ken
