Dear Cecil, Thanks for the detailed explation. You know what ? I have been using blue color as my primary color cos a few FS masters told me to use more blue color to enhance our missing water in my Ba Zi. I guess Green color should be my favourite color. Do you think I should stop having a fish tank at home and I should wear more green shirt and drive green car ? Kindly advise ! Thank you & have a nice day !

(2 of 2), Read 74 times Conf: Pillars of Destiny (Ba Zi /8 Characters Destiny) From: Cecil Lee Date: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 07:57 PM Dear David, In Ba Zi, the chief concern is on one's true element and strength. As this is determined from Pillars of Destiny (Ba Zi) in relation to the relationship of all other elements and the season in which you were born. Thus, even if there is zero water element in one's Ba Zi, water does not equate the life `threatening' senario where we must have water to survive. Water is like any other components such as fire. Thus, in a senario where one has zero fire, it does not mean that we need to "go near" fire. Or eat `fiery' food or food considered as Yang or too much fried food stuffs. Esentially, if you are considered as a "weak fire" person, then wood is considered the main ingredient for a weak fire person. Thus, wood e.g. green or brown can help a weak fire person `grow' stronger. Note: The Five Elements concept is about balance: Weak? Thus, if one is weak, one should try to strenghten it. Favourable elements are: wood and next favourable element is fire. It is more important to add wood to fire. While adding fire to fire is considered average. Url on 5 elements concept: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm (The Productive cycle is used here) Once, one has wood to help fire, one can still have water e.g. blue. And one should not avoid it like the plague. Overall, it would then become a complete cycle if one uses all five elements. Warmest Regards, Cecil
