Follow the Leader

[peiyi_22]

Hi,
I read somewhere in a fengshui book that if someone is an extremely weak element, Wood for example, what he needs is not Water, to strengthen it, but he has to follow the strongest element in his 8 characters, for e.g. Fire.
This seems to go against the usual logic, of Water to strengthen weak Wood. For an extremely weak Wood (e.g.), he has to 'follow' the lead of his strongest element. That is, no longer a Wood person, but a Fire (e.g.) one.
Any comments regarding this?
Thanks.

Dear Pei Yee,
1. This is based on another aspect of Pillars of Destiny Theory i.e. Follow the Leader Theory.
This is a different aspect of Pillars.
This is useful, only in very rare situations when certain ruleset fulfils. Where one follows the Follow the Leader Theory or Missing element concept.
Other than this, your default cure is still based on the Five Elements. This is the basic fundamental for all Feng Shui theories.
2. Essentially, you still need to follow the Five Elements Concept. Where one needs to seek a balance.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
