Dear Cecil,

It seems that in Feng Shui, the 5 elements are always mentioned ; Earth, Wood, Metal, Water & Fire.

I have seen it in the compass method where each sector of house is divided according to the elements.

I have also seen it in Bai Zi method where dob is analyse based on the same elements.

I have also seen it been analyse in the Chinese nameing method eg. surname "hong" contains the water elements.

My question : can a shortage of one element from one analysis method be replace/enhance through another method.

For example: if I belong to "weak earth" from Bai Zi , I should logically enhance fire or metal right ? If my name have sufficient metal or fire elements , does that help ? If my name have earth does that strengthen my weak earth in Bai Zi ?

Does naming has anything to do with Feng Shui ?
