How Does The Combination Of Elements Affect You?

 

Initially, I planned to name this article "Where Did My Good Luck Go? ". But that sounded quite negative, as the information you are about to learn can go both ways. However, in the end, I hope that this will help you understand why a seemingly lucky period can be unlucky and vice versa.

Once you understand why, you will be able to more accurately determine how is your luck cycle like, and how to take steps to improve it. So let's begin. . .

A few weeks ago, a friend who just learnt some basic astrology came to me. He told me according to what he learnt, his favorable element was Fire, and that currently, he is going through a Fire period. The next 5 years was a Fire period for him according to his luck pillars. This means that his luck cycle should be good and things should be working out smoothly for him.

But. . .

It is the opposite. He is going through obstacle after obstacle. He got into trouble at his workplace because he was back stabbed. At home, he has problems with his wife. This period, he seems to be quarreling more with her.

I asked him for his date and hour of birth, so that I could determine what was the problem. He was born in December. It is true that his favorable element was Fire and Water was unfavorable to him. It is also correct to say that he is indeed going through a Fire period.

So what was the problem?

I soon found out why. It is true that he was going through a Fire period, but that Fire was represented by Snake. He was going through a Snake luck pillar. However, Snake can combine with Monkey to form Water. Indeed, there was Monkey in his 4 pillars, as well as Water in one of the Heavenly Stems. When this happens, the Snake becomes Water instead of Fire.

This explains why his luck cycle was down. His favorable element became his unfavorable element. This is a slightly more advanced stage of Chinese Astrology, where the elements can change. But in order for the elements to change, a condition must be met. If this condition is not met, then the elements will remain as they are and not change.

For my friend's case, if there was no Water in any of his Heavenly Stems, then his luck cycle will be very smooth, instead of what he is going through now. In the next section, I will list out for you which are the set of animals which can combine and form a different element, as well as the condition that is needed for the transformation.

With this information in hand, you will be able to have a better grasp of your luck cycle. Here goes. . .

Rat (Water) and Ox (Earth) combine to form Earth, if Earth is present in the Heavenly Stems.

Tiger (Wood) and Pig (Water) combine to form Wood, if Wood is present in the Heavenly Stems.

Rabbit (Wood) and Dog (Earth) combine to form Fire, if Fire is present in the Heavenly Stems.

Dragon (Earth) and Rooster (Metal) combine to form Metal, if Metal is present in the Heavenly Stems.

Snake (Fire) and Monkey (Metal) combine to form Water, if Water is present in the Heavenly Stems.

Horse (Fire) and Sheep (Earth) combine to form Fire, if Fire is present in the Heavenly Stems.

As you can see, this can work for you as well as work against you. It can turn unfavorable elements favorable, as well as the other way round, depending on each individual. Usually, when an unfavorable element turns favorable, it can mean that you encountered a challenge, but in the end, you benefited tremendously from it.

I wish you all the best in enhancing your luck cycle.
