How It Work |
 |
According
to Chinese astrology, our universe consists of five
basic elements namely Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and
Earth. Everything, including humans, in the universe
must have a relationship with these five elements.
So the five elements are applied not only to every
physical thing in the world, but also to the Colors,
Directions, Seasons and Sounds, Years, Months, Days,
Hours, Minutes and Seconds of the Chinese Calendar.
These elements, calculated from the date of birth
and time, gives valuable insights in addition to
their animal signs into the psyche of the person
concerned, their inherent tendencies and their personalities
in general.
