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.
