I'm sorry, but your information is incorrect. 1. The Yin and Yang aspects in the fundamental birth element do not affect your favorable or unfavorable elements. 1.1. Likewise, Yin does not mean weak, nor does Yang mean strong. Therefore, Yin and Yang do not determine whether you are a weak or strong element. 1.2. Primarily, Yin and Yang help identify whether you are in one of the four states: greater Yin, lesser Yin, greater Yang, or lesser Yang. 1.3. I personally find this information useful for understanding personal characteristics. For example, a Yin type person might be more introverted, while a Yang type person could be more extroverted. 1.4. If a chart has an imbalance of Yin or Yang, those characteristics might shift. Greater Yin and greater Yang often exhibit features of the opposite due to their cyclical nature. Yin charts generally prefer Yang charts for balance, and vice versa. In short, these are the basic Yin and Yang states, compared to a more detailed understanding based on the balance of the five elements. 2. Whether you are a weak or strong person depends on the five-element percentage in your chart. 2.1. A "weak" person is one where the elements that strengthen you are outnumbered by those that weaken you. For example, for a weak Metal, favorable elements are Earth and Metal, while unfavorable ones are Wood, Fire, and Water. The goal is to enhance the weak Metal with supportive elements. 2.2. A "strong" person is one where the elements that strengthen you outnumber those that weaken you. For instance, a strong Metal benefits from Wood, Fire, and Water, and is weakened by Earth and Metal. The aim is to control the strong Metal with balancing elements. 2.3. In your case, it is clear you are a strong Metal. The total favorable elements (Metal, Earth, Water) comprise 81.8%, which is greater than the unfavorable elements (Fire, Wood, Water) at 66.7%, effectively canceling out Water in the equation. Your True Birth Element Total Favourable Elements (that make you strong) Metal (15.2%) + Earth (18.2%) + Water (48.5%) 81.8% > Total Unfavourable Elements (that make you weak) Fire (6.1%) + Wood (12.1%) + Water (48.5%) 66.7% = Therefore, you are a Strong Metal 3. If you don't know the balance of the five-element percentages, the default list of favorable and unfavorable elements usually applies. 3.1. However, to accurately balance your five elements, look at each element’s percentage in the chart. Generally, elements over 20% should not be excessively increased, while those under 20% should be increased. 3.2. By analyzing your favorable elements, you can determine the most and least favorable, as well as the most and least unfavorable elements. This advanced approach helps balance your chart accurately according to specific needs. 3.3. This method can identify special chart types, like "follow the leaders," but those can be confusing as they are based on chart examples and do not address individual needs. Using the five-element balance method clarifies what elements to add or reduce first. 4. Since you are a strong Metal, your favorable elements are Fire, Wood, and Water, while Earth and Metal are unfavorable. 4.1. In your Ba Zi chart, Fire is at 6.1%, below the ideal 20%, so you need more Fire. The five-element percentage determines this need, not Yin and Yang, as previously mentioned. 4 Strong Water 4 Extremely Weak Wood 1 Weakest Fire 2 Weak Earth 1 Strongest Metal 48.5% 12.1% 6.1% 18.2% 15.2% As Strong Metal, your favourable elements are Water (48.5%) / Fire (6.1%) / Wood (12.1%). Fire (6.1%) is your most favourable element. Wood (12.1%) is your next favourable element. Water (48.5%) is your least favourable element. As you have a lot of Water, having more won't benefit you any more. 5. Since the Fire element is the most lacking compared to Wood and Water, it becomes your most favorable element. This is how you determine which element you want to have more and which to avoid having more. 6. If you are unsure of the specific five-element percentages, it's generally beneficial to add Wood, Fire, or Water, as these elements can help balance a Strong Metal presence. 7. However, if you know the exact percentages of the five elements, you can fine-tune your strategy. With this knowledge, you might prioritize adding Fire first, followed by Wood. Since your Water element is already at 48.5%, which is significantly higher than the desired 20%, adding more Water would be less effective than focusing on Fire and Wood. This understanding of element percentages enables you to optimize your approach and enhance your luck. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi, 1. Honestly, I can't accurately assess your true ba zi element without examining your Ba Zi chart without the gender, date and time of birth info. 2. The reason assessments of your true element strength may vary is due to several factors: 2.1. The Ba Zi element is generally determined by the year pillar element, but it is more accurately identified by the day pillar element. 2.2. Some Ba Zi analyses only consider the four main pillars—day, month, year, and hour. However, they often overlook two additional hidden pillars (the House of Life and the House of Conception), which are equally important. Without considering these, it's difficult to calculate the correct number of elements present in the chart. 2.3. Often, practitioners do not accurately account for interactions between the pillars, such as clashes, harms, joins and combinations. Specifically, joins and combinations can sometimes transform an original element into a new one, altering the chart's elemental balance by removing the original element and introducing new ones. This can significantly affect the strength of the five elements in the chart. 2.4. Therefore, without a detailed and comprehensive assessment of the chart, it is common for practitioners to incorrectly determine the True Element. This discrepancy is why one practitioner might say your element is weak, while another might claim it is strong. 2.5. As a result of these inaccuracies, they may also miscalculate the five-element perentage, making it difficult to advise which elements you need more or less of to achieve a perfect balance, with each element ideally at 20%. For example, a Strong Metal can be strong because he have more Earth or more Metal or sometimes an equal amount of birth elements. Without the five-element percentage information, we can't advise you on which elements you need more or less of. For this analysis, you'll need the "Breakdown of the Five Elements Percentage" available in our Ba Zi expert review report, accessible through the link below. URL: https://www.geomancy.net/demoreports/bazi_v16_demo/bazi_demo_bazi_expert_review.html For example, here is a section extracted from the demo ba zi expert review report link: Your True Birth Element Total Favourable Elements (that make you strong) Fire (9.4%) + Wood (12.5%) + Earth (31.3%) 53.1% < Total Unfavourable Elements (that make you weak) Water (46.9%) + Metal (0.0%) + Earth (31.3%) 78.1% = Therefore, you are a Weak Fire Breakdown of the Five Elements Percentage 3 Strongest Water 1 Strong Wood 3 Extremely Weak Fire 5 Weakest Earth 0 Weak Metal 46.9% 12.5% 9.4% 31.3% 0.0% 3. To accurately determine your true element strength, you really need to consult the complete Ba Zi chart, like the one provided in our Ba Zi reference report under "Ba Zi Reference Technical Charts & Details." Without this information, it is impossible to accurately evaluate your elemental strengths. URL: https://www.geomancy.net/demoreports/bazi_v16_demo/bazi_demo_bazi_full_reference.html 4. In the meantime, you can use our free Ba Zi report available through the link below to help determine whether you are a weak or strong metal:- URL: https://freebazi.geomancy.net/ 5. Since our free report is not restricted in any way, the results will be identical to those in our comprehensive Ba Zi review. However, while the free report won't provide a detailed breakdown, it will indicate whether you are a weak or strong metal. Our comprehensive Ba Zi review will include all the detailed information and analysis. URL: https://www.geomancy.net/forums/store/product/21-personalized-ba-zi-life-reading-premium-with-monthlydaily-forecast-and-expert-review/ 6. Now to answer your this question:- 6.1. As mentioned earlier, we need the full report first to determine whether you have a weak or strong metal classification. 6.2. If it is confirmed that you are a Strong Metal, your favorable elements will generally be Water, Wood, and Fire by default. Water helps reduce the excess of Strong Metal. Wood weakens the excess Earth that strengthens your Metal. Fire reduces the strength of your Metal. 6.3. These are the default favorable elements. However, the specific element you need more or less of will depend on their percentages. For instance, if Water is at 0%, you will need more Water. If the Water percentage is 40% (>20%), you will need less Water. Therefore, the "Breakdown of Five Elements Percentage" chart mentioned in section 2.5 is crucial for helping you determine the balance of elements you require. This underscores why the need for more Water, Wood, or Fire is entirely dependent on the actual percentages of these elements. Without this information, it is difficult to determine whether you need more or less of a particular element. 6.4. Similarly, if it is confirmed that you are a Strong Metal type, your unfavorable elements will generally be Earth and Metal by default. Earth produces Metal, making Metal stronger. Metal enhances existing Metal, further strengthening it. 6.5. These are the default unfavorable elements. However, if the Metal element constitutes 40% (>20%) of your five-element composition, you should reduce Metal. Conversely, if the Metal element is at 0%, you may need some Metal, even though it is typically unfavorable. This should only occur when there is already a sufficient presence of Water, Wood, and Metal to balance your five-element percentage. However, you must not add Fire without first introducing sufficient favorable elements, as it could make your Strong Metal too powerful. 7. Consequently, without a comprehensive Ba Zi chart, it is not possible to explain whether you are weak or strong, or to determine which favorable or unfavorable elements you need in greater or lesser amounts. Ultimately, the objective is to achieve a perfectly balanced five-element chart to enhance and optimize your overall luck. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

1. That's the problem with many basic Ba Zi reports and novice practitioners often overlook the intricate interactions within a Ba Zi chart, particularly the combinations and clashes that occur. Additionally, many Ba Zi reports do not account for the hidden House of Life and House of Conception—two important pillars in the Ba Zi system. Properly assessing these interactions is crucial for an accurate understanding of the five-element balance and the true nature of one's chart. Therefore, they are often unable to determine the True Birth Element correctly. 2. In your specific Ba Zi scenario, the combination of the Heavenly Stem Year Pillar Wu (Earth) and the House of Conception Gui (Water) creating the new element which is Fire. This transformation results in an increase of two Fire elements and a decrease of one Earth element and one Water element. Which you can see below under the red [1] text in the image. 3. Before determining whether you are weak or strong, you need to compare the total favorable elements that strengthen you to the unfavorable elements that weaken you. 3.1. Since your day pillar is the Wood element, the favorable elements that strengthen you are Wood (which strengthens Wood), Water (which produces Wood), and Fire (which destroys Metal, an element that weakens you, thereby making you stronger). According to the free report, the total favorable elements that strengthen you amount to 30.2%. 3.2. The unfavorable elements that weaken you are Metal (which destroys Wood), Earth (which strengthens Metal, thereby weakening you), and Fire (which exhausts Wood, further weakening you). According to the free report, the total unfavorable elements that weaken you amount to 83.7%. 3.3. The Fire element ultimately cancels itself out because it both weakens you (by exhausting your Wood) and strengthens you (by weakening the Metal that destroys you). However, it still needs to be considered to maintain balance in the equation. 3.4. Hence, you are determined to be a weak Wood. 4. Once it is confirmed that you are a weak Wood, we can identify that your favorable elements are Water and Wood, while your unfavorable elements are Earth, Metal, and Fire. 5. As mentioned, our free Ba Zi report is not limited in any way. While it does not show the detailed tabulations of your chart, it provides the exact same results as you would find in a comprehensive Ba Zi review. The free report focuses on delivering the most useful information to you—that you are a weak Wood and that your favorable elements are Water and Wood. By enhancing these favorable elements, you can improve your luck. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

1. Based on the profile (Male, October 24, 1998, at 22:09), I can confirm that you have a weak Wood element. For more information, you can refer to our free ba zi report in this link:- URL: https://online.geomancy.net/public/code/html-fs-self-free.php?pay=0&tpl=chart_true_element&username=&gender=1&day=24&month=10&year=1998&hour=12 2. From the "Your Ba Zi Element" section in the free report, it is clear that the total unfavourable elements (which make you weak) at 83.7% is overwhelmingly more than the total favourable elements (which make you strong). Hence, you are a weak Wood element. Your Birth Element Total Favourable Elements (that make you strong) Wood + Water + Fire 30.2% < Total Unfavourable Elements (that make you weak) Metal + Earth + Fire 83.7% = Therefore, you are a Weak Wood 3. When there is a deficiency in certain elements, your ten deities may lack specific characteristics especially in the ten deities. If any of the five element percentages are at 0% or exceed 50%, this often indicates potential health issues related to the corresponding organs. 4. The free ba zi report doesn’t provide the exact breakdown of the five element percentages, so I can't pinpoint which areas are truly lacking. However, it’s important not to assess the five elements solely based on the initial elements of the Ba Zi pillars. A comprehensive review is necessary, including whether the elements combine to form new elements and considering the two additional hidden pillars (House of Life and House of Conception) to determine the exact five element percentages. Our free Ba Zi report has already done the analysis for you, even though it doesn’t show all the details behind the final results. Rest assured, our report is comprehensive and accurate, and it confirms that you have a weak Wood element. 5. Even with a quick basic assessment of your initial Ba Zi chart from the free report, I can say that your five elements are likely to be extremely unbalanced, with significant discrepancies in percentages (e.g., 30.2% vs. 83.7%). This suggests that either the Metal or Fire elements are probably over 50%, indicating potential health issues related to either the Earth (stomach/intestines) or Fire (heart/brain) elements. 6. Beyond that, I won't be able to provide more information without conducting a more comprehensive Ba Zi review. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

1. It is not possible to advise you on which year is auspicious without doing a full Ba Zi report for both you and your husband to check the luck forecast. 2. For now, I can only advise you that it is probably more practical to avoid the years that clash or harm your individual horoscopes, as these are the years that might cause conflicts between parents and children. 2.1. For a Horse horsocope, avoid Rat (Clash) and Ox (Harm) years. 2.2. For a Ram horoscope, avoid Ox (Clash) and Rat (Harm) years. 3. Generally, as long as it is not a Rat or Ox year, the rest of the years should be fine as they don't clash or harm. 4. To determine which years, besides Rat or Ox, are better, you will need to check the luck forecast, which requires an indepth ba zi review review to be able to tell you which years are better.

1. It is a fact that you do not have the ability to choose your colleagues or supervisors, particularly if you lack the authority to determine who works alongside you. However, understanding who aligns with your interests can guide you in identifying those with whom you should collaborate more closely and those you might want to steer clear of. This is especially pertinent if you find yourself in a leadership role, as you will likely prefer to work with individuals who can support you. Additionally, if you are considering launching a business, selecting the right partners and team members will be crucial for your success. 2. Generally, both Data Engineering and Business Process/Management are associated with the Wood element. However, considering your description of Data Engineering, which pertains to backend data management, it aligns more closely with IT, thus relating to the Water and Metal elements. In contrast, Business Process or Business Management is predominantly linked to the Wood element. As a Strong Metal individual, you would typically find Water, Wood, and Fire elements to be more beneficial. Nonetheless, the Data Engineering role does incorporate some Metal aspects, which may not be as advantageous. Therefore, I would say that Business Management job scope is the more favorable option due to its stronger Wood element. 3. The notion that luck improves when you reside and work in your country of birth may not hold true. The location you inhabit is influenced by directional elements; for instance, North corresponds to Water, South to Fire, East to Wood, and West to Metal. Consequently, according to ba zi principles, staying in a suitable house facing, or working in a direction that is most beneficial to your elemental profile and/or your eight house direction is likely to enhance your luck. Thus, ba zi can assist you in determining which country or region within a country may offer you greater fortune. 4. This is why understanding your ba zi heaven luck is essential for optimizing your fortune in relation to your surroundings. Each decision you make to harmonize your five elements can significantly enhance your overall luck.

1. I wanted to clarify that the brief assessment I provided in response to your post was based on the assumption that your time of birth is not known. If you are unaware of your exact time of birth, it is advisable to consider it as unknown, as this will offer a general overview of the day itself. As previously mentioned, in most instances, this will accurately reflect the day's characteristics. Only a few hours could potentially alter this, but otherwise, there would be no significant change. Since you are not certain, then that's fine. Otherwise, whatever advise I provided in the previous post would not be correct if your birth element changes. 2. From the free Ba Zi report link, you should already be aware of your favorable elements. It is essential to assess your surrounding circumstances and strive to incorporate as many favorable elements into your environment as possible. 2.1. The simplest method to implement this is through colors or shapes/patterns of objects. This includes favorable colors, room decor, or any personal items you possess. The more these elements align with your favorable attributes, the greater your luck will be as you wear those clothes or spend time in that space. It is easiest, but sometimes the impact may not be as great, but it still helps on a day to day basis. 2.2. Another important aspect is the favorable individuals in your life, such as family, friends, colleagues, and supervisors. The more people you have who resonate with your favorable elements or horoscope, the more beneficial it will be when collaborating with them. 2.3. Additionally, selecting a suitable job industry and role is crucial, as this will influence the level of luck you experience in your career. Generally, the better the fit, the more likely you are to succeed. 2.4. The most challenging aspect to modify is finding a suitable home, as purchasing a house is a significant investment, making changes difficult unless you decide to relocate in the future. This is something to keep in mind for later. In the meantime, you can explore house earth luck feng shui to enhance the balance of your home and maximize auspicious energies. But this is also where can have greatest impact. 2.5. The more you can incorporate your favorable elements, the better the outcome will be. Particularly if you understand the percentages of the five elements, you can adjust your environment to ensure you receive more of the elements you may be lacking. The closer your five elements are to the ideal 20%, the more favorable your situation will be. 3. According to your free Ba Zi report, as a Strong Metal individual, your favorable elements are typically Water, Fire, and Wood. 3.1. The IT industry, which is associated with Metal and Water elements, is somewhat suitable for you. While Water is beneficial, the Metal element is less favorable, making this career path not the most ideal, although it remains acceptable due to the presence of Water. 3.2. On the other hand, roles in Data Analysis and Data Reporting align more closely with the Wood element, which is generally advantageous. However, the free report does not provide specific insights into whether you require more Water, Fire, or Wood. Overall, while there are favorable Wood and Water components, the excess Metal element suggests that this job sector may not be the best fit for you. 4. When considering your birthplace in another country and your subsequent migration, it introduces some complexity in assessing compatibility between individuals. It is often advisable to focus on the country of birth for such evaluations. However, since you mentioned the absence of your birth time, this complicates matters further. In this situation, it is best to refrain from making any adjustments, as this could lead to additional complexities in the future. A one-time adjustment might be warranted if you have fully relocated to a new country and plan to remain there permanently. However, if there is a possibility of future migrations, it is advisable to stick with your original date and time of birth from your place of birth without alterations. So in your case, best not to worry about the location factor of birth. It is only going to complicate the review. 5. Providing accurate advice without a comprehensive understanding of your Ba Zi is extremely challenging. Numerous factors influence your luck, and it can vary significantly from year to year. Issues may arise due to unfavorable years, working with incompatible individuals, or even problems related to your home's Feng Shui. Therefore, it is difficult to offer specific guidance on how to enhance your luck without a deeper analysis of your Ba Zi. 6.

1. I am assuming the birth element remains unchanged since the time of birth is not available. However, usually only certain hours may alter the birth elements. Provided that the birth element stays the same, any variations will only involve minor adjustments to the percentages of the five elements and/or associated characteristics. 1.1. Based on the information you provided, with a birth date of 23 September 1967, your primary element is Strong Metal, as indicated in this complimentary Ba Zi resource. https://online.geomancy.net/public/code/html-fs-self-free.php?pay=0&tpl=chart_true_element&username=&gender=2&day=23&month=09&year=1967&hour=0 1.2. According to the information provided about your husband, the date of 10 May 1956, corresponds to a Strong Fire element in this free Ba Zi resource. https://online.geomancy.net/public/code/html-fs-self-free.php?pay=0&tpl=chart_true_element&username=&gender=1&day=10&month=05&year=1956&hour=0 2. In response to your inquiry about your potential in business, I must say that having analyzed several hundred of thousands ba zi charts, I have encountered only a few that truly exemplify the characteristics of a successful businessman or businesswoman. Therefore, the odds of a person having a better luck in business generally very slim. 2.1. In your situation, it seems that you have big luck on your side most of the time, which is certainly advantageous. However, you currently lack the overall wealth (both earned wealth and unexpected wealth) that is essential for fully capitalizing on this big luck. 2.2. The characteristics of your ten deities also do not align with the traits typically associated with a businessman or businesswoman. As a result, you may find that you are better suited to working for others rather than pursuing entrepreneurial ventures. 3. From a ba zi perspective, the suitability of your job industry or role can significantly influence your success in that field. Based on my experience, if your job sector does not align with your favorable elements, you may struggle to maximize your luck in your career. Given that you spend nearly one-third of your time at work, having a compatible career is crucial. 4. This could be one reason for your lack of advancement in your career. Of course, other factors, such as the nature of your luck, may also play a role. However, a more detailed review of your luck flow would be necessary to provide further insights. 5. Regarding your inquiry about whether you bring luck to your husband, it is important to note that he is a Strong Fire element, which indeed makes Fire his wealth element. As a Strong Metal, your element will positively influence his wealth. Additionally, his Strong Fire can mitigate some of the excess Metal you possess, which is beneficial to you as well. 6. Howver, it is also essential to assess the percentages of the five elements to determine which Metal is most favorable, next favorable, or least favorable for him. Generally, as a Strong Fire, the Metal element will certainly be advantageous. His favorable elements include Earth, Water, and Metal. 7. You will need to review his ba zi in depth to determine his five element perentage. However, if his ba zi does lack Metal, then this would be particularly beneficial, as it is what he requires more than the other elements. Understanding the five element percentages will provide a clearer picture for this assessment. But for now, even without that info, your Strong Metal would generally help him since that is one of his 3 favorable elements. 8. Ultimately, an individual's overall luck is shaped by three types of luck: 8.1. Heaven Luck - The luck one is born with and is destined to have. 8.2. Earth Luck - The luck derived from one's home, office, and surrounding environment. 8.3. Human Luck - The luck that comes from relationships with others and your own hard work. 8.4. Therefore, your ba zi contributes only 33.3% to your overall luck. Creating a favorable environment can enhance this luck such as favorable colours, suitable career, suitable house will improve your heaven luck. However, Earth Luck and Human Luck also play significant roles. This is why many individuals strive to optimize their ba zi by surrounding themselves with their favorable elements and enhancing the luck of their Home and Office spaces, as these are where they spend the majority of their time. The rest depends on your own hard work.

1. If the year is not in your favor, it could pose significant challenges, especially if it further weakens your weak wood element. 2. The severity of the situation depends on the presence and number of clashes or harms, potentially impacting areas such as wealth, career, and health etc (what problems you will face depends on the indicators found in that year). 3. The negative impact also depends on the occurrence of major clashes or harms in the 10-yearly big luck and minor clashes or harms in the yearly small luck, intensifying any issues present. Especially, if both major and minor clash/harm are present. 4. It is impossible to predict the problems you may encounter in the year without further review of your yearly luck forecast. 5. For example, in the demo link provided below: https://www.geomancy.net/demoreports/bazi_v16_demo/bazi_demo_bazi_expert_review.html 5.1. Under the luck period 7 (2018-2027), a major punishment in the year could indicate potential problems in that entire 10-year range, potentially impacting relationships and wealth. 5.2. In the year 2022, with 2 clashes and 1 punishment predicted, financial challenges and career changes may be affected. 5.3. In the year 2027, with 1 clash, 1 harm, and 1 punishment predicted, there could be implications for your career or health. 6. The examples above clearly demonstrate that the severity of the situation is determined by the number of clashes or harms identified and the specific areas they impact, as indicated by your luck forecast. 7. To overcome these challenges, it is probable that your main element, wood, is weakened. Therefore, it is recommended to integrate more water and wood elements into various aspects of your life, such as colors, shapes, career decisions, social circle, and home environment. 8. To determine which elements you lack or have in excess, it is important to assess the balance of the five elements and make adjustments accordingly. Striving for a balanced state of each of your five elements, closer to the ideal value of 20%, can significantly enhance your overall luck. The more balanced your five elements are, the more auspicious your years will be, and the less problematic your inauspicious years will be. 9. You can utilize our free ba zi report to analyze your upcoming 2024 year for any clash/harms and potential issues to be cautious of during that time. Although it is not intended to be an exhaustive assessment as our full ba zi premium sample report above, it will provide you with a preview of what to watch out for in the upcoming year. You will know if whether it is a bad/very bad year, whether there are clashes/harm and any major issues it may affect (if any are found). URL: https://freebazi.geomancy.net In Conclusion " The severity of challenges faced in a year is determined by the presence and number of clashes or harms, impacting various aspects of life like wealth, career, and health. To mitigate these challenges, it is crucial to strengthen your weak element, wood, by incorporating more water and wood elements into different areas of your life. Additionally, maintaining a balanced state of the five elements can enhance overall luck and reduce potential issues in inauspicious years. Utilizing tools like the free ba zi report can help identify clashes/harms and prepare for any upcoming challenges in the year ahead. " - Master Robert Lee, Geomancy.net

By default, weak element person, will need to strengthen their weak element first, before they can take advantage of their wealth element. Otherwise, you are more likely to lose wealth as you are not strong enough to control it. Hence, for weak person, the wealth element is by default unfavourable element as compared to a strong person. I think you are confusing the two wealth element. 1) The element you destroy based on your five elements is considered your wealth element. ie a weak/strong wood person, the wealth element is earth element. This wealth element comes in as additional wealth opportunities when you encounter it in the 10-yearly/year etc. For strong element person, there will usually be an additioanal 3 x 10 yearly favourable big luck with wealth opportunities. For the weak element person, there will be such wealth but it is by default unfavourable until you become strong enough to control it. 2) The ten deities, is another indicator based on the Heavenly Stem and Earth Branches (and hidden Earthly Branches). They are represented by the ten deities in your chart, which there is an Earned Wealth (Zheng Cai) and Unexpected wealth (Pian Cai). These will form the total wealth elements you have in your chart, and/or wealth/unexpected wealth indicators in the yearly/monthly/daily forecast, which indicates if there is additional weatlh or unexpected wealth in that year or not. In most cases, when we talk about wealth element, we usually focus on the ten deities, as that gives you the total number of earned and unexpected wealth. Whereas, the wealth element is just whether a luck period may bring additional wealth opporunities or not and is dependent on whether how weak or strong you are. So they are quite different indicators even though both represent wealth. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

1. I assume that your ba zi is as follows based on a female chart, since your username is ashley:- Female - 17 Oct 2001 at 5.00 p.m. to 6.59 p.m. Lunar Calendar: 2001, 9th month, 1 day, URL: https://online.geomancy.net/public/code/html-fs-self-free.php?pay=0&tpl=chart_true_element&username=&gender=2&day=17&month=10&year=2001&hour=10 2. You are a weak Water, because total favourable elements (that make you strong) Water+Metal+Wood is 23.5% which is less than Total Unfavourable Elements (that make you weak) Earth+Fire+Wood 76.5%, which you can see below:- Hence, you can check the free ba zi report link above for your favourable element which should be Metal and Water. 3. In general, you need to consider the seasons of birth impact for each of the five elements, the clash/harms, the combinations/joins which can form new elements etc. Only when you considered all the above in details, will you be able to determine the true birth element. 4. In addition, if you checked your House of Life and House of Conception, there are actually 4 more Earth elements in those pillars. So your chart is heavy on Earth element which is one of the key element that is making your chart weak. Which you can see below in the Full Ba Zi Reference Chart that is included in our ba zi premium so that users can see how their ba zi chart is calculated in detail. 5. In the above chart, you can also see the Water element in your day (Heavenly Stem Gui) joins with the month (Heavenly Stem wu), and forms a new element Fire. So even your original Water element is loss due to the impact of the joins/combinations which often changes your final elements. Which is why end up in your final five elements, you end up with 1 Metal, 0 Water, 0 Wood, 3 Fire and 4 Earth. 6. Hence, in your case is a weak Water, as there even just one of your unfavourable element Earth element (58.8%) is already more than the Water (0%) and Metal (23.5%) added together. So your ba zi day element Water can be Strong or balanced. It is far from that. I would consider it a very weak water, since the total element that make you strong (23.5%) about 1/3 of the total elements that make you weak (76.5%). 7. Our free ba zi calculates the ba zi with the same detail as the ba zi premium reports, just that it doesn't show you all the details in the calculation. It just provides you with the information to make use of the report such as which are your favourable elements and unfavourable elements etc. As it is meant for anyone to be able to use it together with many of our other free reports. 8. The reason we don't show the full details in the free report, is we often find that when we provide more raw info, what we end up getting is people frequently just cutting and pasting our free port and posting into the forum to ask us to explain or interpret the chart, which totally defeats the purpose and is a waste of our time. As doing a detailed review of a chart takes time to read and interpret it. Our time can be better used to help users like advise them how to improve stuff which is why we provided like what are your favourable elements so that you can use it to enhance your luck if you follow our reports. All our free reports ba zi, eight house, auspicious dates are tools meant for everyone to freely use to improve your luck. Hope that helps.

Dear Lim Meng Teck, 1. Honestly, our ba zi system has been extensively tested, so there is currently no known bug in the system. As long as the date and time of birth and lunar calendar conversion dates are 100% correct, then there shouldn't be any issue with our free report. As it will produce the exact same results as our our paid reports (except without the details). In this case, I checked the dates and they are correct. 2. Based on your date and time of birth Male -18 Jul 1990 at unknown timing, the true birth element is generally Strong Wood element. 3. Yes, no doubt that Wood element is weak, but whether or not your final true element is a weak wood or a strong wood depends on the overall five element percentage. And you need to considering the impact of the clash, joints and combinations that may form new elements within your chart. Even whether you consider the two additional hidden House of LIfe and House of Conception pillars which are equally important pillars that can affect the final five element percentage. 3.1. So in your case, elements the Total Favourable Elements (that make you strong) Wood (15.0%) + Water (20.0%) + Fire (50.0%) = 85.0%. 3.2. Whereas the Total Unfavourable Elements (that make you weak) Metal (15.0%) + Earth (0.0%) + Fire (50.0%) = 65%. 3.3. The Fire element cancel itself out in the equation as Fire destroy the Metal that makes you strong which strengthen you, but at the same time Fire also exhaust your Wood making you weaker. 3.4. In either case, the Total Favourable element (that make you strong) 85% > Total Unfavourable Elements (that make you weak) 65%. Therefore, it is clear that this chart is a Strong Wood and not a weak Wood. Without considering all these factors and doing a detailed breakdown, you can easily get your true element wrong. 4. Even if you look at the caesarian date report for Male ba zi chart born on 18 Jul 1990 that calculates the different birth elements and percentage from the various hours of birth, as shown in this screenshot:- You will also noticed that most hours are Strong Wood, except for 4 hour ranges such as (1am-2.59am / 9am-10.59am / 3pm-4.59pm / 7pm-8.59pm), in which the five element percentage will make those hours weak Wood instead of a Strong Wood. 5. So it is important to really be able to calculate the ba zi chart in detail, in order to be able to properly deduce the True Birth Element. Otherwise, you will get the balance of five elements incorrect, which in most cases if you just based on what you see on the initial Heaven Stem or Earth Branch elements, many will most likely just deduce it as weak Wood. This is a very common and frequent mistake made by many people. 6. So in conclusion, there is really no bug in our system, as it has been extensively tested. Our reports are designed to allow anyone to properly use and troubleshoot issues in their life. So getting this basic information correct such as whether you are a weak or strong person is very important. 7. Only difference in the free report is, we do not provide the details explaining how we derive the result. From our past experience, the more raw information we provide. All we end up with, is more people just cutting and pasting our entire free report chart and asking us to interpret the results for them. So we only put up what we know are the essential useful information where you can apply them for use with our daily forecast, free auspicious dates reports and so forth. Often, these are essential for people to troubleshoot stuff. So we made them as freely available and as useful for people to use them as needed. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

You can check what is your favourable element from our free report:- https://freebazi.geomancy.net/ But generally, weak fire would mean you either lack Wood/Fire (or depending how your five element percentage is, you may lack more wood or more fire or need both just as much depending on how close that percentage is to the ideal 20% range. This depends on whether you are looking at the job industry or job scope and how you define them as what elements. From job industry Perfumes is Metal (smell), while Beauty (cosmetic) is Earth element job industry. So it is likely a mixed of Earth+Metal element. Logistics often is either storage and/or distribution/transport handling. Which the storage portion is a bit earth as it needs warehouse space, but distribution/transport handling is more Wood primary. So Wood+Earth, but often the distribution and transport of the logistic is what often defines logsitics rather while storage is just part of the process in order to organize and distribute it. So primarily Wood element is often the default element. Forecasting/Budgeting where forecasting is like prediction which is Water, but budgeting is planning which is Wood element. So primarily Wood maybe some Water element. Since your job scope is primarily dealing with forecasting/budgeting than it is Wood, probably containing some Water and Earth depending on whether you do more forecasting and/or more logistic storage. Often, a job scope is not so straight forward nowadays with one single element, so it can be a mixed of elements. For Feng Shui, please seek professional help/service.

1. There is really no discrepancy on our reports. That difference is the Lunar/Seasonal Calendar differences. You can read more about the many reasons why we adopted the Lunar Calendar version from this link:- URL: https://bazifaq.geomancy.net So for us, we actually show the default chart in Full Lunar Calendar format along with the Sesonal Calendar. A lot of other sites usually is using mixed Lunar-Seasonal where they replace the month with the Seasonal month. However, they continue to show the day and year in Lunar format. By right, the correct way is either full Lunar Calendar or Full Seasonal Calendar. But because if the seasonal year is considered, then you will have an issue where for those born near in the New Year having 2 different horoscopes (ie Rat-Ox). Anyway, you can read more in the above link. 2. As you didn't really specify the gender, I can't tell whether the dob 7 Jul 1985 2007hrs, is for a male or female. Here would be your free ba zi reports:- 2.1. Male - 7 Jul 1985 2007hrs. https://online.geomancy.net/public/code/html-fs-self-free.php?pay=0&tpl=chart_true_element&username=&gender=1&day=7&month=07&year=1985&hour=11 2.2. Female - 7 Jul 1985 2007hrs. https://online.geomancy.net/public/code/html-fs-self-free.php?pay=0&tpl=chart_true_element&username=&gender=1&day=7&month=07&year=1985&hour=11 3. In any case, the base ba zi chart shouldn't change, but the other like Gua number will be different depending on whether it is Male or Female chart. In any case, you can see at the start of the report, our ba zi report actually shows you both Lunar and Seasonal Calendar. If there are difference, you will see either in the Month and Year pillar (if you are born near the start of the Chinese New Year), as per the screen capture that I included above. Depending which calendar Lunar Calendar or Seasonal Calendar you the info above differ. In any case, as lot of other concepts generally use Lunar Calendar, particularly Chinese Horoscope / Astrology, it is better to make sure that a consistent calendar system is used. Otherwise, for some people born in the beginning of the year, you will have one calendar format tell you a Rat and another a Ox. You can't possible be both at the same time, as the compatible/incompatible horoscopes are totally different. So since a lot of analysis still based on Lunar Calendar, often Lunar Calendar comes a little later, but once that date passes, both horoscope will match up already. So there will be less confusion. 4. As for why there is a difference in the true birth element (ie weak Fire or Strong Fire) . This depends really on how detailed is the analysis that was done to determine your true birth element. In our report, we not only have the 4 main pillars, there are also additional House of Life and House of Conception included. Many other ba zi calculators don't even have those additional important info assessed. In order to properly detect if you are a weak/strong, you need to consider all those, including the clash/harm and even sometimes some elements combines and form a new elements. Without all these done properly, often it is easy to get the true element incorrect. In our case, we even calculate a percentage value which can let you see why we determined you as a Strong Fire as extracted in our full ba zi report. In your case, when we worked out the details, your five element percentage looks like the above. It is clear you are a Strong Fire, as total element making you strong (Wood+Fire) itself already 59.24% which is more than total elements that make you weak (Water+Metal) at 8.1%. Earth element cancels itself out in the equation since Earth can exhaust your Fire, while Earth can also detroy the Water which makes you weaker. 5. All these is available in the full ba zi report. The free ba zi report will not contain these full information, however, whatever the free report's true element will 100% be the same with the full ba zi reports. None of our reports are crippled in anyway. They are designed for users to freely use the many resources on our website, or even troubleshooting problems that they are facing. We just don't provide all the unnecessary information. Otherwise from past experience, the more details we put online, a lot of people will often cut and paste the details and keep asking us for futher advise. Anyway, all the imporant and useful information is made freely available as the report is meant for everyone to fully utilize the many resource on our wesbite. Hope that helps.

Hi Alvin, Western: 23 march 2023 Lunar: 初二 閠二月 Honestly, for people born in such special date, he/she will only have his true lunar birthday on a lunar year with a lunar 2nd month (閠二月) only a few times in his entire lifetime. So typically, for such people, what most people do is to celebrate his/her Chinese birthday on the normal 初二 二月 if there is no 閠二月. As under the lunar calendar system whether it is normal 二月 or 閠二月, they are is still considered born on 二月 2nd lunar month. Or in the other words, he will have his birthday either on 初二 二月 and 初二 閠二月. So in some special years he will have 2 lunar birthday in the same year. But effectively only that year with the 閠二月 is considered his true Chinese Lunar birthday (as it doesn't occur all the time). Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

I have checked your account and have fixed the issue. I have login to your account to test it the dark mode so you should see it when you next login.

1. Basically, it depends on how they define the sitting and facing direction. As Feng Shui can be applied to either Yang Feng Shui for the living or Yin Feng Shui (or Feng shui for the dead i.e. such as a burial), which will be the have the sitting and facing direction opposite of each other. 2. Yang Feng Shui (Feng Shui for the living) is where you want to face your good direction where Qi flow to flow in from the good direction and exit through the back of the house. 3. Yin Feng Shui (Feng Shui for the dead) is the opposite of Yang Feng Shui. Which is the complete opposite, of Yang Feng Shui. 4. Since we are applying Feng Shui for the living, therefor you want to face the good direction for Qi flow to enter into the house. Related:

Since you mentioned that you checked that 18 Jan 2024 (is generally considered an auspicious date). I presume you checked the general tung shu and it says the day itself is good for marriage. Then overall, the clash and conflict will mainly affect the individuals horoscope that conflicts with the date. I mean general tung shu is a general date that assumes that everyone on this planet will generally be good. However, in reality depending on individual ba zi element and horoscope, whether they clash/harm with the day will result in different people having different luck for the day as well. So ideally, you need to consider everything and find the date with least clashes for the couple as well as being a relative good date for all as the ideal wedding date. Anyway, most family are most concerned with traditional wedding date (where you fetch the bride, do the tea ceremony and usually the hold the wedding banquet date). ROM date is often not viewed as the most important date. Hence, checking for auspicious date for ROM date becomes more of a nice to have, but not the most absolute necessary to most. So I mean yes, while the best advise is always to choose another date, but if the couple doesn't want to change as all the preparation is already done. Then nothing much you can do. Since you said the day is generally auspicious for wedding, so the clash will mainly affect only the people whose horoscope signs conflict with the day itself. So it won't affect everyone, but those selected horoscopes. As mentioned, different people will have certain day that is better and certain day that is not so good. Anyway, as long as the year (2024) doesn't clash with the bride or groom. Then the clash/harm is mainly for the day (18 Jan 2024) itself. Within a year, there will certainly be some ups and down days. So for those who horoscope sign clash/harm, just wear clothings that have some of the favourable colours to help boost their luck for the day is how you can improve the luck for the day itself.

1. Generally, we try to avoid choosing a year or day that clashes/harms with the Bride or Groom. 2. As that indicates a major conflict between the day and the bride or groom. 3. When looking at an auspicious date, we often want to find the date with least conflict with the both the bride and groom. 3.1. So it's best to choose another date.

Only the two wedding couples will need to avoid attending each other's wedding in person. The rest of the other family members aren't directly affected by this, so they can continue attend.

Generally, any two big auspicious/inauspicious events (ie two weddings events), will clash away each couples luck if it is held to close together. The ideal period should ideally be 12 months apart, but most people nowadays are acceptable to the idea of at least 6-12 months apart (or at least if there is a separation of two different years with a minimum of 3 months apart). For example, Nov 2023 and the other is in Feb 2024 (still acceptable as there is like a change in the year 2023/2024 in between them). Safest is still at least 1 year apart to be honest. Anyway, it also depends a lot on the family, some modern family are not so bothered by this, while many are still bothered by this. So best advice would be to avoid attending each other's wedding if you can.

Frankly, we normally won't bother to reply to such post that simply provides the date and time of birth (or a screenshot of any third party chart) and expect us to review the info and answer the questions. As that usually takes time and effort to have to work out an review the dob, before we can answer any questions. Often that no longer falls under simple free advise most of the time, and usually you will need to get our full service to seek the personalised answers you are looking for. Furthermore, most answers you are asking are usually available in the full ba zi service. 1. Anyway, most of the answers for your question is also available on our free ba zi report itself:- https://online.geomancy.net/public/code/html-fs-self-free.php?pay=0&tpl=chart_true_element&username=&gender=1&day=31&month=01&year=1989&hour=8 Since our free reports aren't crippled in anyway, it means you will get the exact same results in the paid report. Just that we don't provide all the details, only those useful for users to make use of. Which means that your true element is a Strong Metal. We provide the free report so that users can really make use of our reports and tools for their own benefit. Often we also do help people troubleshoot by using the free tools. Hence, we do not cripple the reports for that reason. 2. As for the suitable profession, this is usually only provided in the full ba zi report, but you can use the suitable element to determine that Water / Fire element related career (career industry or job scope element) are likely the most suitable, so you can also refer to this free resources that is available on our website. URL: http://talk.geomancy.net 3. Anyway, the only reason I am answering this post is to answer your question is because since our free report already answers most of your question. So to ask us to clarifying what is your true element strength, means that you are probably wanting to know why our chart states that it is Strong Metal, whereas others may have determined it as weak. Often, a lot of other practitioners don't really work out the chart in full details, this means any combinations (that may result in changes in the final element) and clash/harms that takes place, and even many don't even calculate the hidden House of Life and House of Conception pillars. All of which are just as important in determining the true elements. Without considering those details, it is easy to assess the true element incorrectly. Since a weak or strong element will result in different favourable and unfavourable elements. This is why for our site, we have worked this very carefully and in detailed in order to determine your personal true element. This is all calculated even for our free report (just that no detailed info are provided):- In the case of the date of birth dob provided, this ba zi chart is a Strong Metal:-. I have extracted this small section from our full ba zi report, so that you can see why:- Male - 31 Jan 1989 at 1.00 p.m. to 2.59 p.m. Lunar Calendar: 1988, 12th month, 24 day, Total Favourable Elements (that make you strong) Metal (27.9%) + Earth (58.1%) + Water (4.7%) 90.7% > Total Unfavourable Elements (that make you weak) Fire (0.0%) + Wood (9.3%) + Water (4.7%) 14.0% = Therefore, you are a Strong Metal NOTE: Water element eventually cancel itself out as Water element is a double-edged element in the equation. Water element helps to destroy the fire which weakens you (so it helps make it less total unfavourable less unfavourable), but it also exhaust your metal (which weakens your metal and makes your favourable element weaker). But it is necessary to include as each of the five elements each have a role to play. As you can see, the total elements that make you a strong is 90.7% which is greater than the total elements that make you weak which is 14.0%. Hence, you are a Strong Metal. The full details of the five element percentage chart is all available in our full ba zi report. You can see full sample of the reports as follows:- URL: https://www.geomancy.net/forums/store/category/3-ba-zi-life-reading-services/ Sample Report (Concise Expert Review Reports) Ba Zi Expert Review - Demo URL: https://www.geomancy.net/demoreports/bazi_v16_demo/bazi_demo_bazi_expert_review.html Ba Zi Yearly Forecast for 3 years (ie 2020/2021/2022) - Demo URL: https://www.geomancy.net/demoreports/bazi_v16_demo/bazi_demo_bazi_expert_review_2019_forecast.html Sample Reports (Plus detailed online reports at Online.Geomancy.Net available to you while you wait for the expert review) Ba Zi Premium Full Reference Report v16.x - Demo URL: https://www.geomancy.net/demoreports/bazi_v16_demo/bazi_demo_bazi_full_reference.html Ba Zi Premium Forecast Report v16.x (to view any 10-yearly period and yearly forecast) - Demo URL: https://www.geomancy.net/demoreports/bazi_v16_demo/bazi_demo_bazi_forecast.html Often it is easy to get this wrong, if you don't consider all the details in the chart, (interaction with all the pillars, the combinations that may change the final resulting elements and so forth, the additional hidden pillars and so forth). And that will result in interpreting the chart inaccurately. Hence, I am replying to this post just to clarify it and I felt it is important for a lot of users to realise this. Without getting this accurately done, you can often get your true element wrong, which then affects the overall ba zi assessment and even can affect the ability to troubleshoot a situation properly. As a person's luck is influenced by 3 forms of luck:- 1) Heaven Luck - Luck that you are born with and supposed to have. 2) Earth Luck - Luck from your Home/Office and surrounding environments. 3) Human Luck - Luck from your relationship with others and own hard work. Hence, each luck affects 33.3% of your overall luck. Sometimes some issues can arise from the Heaven Luck (Ba Zi), sometimes it can come from the Feng Shui of your Home/Office. Without accurately assessing the ba zi chart, it can be hard to determine if issues maybe coming from the ba zi given luck or from your house/office feng shui. This is why it is important to get the ba zi true element correctly, as that helps to properly define what you need to balance and a lot of things. This is why in our free ba zi we, provided your true element, the favourable/unfavourable elements and even the last 10-years of your luck forecast for you to be able to relate to your own situation in order to determine whether what maybe the issue etc. So our ba zi reports is designed to be fully usable and for troubleshooting purpose.
