Is My Gua / Element Correct ?

[zsnipes]

I am a member of geomancy.net, my D.O.B. is 15/10/1976, I check in geomancy.net that my Gua number is 6, White Metal element. I am real beginner in feng shui.
Few Days ago, I went to bookshop and find some feng shui book stated my 1976 years is under the Fire element. I was confused about this. May be about the different calculation should make. Is there any links that can direct me to the explanation for manual calculation for my Gua,Element(weak/strong) ?And also what "TYPE" of books do you suggest about my question ? There are many "TYPE" of feng shui books out there.
Thank you.

Yes, this is based on the theory of the Eight Trigram or Eight house theory.
However, the element used here is not used as your personal element
partially due to the fact that eight house uses only year of birth which
thus makes it less accurate to determining the personal element.

Well, I believe this is not exactly a theory but rather that it is based on just the year i.e. 1976 is a Fire element.
For a simplistic method of determination you can be considered a Fire person (based on the YEAR of birth i.e. due to the fact that you are a born in the year of the Fire.
However, again for a year of fire, it does not mean that everyone born in
the year of the fire is a fire person. Every day one is born in will be considered a different element eg you can be a Metal-Fire, Water-Fire person depending on which day you are born in.
Thus, in terms of personal element, the theory you should use is the Pillars
of Destiny (Ba Zi Feng Shui), where you take your day, month, year & hour of
birth to determine your true element.
Based on the free report to determine your personal element
(http://www.geomancy.net/report), it has been determined that you are a
Metal person born in the year of Fire. Thus you are a Metal person.
Warmest Regards,
