Help with Elements?

[myfs_112627]

Dear Master Robert Lee

Ihave received mypaid report. Thank you very much. I am really new to Fengshuiand I have a few querieswhich Ihope you can help me with:

1) Iunderstand that I amastrong water element. How do I go about reducing this element and increasing other elements which I am weak at? In what ways? Should I avoid going forany other water related activities such as swimming?

2) In terms of career, I understand that I should choose either afire element (for wealth) andearth element (for Power& Authority), can you let me know if Office/Admin Manager,IT/Telecom and government/stepboard industry belongs to these two elements?

3) Under my suitable/favourable career, you had listed some job which are considered beneficial to me, in what ways are they beneficial to me?

4) Under my balance of elements, I am totally confused. I am strongest in wood and 0% in earth and metal which I understand is totally unacceptable, so what should I do the increase/reduce the elements? It seems to be totally opposite to my favourable/unfavourable elements? I am currently working in Finance dept, which I believe can help me increase my metal element but then I understood my most unfavourable element ismetal and is my wrong career choice.

I sincerely thank you for taking the time to read my queries and await your reply patiently.

Have a nice day!

You should go by the Strong Water element characteristics. As a Strong Water means you generally have too much Metal and Water which makes you overly strong as such Metal and Water becomes your unfavourable element.

While Wood which exhaust your excess Water and Earth which destroy your Wood help to control you excess Water which makes you Strong. These element becomes your favourable element.

In addition, your wealth is what you destroy which is Fire element. So Wood, Fire and Earth generally becomes your favourable element. So the more of such elements in your life will be good for you.

Since Five elements can be related your home (direction), colours (bedroom decor, clothing, car etc), career (ie Sales - Fire, Accounts - Metal etc), people around you etc. So the more areas in your life which belongs to your favourable element, the better luck you will have.

Of course, that doesn't mean that you should avoid the unfavourable element totally. You will still need to have some of each element. The ideal goal is to have 20% of each of the five element to be truly in balance. But this is difficult to achieve, so you only try to get more of your favourable elements to attempt to balance it out.

Office/Admin Manager is more towards Wood element

IT/Telecome is more towards Water element.

Govenment/stepboard is hard to classify as there are many departments. So depends on what exactly will you be doing.

Suitable Favourable career, simply means the element which is directly suitable for you. Some people do not have the luxuary to take on Career with Wealth or Career with Power Authority because they are generally weak natured person (ie weak water person). In such cases the suitable career is element which favours them generally. ie in your case a Strong Water the suitable career is based on Wood element career. That is why it is suitable, because it enhances your Wood element.

As I mentioned to you earlier, the best way to balance yourself is to have 20% of each element. However, this is very very difficult to apply or calculate because how to tell how much exactly do you have in a point in your life.

In terms of your ba zi (your given luck), this can be calculated easily. But in real world, how to I tell you how mucha brown colour (Wood) car will be in terms of your percentage of Wood element influence in your life.

Thus, you make of this information to tell you how much of a particular element you have. Since 20% is the ideal, if you have too little, say 5%, then having a little more of this element will be eventually beneficial for you. If you have 40%, then it is too much, so having less will be beneficial.

So say your Strong Water is made up of 30% Metal and 10% Water, it means you are Strong because you have more Metal than Water. As such Metal should be an element you should avoid getting too much of. Say if you have 5% Wood, 20% Fire, 40% Earth, then it means among your favourable element, you would prefer more Wood, followed by Fire, and least would be Earth.

This is how you make use of this portion of the five element to fine tune how much of each element you should have.

Hope that helps.
