Gua Element

[myfs_124453]

Recently my mother consulted a geomancer on my home fengshui. After giving my birth information, I was told that my gua no. is 8 and I belong to the eath element. So the geomancer started to tell me to put in some colours which is favourable to eath element, such as red, orange and yellow. Then I tried your free report in this website and also was found out that my gua no. is indeed 8. Based on my pillars of destiny, I was told that I belong to the strong fire element and suitable colours would be those belong to earth or water elements and not the fire element colours as proposed by the geomancer. I am now very confused. Who should I listen to as the wrong colours used will affect my destiny.

Gua number 8 is earth that is correct based on the eight house theory. However, please note that gua number is derived from your YEAR of birth. Which means everyone born in the same year as you will be qua 8.

The free report on the birth element is based on Ba Zi which derives the element from the day/month/year and even hour of birth. So this means that within a year, there will be different element depending on which day the person is born to. This is the most accurate way to determine your element.

So the more accurate birth element is based on your ba zi rather than your eight house. Thus, the correct way of applying colour is better to be based on your ba zi rather than eight house.

Eight house only helps you assess whether a house is suitable to you or not. Whereas, the ba zi is to assess the a person's given luck. So this gives the best form to know what element is lack and thus what colour to assess.
