Hi Cecil,
My true birth element is weak wood.According to the analysis of my element, (1)there is no Fire in my life so colors red and orange is suitable (2)too much Earth in my life so colors green, brown, white and gold were suggested.
What confuses me is that under the exhaustive cycle Fire exhausts Wood and destructive cycle Metal destroys Wood. So it red,white and gold colors still favorable to me?? What's the difference between exhaustive cycle and destructive cycle?
I have a Chinese almanac 2001 by Lilian Too.It's my first and I have great problem finding favorable days for myself. I have a query but I have no one to help me except you. I hope you wouldn't mind.
It's about the Day Element. Each day, the Heavenly Stem(HS)eg. Wu and Earthly Branch(EB)eg Chen and Element eg. Wood were given. I know the HS eg.Wu and EB eg.Chen is according to a chart but I don't know how/where to check for the Element eg. Wood.
Would you know? If I were to check if the day is favorable to me, do I check my weak wood against the HS eg.Wu or EB eg.Chen or Element eg.Wood?
Your advices/explanations are very much appreciated. Thank you.
