Dear Anon,

I elaborate further at a later date.

Do note that under the Five Elements concept, we often introduce a controlling element.

For example, in your case of WEAK WOOD element, and if the season of influence is METAL element; to neutralise the METAL element effects on the person, the remedy is to introduce either:

a. WATER element. Here water produces or increases WOOD.

b. Alternatively if we do not introduce WATER, we can introduce FIRE element. Where FIRE destroys METAL.

Under Para a. We apply the productive cycle i.e. Water -> increase weak Wood = STRONG WOOD.

To help weak WOOD grow in strength to overcome METAL element.

Undera Para b. We apply the destructive cycle i.e. using FIRE to destroy METAL and reducing it.

In both situations, we have thus considered as having applied a controlling element.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
