30Jan13 - Five Elements

The Wu Xing (五行) or five elements, is used commonly in Fengshui
to explain alot of things, from our body to the universe.
The Five elements are

-Wood

-Fire

-Earth

-Metal

-Water

The constructive flow (xiangsheng 相生) of the elements are;

Wood feeds Fire,

Fire creates Earth (ash),

Earth bears Metal,

Metal condenses/contains Water

Water nourishes/grow Wood. 

A basic diagram to explain the constructive flow of the elements.


So you need to increase on your water element, you can increase on metal so it will create more water. This is especially useful when you don't want or can't have water elements like
water features and the color blue in a particular place.


What colors and shapes are associated with each elements?
What is the destructive flow?

We will get to that soon :)
