1. Meaning of the feng shui element in fate
The feng shui element is very important for each individual. According to feng shui, the feng shui element directly affects and carries a dominant tendency from birth to age 40.
By the time they are over 40, the zodiac sign of the element begins to weaken as people enter the mature stage.The influence of the zodiac signs also decreases with age.
That is why, from birth to under 40 years old, feng shui practitioners base themselves on each person’s zodiac sign to determine overall career, family, children, marriage, and even wealth.
2. How to calculate your feng shui element by age
Calculating your feng shui element according to your age is very simple. Because men and women have different feng shui elements, the results must follow the Men’s and Women’s feng shui element below to know their element.
Step 1: Determine the year of birth (according to the lunar calendar, calculated according to the spring period, if born before the spring period, calculate the previous year, if born after the spring period, calculate the following year).
Step 2: The sum of the numbers in the year of birth divided by 9 gives the remainder (if it is divisible by 9, the remainder = 9. if the sum is less than 9, the remainder = the sum).
Step 3: Take the balance above and check with the table of Men and Women feng shui element below to know your element.
