Five Elements Diagnosis

The Five Elements theory views all things in the world as composed of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth . The constant movement and transformation of the Five Elements creates the rich and varied material world, and therefore all things carry the inherent qualities of these five elements. The interplay of these elements, through their mutual generation and mutual restraint, influences the overall qualities of the things they form.

Astrology holds that all things in the world possess a dual nature of yin and yang. The rise and fall of yin and yang is caused by the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements. The human body itself is a microcosm of the world. In keeping with the ever-changing nature of the world, the yin and yang and five elements present in a person's birth year, month, day, and time can predict their fate. The human body is composed of the five elements, and the varying predispositions of the five elements within a person are determined by a variety of factors, including the sun's rays, the earth's gravitational pull, the position of the stars, and the climate at the time of birth. Different natural environments at birth result in varying energies of the five elements, leading to vastly different destinies.
