Chinese believe that the universe is composed of five basic characters, and everything in the universe has one of the characters. Any status of anything is the result of the
reaction of the character of the thing and the characters of other things in the related environment. Chinese think that through analyzing "Five characters" in a certain environment, it is possible to evaluate the present status of one thing in the environment and estimate the status changes in the future.
Zodiac predicting is an application of this theory.
The five characters, called as "Wu Xing" in Chinese, are "Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Soil".
The five characters, called as "Wu Xing" in Chinese, are "Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Soil".
Every character has its own meaning:
Wood: spring, growth;
Fire: upwards, hot, dry;
Soil: supporting, providing;
Metal: quiet, closed;
Water: cold, downward, moist.
The five characters have following allelopathy-relationships:
Wood helps fire;
Fire helps earth;
Earth helps gold;
Metal helps water;
Water helps wood;
Water restraints fire;
Fire restraints gold;
Metal restraints wood;
Wood restraints earth;
Earth restraints water;
However, the character of a person is not only decided by the character of the zodiac sign of his/her birth year, but also the characters of the birth clock, birth day and birth year. The elements of a birth time are determined with Chinese heaven stems and earth branches calendar.
The five characters of zodiac animals are following:
Metal: Monkey, Rooster
Wood: Tiger, Rabbit
Metal: Monkey, Rooster
Wood: Tiger, Rabbit
Water: Rat, Pig
Fire: Snake, Horse
Soil: Ox, Dragon, Goat, Dog
However, the character of a person is not only decided by the character of the zodiac sign of his/her birth year, but also the characters of the birth clock, birth day and birth year. The elements of a birth time are determined with Chinese heaven stems and earth branches calendar.
"Wu Xing" of Heaven stems:
Wood: Jia and Yi
Metal: Geng and Xin
Fire: Bing and Ding
Water: Ren and Gui
Soil: Wu and Ji
"Wu Xing" of the Earth branches:
Wood: Yin and Mao
Metal: Sheng and You
Fire: Wu and Si
Water: Zi and Hai
Soil: Chen, Xu, Chou, Wei
Through analyzing the relationship of the characters of the birth time, it is possible to predict and estimate one's characters and
fortune. For example, if
the soil character of one is strong in his birth time, his spleen and lungs are stronger in his body, because soil is the character of spleen and lungs. However, in practice it is very complicated to evaluate the relationship of the five characters of one's birth time, because the characters of clock, day, month and year have different weights in the relationship, and the five characters have allelopathy-relationships with each other. It requires much experience to find out the correct comprehensive relationship of the five characters of a birth time. To simplify the estimating and evaluating, it is not unusual that only the character of the birth year, the most important character among all characters in the birth time, is taken in count. Obviously, this way is a little rough, but it can anyway reveal a lot of information about one's fate and personalities.
