Element balance of the eight characters
Two different “elements” are quoted for a birth year. The Water fate above is the traditional nayin (纳音) of the year pillar, which is what “Ever-Flowing Water” means in folk astrology. The colours and counts below come from the stem and branch of each pillar, which is the method used for a five-element reading.
- Wood 2
- Fire 1
