Element balance of the eight characters
Two different “elements” are quoted for a birth year. The Earth fate above is the traditional nayin (纳音) of the year pillar, which is what “Earth of the Relay Station” 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 1
- Fire 0 · missing
- Earth 3
