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 “Water in the Spring” 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.

- Fire 1
- Earth 4
