What\u2019s Your Birthday Element?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nMetal:<\/strong> Born in year ending in 0 or 1
Water:<\/strong> Born in year ending in 2 or 3
Wood:<\/strong> Born in year ending in 4 or 5
Fire:<\/strong> Born in year ending in 6 or 7
Earth:<\/strong> Born in year ending in 8 or 9<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Wuxing system and Feng Shui Astrology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This five-phase system, called Wuxing, begins anew at each Lunar New Year in January or February. In the Western astrology system, this falls at the Aquarius New Moon. (Capricorn and Aquarius friends, scroll down to the end of this post for an important caveat!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We recently nicknamed this system Feng Shui Astrology<\/strong> because it blends the five-element system that\u2019s used in both Feng Shui and Chinese astrology.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile designing our new online course Home Reset<\/a>, we realized that the five elements not only influence the energy of a physical space, but also the people that inhabit it. Balancing interpersonal dynamics is as important as properly positioning a bed or desk, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFeng Shui principles in real life<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
When organizing a space by Feng Shui principles, there\u2019s a saying, \u201cA place for everything and everything in its place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The idea is to get energy flowing in the right direction. You want to make sure you\u2019re not blocking \u201cchi,\u201d or life force energy, with problems like misplaced furniture, sharp corners, leaky faucets and poor lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But newsflash: Life isn\u2019t a perfectly staged Pinterest board. Human beings are involved, and that\u2019s where Feng Shui Astrology REALLY comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most divinely appointed home can still turn chaotic depending on the cast of characters that walks through your front door. (Yep, even if you painted it red for good luck!) As the pandemic forces us to cram work, school and life into one space, our nests are feeling more stressed than #blessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Home-Reset_-Instagram-Squares-5.png\")

What does your birth element say about you?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nYour birth element shapes your personality, the energy you exude and the way you decorate, dress and express yourself. How will you resolve conflict? Do you need more privacy to concentrate or are you an \u201copen-plan\u201d extrovert type who doesn\u2019t believe in walls?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like any ecosystem, all five elements are interconnected. To create harmony in any environment\u2014whether at home or on your Zoom conference calls\u2014they must be balanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There can be \u201ctoo much of a good thing\u201d when certain elements dominate. And when an element is missing or deficient, things feel askew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, an excess of attention-seeking, competitive Fire energy in a group can be exhausting. Everyone\u2019s shouting over each other; nobody\u2019s listening. Can we pass the \u201ctalking stick,\u201d puh-lease?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But on the flip side, a lack of Fire in a group can feel dull and lackluster, devoid of the spark that gets projects and parties started. Properly balancing Fire can bring the right amount of vibrance to a home or collab, stoking inspiration without burning down the house!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve referred to this balancing act as \u201castro-Ayurveda\u201d\u2014and it rings true for the five-element system. In Home Reset, you\u2019ll learn this system in depth, and how to elicit the right proportions from all five elements, and to compensate for elemental energies that are missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 5 Elements of Personality\u2014Your Archetype:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Metal:<\/strong> The Organizers
Water:<\/strong> The Empathizers
Wood:<\/strong> The Providers
Fire:<\/strong> The Energizers

The 5 elements of personality<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhether in nature or among people, every element has a job. And when we play to our strengths, a household, work group or community can feel beautifully balanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think about being in a coffee shop (pre-pandemic), when you get into the zone and feel the productive energy all around you. Chances are, there are people of all five elements there, and you\u2019re picking up on the collective good-vibes buzz!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Water people are listening to music and creatively flowing. The Metals are banging out that proposal spreadsheet they weren\u2019t able to focus on at home. The Fire and Earth folks are sipping lattes, trading gossip and hatching a startup (with the Fire playing evangelist). And the Wood folks are nerding out with the barista about the single-origin coffee beans while their pour-over brews (no rush!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your Element\u2019s Keywords:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Metal:<\/strong> Sharp, decisive, seeks clarity
Water:<\/strong> Intuitive, creative, emotional
Wood:<\/strong> Masterful, structured, diligent
Fire:<\/strong> Enthusiastic, colorful, restless
Earth:<\/strong> Nurturing, reliable, grounding<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe 5 Elements of Personality and compatibility<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe supportive star<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYour birth element in Feng Shui Astrology can help you find\u2014and embrace\u2014the role you were born to play. Then, the next question arises: Do you play well with others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understanding the Feng Shui Astrology \u201clife cycle\u201d reveals which elements support yours and which ones you may feel out of sync with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The five elements of personality have a symbiotic relationship:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Metal generates Water<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Water feeds Wood<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Wood sustains Fire<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Fire makes Earth (ash)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Earth (ash) creates Metal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
They also have a destructive manifestation:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Fire melts Metal<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Metal cuts Wood<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Wood breaks Earth<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Earth absorbs Water<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Water puts out Fire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
When we accept that each person has a role to play, we can appreciate who they are, even if we don\u2019t necessarily want to share close quarters 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And well, if you do happen to be family or close colleagues, you can design a setup that meets everyone\u2019s individual needs. So much creativity becomes available when you understand what makes everyone tick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After all, the goal here is harmony and flow, finding a way to coexist amid our differences. That\u2019s something the planet needs more than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Home](\"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Home-Reset-1200x400-1.jpg\")
