The 5 Elements
BaZi is built on five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water. Each one supports or restrains another in a cycle.
Your chart shows which elements are strong or weak. Your 'favorable element' is the one that tends to balance you: we suggest wearing its colors and leaning into activities that match. The opposite element can drain you; we tell you when to avoid it.
