How to Attract Good Luck with the 5 Elements | 2021 Ox Year Feng Shui Lucky Star | Money and Success

The 5 elements are: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth.
They can determine our health, wealth, happiness and prosperity.

The 5 elements are everywhere in our daily lives:
For example, the frying pan we use for cooking belong to the metal element.
The water we drink everyday belongs to Water element.
The furniture that's made of timber belong to the Wood element, the stove in the kitchen belongs to fire element and the soil in the backyard/flower pots belong to Earth element.

The 5 elements can affect us in many ways. Therefore, It's very important to understand the relationships of the 5 elements and how they interact with each other.

Productive relationships:
Fire creates Earth: when fire burns it leaves lots of ashes, which becomes earth.
Earth produces Metal - that's because earth produces ore that can be used to create metal
Metal collects water - when metal is heated or cooled, water condenses on metal surface.
Water nourishes Wood: water can help trees and plants to grow.
Wood fuels Fire : wood can be burned to make fire.

This productive relationship flows in a clockwise direction,
with each element nourishing the next one. This cycle creates a harmonious and balanced energy flow.

Controlling relationships:
Metal cuts wood - an axe cutting down the tree.
Wood penetrates earth -
Earth(soil) blocks water and stop it from flowing
Water control fire
Fire melts metal
