[myfs_152148]

When i do a free bazi report, it say a metal element.

but there are sites & books that list down the years w/ element say 1982 is a water element?
which one is correct?
i am confused..

Frankly, what are you looking at?
1. For example, if you are looking at your GENERAL Chinese Horoscope,it is not wrong to say that 1982 is considered asa METAL-ROOSTER.
Check out this Reference: http://www.lovesigns.net/horoscope/ayear/a60-80.htm
2. But if you are referring to BAZI then there could a difference. As Ba Zi takes into consideration:
DD / MM / YY / HHHH and House of Life and House of Conception variables to come out with the findings.
While under Para 1; you are only looking at your YEAR of birth. There ain't no DD / MM etc... etc...
3. Here, you are like comparing an Apple with a Durian. How can they be based on the same "source".

Further to what I had mentioned:-
1. The individual element depends on one's DAY of birth.
2. For example, everyone can be born in 1982 and considered as a METAL-ROOSTER.
3. This is too simplistic especially if one wants to apply it to an individual. This is also known as the dinasour method. If you are in the 1930's to 1970's and you can get tons of general books to tell you that you are a Rooster be it metal etc...
4. Thus, using the Year of birth as just like a baby or kindergarten type of analysis.
5. As one goes higher into middle school and graduate school; ba zi is based on as mentioned earlier more variables like DD / MM and more etc...
6. But ba zi is different. It depends on your DAY of birth. Thus one can be a water element or earth or metal or wood or fire again DEPENING on which day one is born.
7. Thus there is no right or wrong here. Just that how detailed or general the INPUT in is.
8. The saying goes: GARBAGE in GARBAGE out. GENERAL input; GENERAL output etc...

In this example, born a few days difference from the earlier sample and this person is instead a "Weak Fire" person.
