true self element/qua number?

[myfs_105110]

Dear expert,

I was born on 1 oct 1982 i am weak fire needing wood and fire to balance out my chart? So if this is right. Why is my qua number is 6 and belongs to metal needing earth to produce it? Does knowing my true self element means that it ismore valuable than qua number analysis? My sheng chi is in the west which i am residing now. Does knowing my true self element means that i will have to transform my west from metal and earth to green and fire to give me maximum support? How confusing. Although i do feel that metal and earth is not giving me enough support. Don't west clash with fire and wood? Or it doesn't matter because i need to balance out my chart? Is wearing a mala sandlewood bracelet suppose to bring me luck. i.e wood fuels fire. Am i right? Please let me know. As my true self element indicates that it is inauspicious for me to use metal and earth?

Dear Anon,

Firstly, don't get confused.

1. Gua or Kua number is soley based on one's Year of birth.

2. A proper ba zi chart or the free chart provided on this website takes into account one's Year, Month, Day and if one know's one's hour of birth, ba zi is an interaction of all these variables: heavenly stems and earthly branches to find out our element and strength.

2. Furthermore, Gua is soley based on the Eight House or Ba Chai compass school and is one one of the methods used to assess a direction that is or is not suitable to us.

3. I am not going to go into details as all the available information can easily be found on any of these topics:

Compass School: Eight House
Ba Zi

4. What is more important is to understand or use the three-step approach:
4.1 what are it's purpose
4.2 what are it's strengths
4.3 what are it's weakness

5. The clue here is that : Ba zi element and strength is considered a "lowest common denominator" or LCM for both bazi and flying star. Both use the five elements approach. While eight house does not use it.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil Lee
