Water deficiency in your birth chart: 21 ways to live for those born in Summer

What is a Water-deficient destiny? What should people born in the Summer pay attention to in order to balance their lives and attract good fortune? If you were born in the Summer – a time of intense heat and dominant Fire energy – it's very likely that you have a Water-deficient destiny in Feng Shui. This can significantly impact your health, personality, and even your financial path.

In this article, Kallos will explore what a Water-deficient destiny is, what it means, and especially 21 smart ways to help those born in the Summer balance their fate, improve personal Feng Shui, and attract wealth and success. Don't miss out if you're looking for solutions to live more harmoniously with your destiny!

Method 1. Absorbing Water: How to balance destiny and protect loved ones when facing a major Water deficiency

You already know how to supplement the Water element through your living space, time, and even from Bazi studies. But what happens if your life's journey enters a period of severe Water deficiency, meaning there is absolutely no Water in your major cycle? Is that a premonition of an impending calamity?

In reality, when a person with a Water-deficient destiny enters a major cycle completely lacking the Water element, life can easily fall into a serious state of imbalance. At this point, the only way to compensate for the Water element is to rely on support from those around you – especially those who represent Water in your Bazi.

1. Who represents Water in your Bazi?

In Bazi, each family member symbolizes a different element depending on your Heavenly Stem. For example:

• If you are a male with Heavenly Stems Bing or Ding (belonging to Fire), then children and nieces/nephews will represent the Water element in your Bazi.

Practical tip: List the people around you (children, nieces/nephews, close friends, etc.) and identify who among them often brings a feeling of "coolness," "balance" – that could be the person bringing Water energy to you.

2. If someone with the Water element encounters trouble, is that a warning sign?

If you enter a major cycle completely lacking Water, the family member symbolizing this element may:

• Experience sudden health problems

• Encounter major life events

• Even face a risk of death if not promptly supported

This is when you need to closely monitor the condition of your loved ones representing Water, because they are the "barometer" for your own destiny.

3. How to help them and save yourself when Water deficiency reaches its extreme?

• If those with the Water element need your help, such as borrowing money or emotional support – try to assist within your means.

• In Feng Shui, the connection between personal Five Elements and the fate of loved ones is real – helping them is protecting your own destiny.

4. If no one around you carries the Water element – you must create Water yourself

In cases where you have no close relatives representing Water, you have truly become completely Water-deficient. In this situation, you need to:

• Choose a Water-related profession: such as transportation, aquaculture, design, beverages, insurance...

• Use Water colors: black, blue in clothing, objects, vehicles...

• Live near water: near a lake, river, swimming pool, or design a small water feature at home.

• Choose Feng Shui names with Water elements: use characters with the Water radical, Ha, Hai, Luu, Giang…

Real-life example: Mr. Nam – a businessman born in the Summer, with severe Water deficiency, once failed in real estate. After supplementing Water by moving his office near a river and partnering with someone born in the year of the Pig (belonging to Water), he began to recover his career and encountered more financial opportunities.

Absorbing Water – the key to balancing destiny and protecting loved ones

Understanding and actively absorbing the Water element not only helps you improve your destiny when entering a major cycle of Water deficiency, but also contributes to protecting the health and peace of mind of your loved ones. Every right choice in Feng Shui today will be a shield protecting you from the fluctuations of your future destiny.

Method 2. Relying on others to change fate: How a Water-deficient destiny finds balance through relationships

Bazi Feng Shui not only speaks of yourself, but also shows a deep connection between personal destiny and those around you. For those with a Water-deficient destiny, an effective way to absorb the Water element is through close relationships – family, spouse, friends, or even... ex-lovers.

1. Each family member represents an element in Bazi

Depending on your Heavenly Stem (birth date), each family member will correspond to a specific element. For example:

• People belonging to Mậu Kỷ Earth: father represents the Water element

• Females belonging to Bính Đinh Fire: husband, lover, and... mistress represent Water

• Males Tâ Kim: mother-in-law, paternal grandmother can be a source of Water

Application tip: If you are Water-deficient, identify who is the "Water-bearer" in your life. Be close to them, help them, or create conditions for them to be healthy and happy – you are indirectly supplementing Water for yourself.

2. Arranging Water in the house can help loved ones recover

A real-life example:
You belong to Mậu Kỷ Earth, your father is the Water element, but your father is ill. You should:

• Place a fish tank, humidifier, or small pond in the house

• Eat foods belonging to the Water element such as seaweed soup, fish, soft tofu, cool juices...

The result? Your father's health may improve – because when the Water element is nourished, your own destiny becomes more stable.

3. Lovers, adopted siblings – can they help Bính Đinh women "receive more Water"?

This is a sensitive topic, but it has a basis in Bazi studies. Females Bính Đinh Fire – who are typically Water-deficient when born in summer – can receive Water from:

• Husband

• Lover (if any)

• Adopted brothers (a healthier way to supplement)

Feng Shui advice: If your wife is Bính Đinh and Water-deficient, encourage her to connect, form sworn sibling bonds, or cultivate relationships that make her feel at peace – that is Water coming to her.

4. Ex-partners, distant relatives – can still be important sources of Water

This is a point few people notice:

• Your wife's ex-husband, first lover – if they have major problems like bankruptcy, it may reflect a weakening of your wife's Water fortune.

Suggestion: Pay close attention to the condition of "people who were once connected" to your family members. They can inadvertently be "indicator gauges" for your current destiny.

5. If someone with Water is lost – you must find a way to replace it immediately

An example:
A man of Mậu Kỷ Earth, his father was the Water element, but his father passed away at age 80. Due to Water deficiency, he began to decline mentally and financially. He sought a lover – as a way to "recharge Water." But if you are his wife, don't let things go by emotion. You should:

• Create opportunities for your husband to be close to your sisters

• Live with someone in the household who has strong Water (people born in the year of the Pig, Rat, or with Heavenly Stems Ren, Gui)

• Increase Water elements in the living space: fish tanks, fountains, Feng Shui paintings with water...

6. Visiting graves during Thanh Minh Festival – choose the right people to go with to absorb Water

When visiting graves, you should:

• Go with someone with strong Water energy

• Avoid going with someone who is Water-deficient if you are also deficient, to prevent "excessive yin and deficient yang" or mutual attraction

Using relationships to draw in Water – a smart and humane method to change fate

It's not always about fortune-telling or major life changes to improve one's destiny. Sometimes, all you need is to know how to recognize, connect with, and cherish those who represent the Water element in your life – you are already saving your own destiny.

Method 3. What professions should Water-deficient people choose to achieve success and attract wealth easily?

If you were born in the summer – when Fire is strong – then it is very likely that you are deficient in Water. This directly affects the balance of the Five Elements in your Bazi, thereby impacting your luck, wealth, and career. One of the ways to help Water-deficient people improve their destiny is to choose a profession belonging to the Water element.

Below are the most suitable career suggestions for Water-deficient individuals, along with some tips and examples for easy application.

1. Traditional Water-related professions – the closer to water, the better

• Maritime, aquaculture, irrigation

• Water supply and drainage, environmental sanitation

• Swimming instructor, beach lifeguard

Real-life example: Water-deficient people working in aquaculture or maritime import/export often experience more good fortune and fewer work-related problems.

2. Modern Water-related professions – no need to "encounter water" to thrive

• Insurance, finance, stock market
  → Because money flows constantly, high volatility and flexibility – clearly embodying Water characteristics.

• Tourism, restaurants, bars, catering services
  → Especially business models related to beverages, cool and refreshing dishes (milk tea, juices, tofu, soy milk...).

• Cosmetics, beauty care
  → Cosmetics have moisturizing and soothing properties – symbolizing Water.

• Media, languages, import/export
  → Communication, dissemination, advertising are "information flows" – belonging to Water.

Career selection tip: If you find yourself easily advancing in flexible jobs, those involving a lot of communication, or related to beauty and finance, it's very likely you belong to the Water-deficient group.

3. Stock market investment – a great opportunity for Water-deficient people

Water-deficient people have a good ability to sense fluctuations – this makes them sensitive to investment, especially in stocks and finance. In contrast, Fire-deficient people are prone to failure in investment due to a lack of decisiveness and the necessary "heat."

Note: Even with an advantage, you still need clear knowledge and strategy when investing – do not rely solely on Feng Shui to "gamble."

4. Does martial arts belong to the Water element?

Martial arts do not strictly belong to any single Five Element, but each style tends towards a specific element, which can help you regulate any deficiencies in your body:

• Tai Chi: can regulate all Five Elements depending on the movements → suitable for those who need overall balance

• Wing Chun, Aikido: soft, continuous movements → lean towards Water

• Karate, Taekwondo: lean towards Fire or Metal, not suitable for those already deficient in Water

Tips for choosing martial arts according to Feng Shui:

• If you need to supplement Water, you should choose martial arts that involve flexible, soft movements, focusing more on defense than offense.

• Regular exercise is also a way to absorb Water through sweat and regulate internal organs.

Choose a career aligned with the Water element to thrive in life and wealth

People lacking Water don't need to worry too much if they know how to choose the right career and suitable living environment. Water-element professions not only help balance the five elements but also open up opportunities for sustainable development, attracting wealth and good fortune.

Method 4. What diseases are people lacking Water prone to? Health warning signs you shouldn't ignore

If you belong to the Water-deficient element, your health can be significantly affected by the imbalance of the five elements. Among these, organs representing the Water element such as kidneys, bladder, and uterus are often "weak points" that require special attention. Additionally, a lack of Water can also affect the lungs, throat, eyes, and digestive system.

Below are common diseases and signs you should recognize early to effectively prevent them.

1. Kidney, bladder, and urinary system diseases – the primary vulnerable areas for Water-deficient individuals

• Weak kidneys, kidney failure, kidney stones

• Cystitis, urinary tract infections

• Cold abdomen, frequent nighttime urination

Prevention tips:

• Drink enough (warm) water, avoid getting cold

• Prioritize foods that benefit the kidneys such as black beans, lotus seeds, carp

• Avoid staying up late – because 11 PM to 1 AM is when the kidneys recover most actively

2. Uterus and vaginal issues (for women) – gynecology is a sensitive area

• Irregular menstruation, prolonged bleeding

• Vaginitis, ovarian cysts

• Difficulty conceiving or prone to uterine coldness

Care suggestions:

• Keep the lower abdomen warm (use herbal heat packs, avoid wearing thin clothes at night)

• Supplement with Water-rich foods such as bone broth, lotus seed porridge, cooling juices

• Avoid eating too many spicy and hot foods as they deplete Water

3. Constipation, hemorrhoids – signs that the body is severely "dry"

People lacking Water are prone to dry intestines, leading to:

• Chronic constipation

• Internal and external hemorrhoids

• Intestinal bleeding

Remedy tips:

• Drink warm water in the morning right after waking up

• Eat plenty of fiber (malabar spinach, amaranth, pumpkin)

• Gently massage the abdomen clockwise before sleeping

4. Eyes, brain, and nervous system – secondary effects due to Water imbalance

• Prone to myopia, dry eyes, and even a risk of macular degeneration

• May experience cerebral hemorrhage, dull headaches, dizziness

Tips for eye care – nourishing Water:

• Increase consumption of salmon, walnuts, dark leafy greens

• Avoid using electronic devices for too long, especially at night

• Use soft lighting, avoid direct overhead light from the ceiling

5. Lungs, nose, and throat – related to Metal, also affected by Water deficiency

Since Water generates Metal, people lacking Water often also lack Metal, leading to:

• Allergic rhinitis, sinusitis

• Sore throat, tonsillitis

• Prone to chronic cough, weak lungs

Ways to support Water – nourish Metal:

• Breathe fresh air every morning

• Drink ginger honey tea or eat steamed pears with rock sugar

• Limit smoking, using cold water, or overly strong air conditioning

6. Warning from the living space: Overhead light shining directly at the foot of the bed – extremely dangerous

An important note for those lacking Water:
If there is an overhead light shining directly at the foot of the bed, that is an extremely bad feng shui layout.

Consequences:

• Increased risk of severe illness, unexplained surgeries

• Even when the light is off, ambient light still reflects through the fixture – like having an X-ray every day

Solutions:

• Remove overhead lights shining directly onto the bed

• Use floor lamps or low bedside lamps with soft yellow light

• Position the head of the bed facing North (Water element)

Early knowledge – prevention is better than cure

People with Water deficiency, if they understand their health risks, can prevent them early, and adjust their lifestyle and living space feng shui to support recovery and balance in the body.

Method 5. Water-rich foods to help those with Water deficiency balance the five elements and improve health

In Bazi feng shui, eating the right foods corresponding to the deficient element is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve luck, support health, and enhance personal energy.

If you are a Water-deficient person, regularly supplementing with foods high in Water properties will help you:

• Strengthen kidney energy, improve urinary system health

• Soothe the mind, reduce irritability – due to strong Fire

• Balance the five elements, support good fortune and career

Below is a list of Water-element rich foods and dishes you should include in your daily diet:

1. Seafood – the food group with the strongest Water energy

• Seafood (salmon, mackerel, saba, carp…)

• Shrimp, squid, octopus, oysters, scallops

Dish suggestions:

• Fish soup, seafood hotpot

• Sushi, sashimi (Japanese raw fish) – both Water-rich and cooling

2. Mucus-rich, cooling foods – nourishing yin and supplementing Water

• Black wood ear mushroom: helps cool blood, acts as a diuretic, detoxifies the body

• Daylily flowers: aids digestion, soothes nerves

Dish suggestions:

• Black wood ear mushroom and pork hock soup

• Steamed daylily flowers with lean pork – a delicious and effective Water-nourishing dish

3. Cooling and water-rich foods – activating Water energy

• Seaweed, kelp

• Tofu, soy milk (soft, cooling, detoxifying)

• Winter melon, cucumber, loofah, mustard greens

Combination tips:

• Eat silken tofu with Japanese soy sauce and dried seaweed

• Cook winter melon soup with dried shrimp or snakehead fish

4. Pearl powder – a special food with high Water properties

Pearl powder not only helps beautify the skin but is also considered a Water-nourishing food in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It can be taken in capsule form or mixed with plain porridge.

Note: Choose natural pearl powder that has been food-safety processed, and use it in small amounts, not as a main course regularly.

5. Water – a basic Water element that many people… don't consume enough of

• Warm water is the optimal choice for those lacking Water

• Cool juices: pear juice, pennywort juice, roasted black bean water, sugarcane juice (not too cold)

Small tip:

• Every morning after waking up, drink 1 glass of warm water + a little honey → supplements Water and gently activates energy for the whole day

Eating right – absorbing Water daily to nurture your destiny

The diet for people lacking Water should prioritize:

• Dishes that are soft, soupy, steamed, or boiled

• Avoid too much frying (belongs to Fire, depletes Water)

• Eat a light, refreshing diet, avoid spicy, hot, and oily foods

Method 6. What are the mysteries of the 60 Jiazi? Quick divination method based on birth date and time in Bazi

In Eastern numerology, the "Sixty Jiazi" (or 60 Stem-Branches) is a very important system for interpreting destiny, divining fortune, calculating the five elements, and predicting fate. Each combination of Heavenly Stem – Earthly Branch forms a "Jiazi" unit, repeating a 60-year cycle. But few know that these 60 Jiazi contain a profound "mystery" that can help you:

• Predict your life's fortune for each year

• Determine whether your fortune is favorable or unfavorable based on your birth hour

• Discover the hidden five elements behind each number through Na Yin (Sound of the Elements)

1. How to divine fortune according to Jia Zi: The beginning of the 60-year cycle

For example, if your birth hour is Jia Zi – the very first point of the Sixty Jiazi.
From here, you can count forward or count backward to know which fortune you are experiencing at each age.

Counting forward:

• Age 1 → Yi Chou (2nd position)

• Age 2 → Bing Yin (3rd position)

• Age 3 → Ding Mao (4th position)
  ...

Suppose you are 72 years old this year, which fortune will you be experiencing?

• Age 1: Yi Chou (position 2)

• Add 11 → position 13 = Bing Zi
  → At 72 years old, you are experiencing the fortune of Bing Zi – which belongs to Fire (according to Na Yin).

Reverse deduction:

• Age 1 → Gui Hai (position 60)

• Age 2 → Ren Xu (position 59)
  ...

• Age 61 → Gui Hai

• Add 11 → position 49 = Ren Zi
  → At age 72, you will be in the Ren Zi (Water) cycle

Note: Choosing forward or reverse deduction depends on the birth hour, yin-yang heavenly stems, and specific pole establishment rules (requires careful consultation of a complete Ba Zi chart).

2. Grand secret: Every 10 years returns to Jia

In the 60 Jia Zi:

• (1) = Jia Zi

• (11) = Jia Xu

• (21) = Jia Shen

• (31) = Jia Wu

• (41) = Jia Chen

• (51) = Jia Yin

Every 10 steps, you encounter a combination starting with Jia, marking a "new cycle" in destiny. Ba Zi learners only need to memorize the 6 Jia positions, plus the 60 Jia Zi chart, to quickly calculate destiny cycles and accurately interpret which element corresponds to which year.

3. From the Na Yin of Jia Zi → deduce the five elements of all numbers

This is a "numerical secret" known by few:

• Each Jia Zi in the 60 Jia Zi cycle has a corresponding Na Yin five element (Metal – Wood – Water – Fire – Earth)
• Based on the numerical position of the Jia Zi, you can find the five elements hidden in numbers from 1–60
• This opens up applications for:
  • Choosing house numbers, phone numbers, license plates that match one's destiny
  • Calculating fortune based on age
  • Matching lucky numbers according to personal five elements

Practical example:

• Position (6) is Ji Si → Na Yin "Fu Deng Huo" → belongs to Fire
  → Number 6 has the Fire element if calculated according to Jia Zi

• Position (24) is Yi Chou → Na Yin "Hai Zhong Jin" → belongs to Metal
  → Number 24 corresponds to the Metal element

The 60 Jia Zi are not just a lunar calendar but a destiny map

Understanding and memorizing the 60 Jia Zi helps you:

• Accurately interpret Ba Zi for each year

• Know if fortune is rising or falling, whether to act or maintain status quo

• Apply numerical feng shui, choose the right time and "companion" numbers

Method 7. Do numbers have five elements? How to determine the element of numbers according to the 60 Jia Zi

In modern feng shui, determining the five elements of numbers and letters is still a matter of much debate and lacks absolute consensus. However, there is a method that is increasingly favored by many practical feng shui practitioners due to its logic and high accuracy – that is, applying the 60 Jia Zi (60 Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches) to determine the five elements of numbers.

1. How many ways are there to determine the five elements of a number?

Currently, there are three main schools of thought:

According to the Nine Palaces Flying Stars:

• Number 1: Water

• Numbers 2, 5, 8: Earth

• Numbers 3, 4: Wood

• Numbers 6, 7: Metal

• Number 9: Fire

Suitable for calculating directions and house layouts, but not accurate when applied to phone numbers, license plates, ID numbers, etc.

According to Ba Zi:

• Based on the hour, day, month, and year of birth to determine destiny and find suitable numbers

• Example: People lacking Water are compatible with numbers 9 and 0 (according to some views)

However, there is no unified basis and it can easily lead to confusion when choosing personal feng shui numbers.

According to the 60 Jia Zi – a new, easy-to-apply method:

• Each number from 1–60 corresponds to a pair of Heavenly Stems – Earthly Branches

• From there, find the corresponding Na Yin five elements

This is the most feasible and reasonable method when applied to car numbers, phone numbers, customer IDs, asset numbers...

2. Guide to determining the five elements of numbers according to the 60 Jia Zi

Step 1: Divide the number sequence into pairs of two digits

Example: Car number 7278 → divided into: 72 and 78

Step 2: Bring to the range 1–60

Because the 60 Jia Zi only has 60 stem-branch pairs, therefore:

• If the number is greater than 60: subtract 60 from the number

• Number 00 is considered 60, number 61 = 1, 62 = 2, etc.

→ 72 - 60 = 12 → position 12 = Yi Hai (five elements: Metal Water)
→ 78 - 60 = 18 → position 18 = Xin Si (five elements: Wood Fire)

Step 3: Look up the Na Yin of the stem-branch to determine the element

You can use the 60 Jia Zi chart or a lookup tool to find out which element each number belongs to.

Conclusion: Car number 7278 has a combined five elements of: Metal, Water, Wood, Fire → unbalanced, not suitable for someone lacking Water

3. Application: What numbers should someone lacking Water choose?

Someone lacking Water should prioritize choosing number pairs whose Na Yin belongs to the Water element or Metal generating Water.

Example of good numbers for someone lacking Water:

• 49 → Gui Wei (Na Yin: Yang Liu Mu) – acceptable if Wood is needed to generate Water

• 10 → Gui You (Na Yin: Jin Bai Jin) – very good

• 60 → Ji Hai (Na Yin: Ping Di Mu) – can provide some support if Wood generates Water

Suggestion: Try to choose a phone number or license plate with as many Water or Metal pairs as possible

4. Quick calculation for numbers from 61–99 and 00

5. Notes when choosing feng shui numbers according to the Jia Zi five elements

• No need to sum up the entire number sequence
  → Analyzing each pair of 2 digits is more accurate

• Find balance according to personal five elements
  → Someone lacking Water should avoid numbers with too much Fire or Earth

• The method does not apply to alphabet letters, as there is no official reference system

Each number is a five-element symbol – choose correctly, open the path to good fortune

If you are unsure how to choose a phone number, license plate, bank account number that matches your destiny, then the 60 Jia Zi method is the most scientific and easy-to-apply guide.

Method 8. How to apply the five elements of numbers to activate good fortune for someone lacking Water

Have you heard about choosing car numbers, phone numbers according to feng shui, but don't know how to choose correctly for a Water-deficient destiny? Don't worry - numbers are not just symbols, they also carry their own five-element energy. If you know how to leverage the five elements of each pair of numbers according to the 60 Jia Zi, you can scientifically and effectively "change your luck" with numbers.

1. Choosing numbers compatible with a Water-deficient destiny: Prioritize Ren Zi and Gui Hai

• Ren Zi (position 49 in the 60 Jia Zi) → strong Water element

• Gui Hai (position 60) → pure Water element

People lacking Water should prioritize choosing car numbers or phone numbers that include numbers equivalent to 49 and 60, or any combination where Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches converge into Water.

2. Practical example: Interpreting the five elements of car number 3305

• 33 → equivalent to Bing Shen (Fire Metal)

• 05 → equivalent to Wu Chen (Earth)

Although Bing Shen and Wu Chen are not purely Water, Shen + Chen + Zi can form a Water Tri-union in feng shui → still beneficial for someone needing Water.

Conclusion: Even if the numbers are not entirely Water, but they converge into Water, this is a good license plate for someone lacking Water.

3. Avoid clashes and "killing energy" in car numbers

Si – Hai is a very strong clashing earthly branch pair.
Example: Car number 7278 consists of:

• 72 = 12 = Yi Hai (Water)

• 78 = 18 = Xin Si (Metal – Fire)

Hai clashes Si → creates an "internal conflict" in the car number, easily leading to accidents or bad luck if the car owner's Ba Zi is unbalanced.

Avoid "Seven Killings" from Jia Zi

• If the Day Master (owner's destiny) is Geng Metal, then numbers with Bing Zi should not be used – because Bing is a "Seven Killing" for Geng → causing loss, disaster, misfortune.

4. Number 8888 – beautiful but not necessarily good for everyone

• Number 88 corresponds to position 28 in the Jia Zi cycle → Xin Mao
  → Mixed Metal and Wood, no Water.

If your destiny is Metal, Wood is "wealth" → this is a good number.
If you lack Water → this number does not provide clear feng shui benefits.

5. Application for phone numbers: Analyze each pair of numbers

Example: Phone number 92081747
Divided into pairs:

Overall: no Water, too much Earth – very unfavorable for someone lacking Water

Solution: Change phone number, choose a sequence containing 49, 60, 01, 13, 25, 37... (Jia Zi belonging to the Water element or Metal generating Water)

6. Principles for choosing personal feng shui numbers

Numbers are not just luck – they are destiny

Choosing the right car number, phone number, and bank account number according to your personal Five Elements will help you:

• Enhance good fortune
• Avoid unexpected disasters
• Balance missing elements in your Bazi
• Activate wealth and luck

Method 9. Do you have a noble helper? Discover the secret through Taiyuan in Bazi

In life's journey, some people always seem to find help at the right time – whether in their career, finances, or life's turning points. Is it just luck? According to Bazi theory, the answer lies in an element few people know about: Taiyuan – also known as "the destined heavenly secret from the womb."

What is Taiyuan?

Taiyuan is the Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch of the moment you were conceived, meaning the time the fetus began to form in the mother's womb – about 10 lunar months before you were born.

• If Bazi (the eight characters of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches of your birth day – month – year – hour) reflects your destiny and personality after birth,

• Then Taiyuan represents "heavenly gift" – the foundation of hidden virtues, blessings, and invisible support granted to you even before birth.

→ Strong Taiyuan, compatible with your Favorable God: you receive help from noble people, encounter much luck
→ Weak Taiyuan or conflicting with your destiny: receive less support, tend to rely on yourself, have a harder journey

The simplest way to calculate Taiyuan

1. Take your lunar birth month

2. Count back 10 months according to the lunar cycle → you get the Taiyuan month

3. From the Taiyuan month, determine the Heavenly Stem – Earthly Branch → this is your Taiyuan

Quick counting method:

• Heavenly Stem: Take the Heavenly Stem of the birth month, find the stem after it in the 10 Heavenly Stems cycle
  (Jia → Yi → Bing → Ding… → Gui → Jia)

• Earthly Branch: From the birth month, count back 10 lunar months, the third month after that will be the Taiyuan Earthly Branch
  (Because the gestation period is calculated as 10 months, but Taiyuan is placed in the third month)

Easy-to-understand examples:

Example 1: A person born in the month of Yi Wei (Metal Goat)

• Heavenly Stem of the birth month: Yi (Wood) → the next stem is Bing (Fire)

• The third month after Wei (Goat) is Xu (Dog)
  → Taiyuan: Bing Xu (Fire Dog)
  → If this person lacks Water, and Bing Xu does not contain Water, then Taiyuan does not provide support, meaning fewer noble helpers.

Example 2: A person born in the month of Ji Si (Earth Snake)

• Heavenly Stem of the birth month: Ji (Earth) → the next stem is Geng (Metal)

• Three months after Si (Snake) is Shen (Monkey)
  → Taiyuan: Geng Shen (Metal Monkey)
  → Geng Shen belongs to Metal, and Metal produces Water → This person lacks Water but Taiyuan provides support → it is very easy to have noble helpers

What does Taiyuan reveal?

Taiyuan does not completely determine destiny, but it is like "God-given capital" – having it is like having additional blessings.

Notes when interpreting Taiyuan

• Taiyuan is not the Favorable God, but your original fundamental energy

• It affects at a deep level – sometimes manifesting through help from parents, grandparents, elders, teachers, etc.

• Life Palace (Bazi) is still the main factor determining destiny, Taiyuan only provides support or warning

Method 10. Zodiac signs hold destiny: How can those lacking Water enhance their luck?

In Feng Shui and the Five Elements theory, each zodiac sign carries its own unique characteristics and influences on the destiny of those born under it. Specifically, people lacking Water (missing the Water element in their Bazi) can enhance their luck and improve their lives through career choices, actions, and living environments that align with Water.

Below is how each zodiac sign can leverage Water elements to improve their destiny.

1. People born in the Year of the Rat (Jia Zi, Bing Zi, Wu Zi...)

• Water is the dominant element of the Rat zodiac sign, especially in the Year of the Rat or the Month of the Rat.

• Personality: People born in the Year of the Rat often have a flexible, intelligent personality, are quick-witted, and know how to seize opportunities.

• How to improve destiny: To supplement the Water element, people born in the Year of the Rat can work in industries related to maritime, tourism, or aquaculture. Planting aquatic plants or regularly interacting with water (fish tanks, ponds) will also help enhance their luck.

2. People born in the Year of the Ox (Yi Chou, Xin Chou, Ji Chou...)

• Ox belongs to the Earth element, but Water can complement Earth very well.

• Personality: People born in the Year of the Ox have a steadfast, hardworking personality but can sometimes be a bit stubborn.

• How to improve destiny: To supplement Water, people born in the Year of the Ox can work in the water industry, aquaculture, or participate in water-related activities such as swimming, beach tourism. Especially, planting aquatic plants or engaging in water games will help them improve their fortune.

3. People born in the Year of the Tiger (Jia Yin, Bing Yin, Wu Yin...)

• Tiger belongs to the Wood element, and Water generates Wood, so Water can support and promote the development of people born in the Year of the Tiger.

• Personality: People born in the Year of the Tiger are strong, dynamic, but can easily become hot-tempered or impatient.

• How to improve destiny: To supplement Water for Wood, people born in the Year of the Tiger can work in aquaculture, tourism, or water-related activities. Water can calm them and help them maintain their composure when facing difficulties.

4. People born in the Year of the Rabbit (Yi Mao, Ding Mao, Gui Mao...)

• Rabbit belongs to the Wood element, and Water generates Wood, so Water is very beneficial for people born in the Year of the Rabbit.

• Personality: People born in the Year of the Rabbit have a gentle, creative personality, and like stability.

Method 11. Marriage and Water: Is divorce good luck or bad luck?

Marriage is not only a shared life but also an important factor affecting your destiny according to Feng Shui and the Five Elements. If you are considering divorce, have you ever wondered whether this decision will bring good luck or bad luck to your life? In this article, we will explore the relationship between marriage and Water and how Bazi can help you better understand your destiny.

Marriage is Water: Which zodiac animals are supported?

In Feng Shui, Water is the element symbolizing nurturing, harmony, and connection. People lacking Water often encounter difficulties in relationships, especially in marriage. However, according to Feng Shui beliefs, people born in the year of the Rabbit, Goat, and Pig (i.e., Mao, Mui, Hoi) have an important commonality: Marriage is Water for them.

This means that if you belong to one of these three zodiac animals, your marriage can bring the Water element, which means harmony, nurturing, and peace. If your relationship is not satisfactory, it is very likely that Water in your Bazi is problematic, preventing the marriage from developing as desired.

Divorce: Losing Water and improving fate?

If you are considering divorce, try to examine the Water element in your Bazi. Divorce can lead to a loss of Water, weakening your luck. When Water in Bazi is deficient, you may encounter difficulties in rebuilding marital and family relationships. However, remarriage can help you regain Water and create a new beginning for your life.

For example, a person born in the Year of the Goat (Mui) who goes through an unhappy marriage and decides to divorce may face difficulties in maintaining relationships later. However, if they remarry, the return of Water may bring them a new, peaceful, and fulfilling married life.

Suggestions: How to strengthen Water in marriage

If you feel your marital relationship lacks harmony, don't worry! You can completely improve your marital luck with some simple Feng Shui tips:

1. Decorate your home with water: Place a fish tank or pond in your home, especially in the North area (Water element) to enhance the Water energy in your living space.

2. Use water-related Feng Shui items: Items such as aquatic plants, ornamental fish tanks, or Feng Shui stones can help you attract Water energy, bringing harmony to your relationship.

3. Enhance communication: To build a strong marriage, communication is always key. Water symbolizes nurturing and care, so don't hesitate to share your feelings and build mutual understanding in the relationship.

4. Travel together: Sometimes, traveling near the sea or a lake can be a great way to recharge the Water energy in your relationship, creating a fresh and hopeful new beginning.

Does your marriage have Water?

Understanding Water in Bazi and how it affects your marriage is an important factor in improving your relationship and your own destiny. Divorce is not the end, but an opportunity for you to start over and embrace a married life full of energy and harmony. By using Feng Shui tips and knowing how to renew yourself, you can strengthen Water and have a more fulfilling married life.

Method 12. Sexual activity and Water: The relationship between Feng Shui and marital life

In Feng Shui and the Five Elements, Water not only symbolizes emotions and nurturing but also significantly affects your sexual life and marital relationship. So, how are sexual activity and Water related? Let's explore the impacts of Water in sexual life and how to maintain a happy marriage.

Sexual activity is Water: The Feng Shui mechanism in marital life

According to Feng Shui, Water can be expressed through behaviors in sexual life. People lacking Water (i.e., lacking the Water element in their Bazi) often struggle to maintain harmony in relationships, especially in their sexual life. Those born in the year of the Rabbit, Goat, and Pig (i.e., Mao, Mui, Hoi) may find that their sexual life has a special connection to the Water element.

This is an interesting theory, as people lacking Water often exhibit sexual behaviors with a Water nature, such as a desire for intimacy and connection in the relationship. If they cannot maintain Water in their marital life, they may seek this element elsewhere, leading to extramarital affairs.

Husband lacking Water: How to maintain a strong relationship

One important point is that if your husband belongs to the zodiac animals Mao, Mui, Hoi, you need to ensure that he receives enough Water in his married life. Then, he will not need to seek the Water element through other means. This can include strengthening your bond, providing emotional nurturing, and helping him feel loved and understood.

If a person cannot absorb Water in their marital life, they may seek this element outside, leading to the risk of extramarital relationships or affairs. Therefore, attention, sharing, and care in sexual life are very important for those lacking Water to maintain harmony and happiness in marriage.

Suggestions for maintaining a healthy marital relationship

To maintain a happy sexual and marital life, people lacking Water can apply some Feng Shui tips:

1. Nurture emotional connection: Create an environment full of love and understanding, where both spouses can share their feelings and desires.

2. Regularly express affection: Affectionate gestures, care, and daily attention will help increase Water in the relationship. This not only enhances sexual intimacy but also strengthens the couple's bond.

3. Support emotional nurturing: People lacking Water need to pay special attention to nurturing emotions in the relationship. A satisfying and connected sexual life will help them not feel deficient in Water.

4. Improve living space: Using Water elements in the living space such as fish tanks, watercolor paintings, or Feng Shui items with water elements can help create a favorable environment to enhance the Water element.

Water in sexual life and marital relationships

Water plays a very important role in sexual life and marital relationships, especially for those lacking Water. Understanding Water and how to maintain a harmonious marital relationship will help you and your partner always feel loved, understood, and connected. Don't forget that emotional nurturing and mutual care are factors that help marriages develop sustainably, especially for those lacking Water.

Method 13. Joy is Water: The secret to maintaining positive energy in life

In Feng Shui, Water is not only associated with water but also with emotions, relaxation, and joy in life. So, is joy an important factor that helps you create prosperity and good fortune in life? Especially for those born in the year of the Rooster, Dog, and Monkey, joy is the key element to attract good luck. Let's find out why people belonging to these three zodiac animals have an advantage in terms of spirit and emotion, and how you can apply this in daily life.

Joy is Water: Happiness helps prosperity

In the Five Elements, Water is related to emotions, freshness, and spiritual nourishment. For those born in the year of the Rooster, Dog, and Monkey, joy is Water in life. They easily attract positive energy and develop an optimistic, joyful attitude, which makes them always surrounded by good fortune.

If you belong to these three zodiac animals, maintaining a joyful mood will create a wave of positive energy, helping you attract many opportunities and develop your career. Even just by smiling and staying cheerful, you create a powerful impact on those around you and yourself.

Secrets to maintaining joy and good fortune

1. Organize annual birthdays: For those born in the year of the Rooster, Dog, and Monkey, organizing an annual birthday party will help create a joyful atmosphere, generate positive energy, and maintain connections with friends and family. This not only helps you relax but also brings new opportunities in life.

2. Laugh more: Laughter is one of the simplest but most effective ways to maintain a joyful mood. When you laugh, your body produces happy hormones, which help relieve stress and attract Water into your life.

3. Do joyful work: Both in work and personal life, participating in joyful activities, such as organizing parties, meeting friends, or attending community events, will help you nurture Water energy. Work with a joyful element will help you maintain a positive mood, reduce stress, and open up opportunities for career advancement.

4. Maintain an optimistic attitude: Those born in the year of the Rooster, Dog, Monkey need to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude towards life. This helps them always be surrounded by good luck and favor. Learn to view every challenge as an opportunity for growth and development.

Joy creates prosperity

It is important that for people born in other zodiac animals, joy is also very important, but joy cannot always help you naturally absorb Water. However, you can still create joy in your life through actions such as self-care, participating in social activities, or improving relationships with family and friends. These actions will help you maintain an optimistic spirit and open up new opportunities.

Joy is Water – The key to attracting positive energy

For those born in the years of the Rooster, Dog, or Monkey, joy is Water, helping them maintain good fortune and attract prosperity into their lives. Therefore, create a joyful and positive environment around you to attract good energy and ensure a smooth life. Remember, joy is not just a temporary emotion, but also an important element in feng shui, helping you build a successful and happy life.

Method 14. Cô Thần Quả Tú as Water: The secret to changing destiny and family life

In feng shui, Water is not only related to material elements but also deeply affects each person's spirit and emotions. However, for those born in the years of the Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon and lacking Water, having Cô Thần Quả Tú in their Bazi will lead to manifestations such as loneliness, introverted personality, or strong religious beliefs, even a tendency to become a monk to find inner peace. These factors are closely related to Water, and understanding this will help you change your and your family's destiny.

Cô Thần Quả Tú and its relationship with Water

Cô Thần Quả Tú not only symbolizes loneliness but can also reflect deep desires for love and emotional connection. Especially for those born in the years of the Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon and lacking Water, Cô Thần Quả Tú can be a sign of a lack of spiritual connection, leading to homosexual love or relationships that are difficult to explain by social norms.

By understanding the nature of Cô Thần Quả Tú, you can find ways to add Water to your and your family's life, helping family members regain the necessary balance and emotional connection.

How to change the destiny of a Water-deficient family

1. Keeping fish at home: Keeping fish is not only a way to create prosperity but also helps add Water to the home. Living in a water-rich environment, especially a feng shui fish tank, will help soothe tension and feelings of loneliness, while restoring balance for those lacking Water. You can choose fish such as goldfish, carp, or other fish with good feng shui meanings.

2. Decorate rooms with blue: Blue is the characteristic color of Water, and decorating rooms, especially children's bedrooms or study rooms, with blue will help create a fresh, relaxing space and support psychological issues. In particular, blue helps activate Water energy, thereby creating harmony and helping to reduce feelings of loneliness, helping children feel more connected to family and community.

3. Encourage communication and emotional connection: For those born in the years of the Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon and lacking Water, communication and emotional connection are extremely important. You can encourage children to participate in social activities, gatherings with friends, or religious ceremonies and activities to help them open up, release their introversion and feelings of loneliness. When the family maintains good connections and conveys love, Water energy will automatically flow in the living space.

4. Create a quiet space for understanding and sharing: For those with Cô Thần Quả Tú, spending time in a quiet space and seeking understanding from family and friends will help them restore mental stability. Create a space in the house where everyone can relax, think, and share their feelings without interruption. This will help create positive Water energy, expanding family relationships.

Reality and examples

If your children often hide in their rooms or show signs of homosexual love, this may reflect a lack of Water in their lives. To change this situation, you can start by keeping fish at home, decorating the room with blue, and especially creating opportunities for children to participate in healthy social activities. When the living environment is more balanced, your children will be able to integrate and find satisfaction in their relationship with themselves and others.

Helping families change their destiny with Water

For those lacking Water and having Cô Thần Quả Tú, changing the living environment to supplement Water is essential. By keeping fish, decorating the living space according to feng shui, and encouraging emotional connection, you can help your family overcome loneliness, find balance, and develop better relationships. Start with small steps and make gradual changes, and you will see a difference in your family's destiny.

Method 15. The Five Arts are Water: Secrets hidden in professions and relationships

In feng shui and the five elements theory, Water is not only related to natural elements but also affects professional fields and relationships in life. The Five Arts include Fate Calculation, Divination, Physiognomy, Medicine, and Cultivation Practice, each of these fields having a special connection with Water. Specifically, those lacking Water, especially those born in the years of the Rat, Dragon, Snake, Monkey, and Rooster, if working in professions belonging to the Five Arts, will be supported by Water energy, thereby bringing prosperity and good luck.

The Five Arts and the influence of Water

In the five elements, Fate Calculation can help people recognize their strengths and weaknesses, and suggest methods to improve their destiny, especially for those lacking Water. Those lacking Water born in the year of the Rat or Dragon can easily receive support from Fate Calculation, as Fate Calculation will provide methods to supplement Water into their lives.

2. Divination: This is an ancient method of predicting destiny through signs, numbers, or mystical means. Those lacking Water who work in fields related to Divination (such as astrology, fortune-telling, etc.) will have the opportunity to receive help from Water, as divination is a field closely linked to Water energy. In particular, those born in the year of the Snake and Monkey will easily thrive in this industry.

Physiognomy: Physiognomy is the act of determining a person's personality and destiny through physical characteristics such as face, hands, feet, etc. Those lacking Water who work as Physiognomists will help them adjust and balance the energy in their lives. Those born in the year of the Rooster or Monkey can easily learn and succeed in this field, as this work requires the ability to perceive and understand human nature, which is compatible with Water.

4. Medicine: Medicine, especially traditional healing methods such as acupuncture and massage, can benefit those lacking Water. Those born in the year of the Rat or Dragon who work in medicine will not only help others heal but also bring Water energy balance to themselves. Medicine is a field with a strong connection to Water, as it affects the human body, just as Water nourishes and regulates all functions in the body.

Take advantage of these professions to not only enhance your self-worth but also build a prosperous and happy life.

Method 16. Travel is Water: Why do movement and changing environments work for Water-deficient individuals?

Travel is not just a way to relax or explore the world, but for those lacking Water, trips also bring great benefits in terms of feng shui and financial fortune. Especially for those born in the years of the Ox, Tiger, Snake, Horse, Rooster, and Dog, moving and changing environments can supplement Water energy, thereby improving their destiny.

Travel and the effects of Water

• Travel is a form of changing space and living environment, and it can bring renewal to the Water energy in your life. Especially for Water-deficient individuals, going to places with a lot of water, such as the sea, lakes, rivers, streams, or areas with rich natural landscapes, will help supplement the Water element, increasing fortune and prosperity.

• Wandering, moving house, changing jobs, or moving furniture (such as moving tables, beds, chairs) are also actions with Water characteristics. These changes help people break free from stagnation, create freshness and dynamism, and are especially suitable for those who lack Water in their Bazi.

Why is movement effective?

For those lacking Water element, changing their living environment or job helps generate new energy flows, activating the movement of Water, thereby improving career, relationships, and health. A trip or a significant life change can increase flexibility and innovation in relationships and careers.

• Moving house: When moving to a new home, especially if it has a Water element (near a river, lake, or sea), the Water energy will refresh your life, bringing good fortune, wealth, and improved health.

• Changing jobs: Changing jobs not only creates new opportunities but also changes the energy in your life, helping you find a more suitable job, especially if the new job is related to the Water element (such as tourism, finance, or jobs requiring creativity and flexibility).

Advice for those lacking Water element: Travel and change of scenery

1. Travel to places with plenty of water: If you lack the Water element, choose travel destinations with rivers, lakes, seas, or other bodies of water. These places not only bring relaxation but also help you supplement the Water element, improving your destiny and creating new opportunities in your career and relationships.

2. Rearrange your living space: You can also supplement Water in your life by rearranging furniture in your home, moving your bed or desk. This not only makes your living space more airy and fresh but also activates positive energy flows, improving your luck.

3. Change jobs: If you feel your current job doesn't offer many development opportunities, consider making a change. A new job can bring you not only novelty but also a supplement of Water energy, making life more favorable and full of good fortune.

Practical examples

• A person born in the year of the Ox, lacking Water, decided to travel to a famous beach. After the trip, they felt more relaxed, their work became smoother, and their personal relationships also improved. The Water energy from the sea helped improve their fortune and brought them good opportunities.

• A person lacking Water born in the year of the Horse moved house and relocated to an area near a lake. They felt a significant improvement in their health, their work became more favorable, and their social relationships became more harmonious.

Try applying this method to see the positive changes in your life.

Method 17. Subordinates are Wood: Why do those lacking Water born in the year of the Rat, Dragon, or Monkey need many subordinates?

Subordinates or assistants not only help you handle work quickly and efficiently, but for those lacking Water, they are a crucial factor in supplementing Water energy, bringing good luck and favorability in their careers. Those born in the year of the Rat, Dragon, and Monkey especially need many assistants and subordinates, because their support can help enhance Water, which will directly affect their destiny.

Why are subordinates important for those lacking Water?

For those lacking Water born in the year of the Rat, Dragon, and Monkey, having many subordinates and assistants helps create a Water energy flow, thereby supplementing this element for themselves, improving their fortune in life and work. The more people who support them, the easier it is for them to receive help from positive energy sources, which helps increase good luck and improve relationships.

The "Guanyin Soldiers" story and the importance of subordinates

In Cantonese culture, the term "Guanyin Soldiers" is used to refer to men who achieve success with the help and guidance of women. This symbolizes the strong influence and support women have on men, and also refers to men who are willing to depend on others for success. For those lacking Water born in the year of the Rat, Dragon, and Monkey, having subordinates or assistants is like having a source of Water energy supporting them, helping them maintain stability and success in their work.

Consequences of employee layoffs

An important point for those lacking Water born in the year of the Rat, Dragon, and Monkey to note is that laying off employees can have negative consequences. Losing subordinates can mean losing Water energy, leading to a decline in their fortune. These individuals should strive to maintain stability in their staff and not be quick to lay off employees, as this can affect their ability to receive support and assistance from subordinates.

How to improve fortune through subordinates

1. Recruit and retain good employees: Those lacking Water should focus on building a strong team and retaining capable individuals. This will help them maintain the necessary support in their work and improve their fortune.

2. Build good relationships with subordinates: Maintaining a friendly, supportive relationship and building trust with subordinates is very important. When subordinates feel trusted and valued, they will work more effectively and bring more good opportunities to those lacking Water.

3. Ensure stable employment for subordinates: Those lacking Water not only need to recruit employees but also need to maintain stability and development for them. Providing a favorable working environment and supporting the careers of subordinates is a way to maintain stability in their own work.

Practical examples

• A person born in the year of the Dragon, lacking Water, always seeks out capable employees and maintains a strong team. With sufficient help and support from the team, their work becomes more favorable, and their financial luck and prosperity also increase.

• A person lacking Water born in the year of the Monkey always creates a positive work environment and encourages employees to develop their careers. Thanks to a strong team and dedicated support, they achieve great success in their careers and lives.

Subordinates play a very important role for those lacking Water, especially those born in the year of the Rat, Dragon, and Monkey. Maintaining and building a strong team will help them receive the necessary assistance, enhance Water energy, and improve their destiny. Pay attention to developing your team and maintaining good relationships with subordinates to create a solid foundation for long-term success.

Method 18. Explanation of the Five Elements and Water according to the I Ching

The I Ching, one of the great philosophies of ancient China, is not merely a system of divination but also contains profound insights into the relationship between the universe, humanity, and natural elements. In the I Ching, the Five Elements play a crucial role, with Water being one of the key elements. Below is an explanation of the elements belonging to the Water element according to the application of the Five Elements in the I Ching.

What is Water in the I Ching?

Water in the Five Elements not only symbolizes water but also encompasses characteristics such as flexibility, suppleness, fluidity, and unpredictability. Water can symbolize weakness but can also be strong, captivating, and have a significant influence in the process of creation and destruction. In the I Ching, Water represents many elements that can form and sustain life, but can also destroy everything if not properly regulated.

Elements belonging to Water in the I Ching

1. Theft, robbery, and the underworld:
   According to the I Ching, Water has yin, mobile, and uncontrollable characteristics. Therefore, those lacking Water tend to engage in activities like theft, robbery, or participating in illicit activities (the underworld). This explains why the actions of these individuals are "invisible," difficult to grasp, and uncontrolled, much like flowing water.

2. Occupations related to ships and wandering:
   This profession belongs to Water because ships are always related to water, moving across rivers and seas. People involved in these professions tend to prefer freedom, wandering, and instability, similar to the nature of Water — always changing and not fixed.

3. Pigs, fish, and water-related foods:
   Pigs and fish are creatures that live in water or need water to survive. According to the I Ching, Water is related to all things aquatic, so both pigs and fish carry the Water element in the Five Elements. Furthermore, foods related to seafood, such as fish and aquatic animals, also belong to the Water element.

4. Black color:
   Black is a powerful symbol of Water in the I Ching, as black is often associated with stillness, obscurity, like deep water that cannot be seen through. Black has a yin and profound nature, reflecting the "hidden" aspect of Water.

5. Rivers, streams, boats, clouds, water, wandering:
   All of these elements belong to Water, because water is present in nature as rivers, streams, seas, clouds, or movements like boats. The continuous movement of water from source to sea symbolizes change and ceaseless motion in life.

6. Soup, sour taste, ears, blood, kidneys:
   Soup and sour taste are related to water, as they are liquids or have soothing and relieving properties. The ears, blood, and kidneys in the human body are also considered to have Water properties, as the kidneys are the main organ regulating water in the body, and blood is closely linked to the Water element.

7. Moon, rain, clouds, dew:
   In the I Ching, Water is related to natural phenomena such as rain, clouds, and dew. The moon, although not water, influences the tides, which creates a connection between the moon and Water.

8. Wells, vinegar, salt, market:
   Wells contain water, and in the I Ching, wells are places for storing Water. Vinegar, although not water, is sour and made from liquid, belonging to Water. Salt, though cold in nature, is often mixed with water to create a saline solution, also related to Water. The market is a place for trading goods, and in some views, Water is also considered an element that links relationships and communication, as the market is where goods and people "flow".

According to the I Ching, Water is not just a natural element but also has a profound impact on behavior, occupations, colors, food, and even human body elements. Understanding the elements belonging to Water will help you perceive the relationship between elements in life and how to regulate and maintain the balance among the Five Elements, thereby bringing harmony to life, work, and health.

Method 19. The Secret of the Tý (Rat) Character and the Water Element

In the Five Elements, Water plays an important role for those lacking Water. Each zodiac animal and each character in the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches can strongly impact the destiny of those lacking Water. Especially, the Tý character is one of the important codes representing Water. Below are the secrets related to the Tý character and how to activate Water energy through each code.

Tý Water – The code of strength and also a challenge

Tý in the Five Elements not only represents Water, but also has profound meanings and influences on the health, relationships, and destiny of those lacking Water.

1. Tý Water and strong women
   The character Tý symbolizes strong women, like a queen in a palace. However, in some cases, Tý Water also represents women who are flirtatious, immodest, or have unhealthy sexual relationships. Those who have Tý Water luck, especially men, if not self-restrained, will easily contract social or venereal diseases.

2. Tý Water and health issues
   Females with Tý Water luck may experience gynecological health issues, but for females lacking Water, Tý luck does not cause any problems. A point to note is that when Tý Water appears in the destiny of those lacking Water, they will not have to worry about these issues, but for those with Ngọ luck, the situation may be different.

3. Tý Water and rats – assistants
   Tý also represents rats, and in some way, rats can symbolize assistants by your side. Especially, if you lack Water, those born in the month of Tý will provide significant assistance to you. Only by correctly calculating the birth month can you determine the influence of that person on your destiny.

4. Tý Water and spiritual elements
   The character Tý also represents elements belonging to the spiritual realm, especially mysterious things that only those who understand and have the ability to observe can perceive. However, for those lacking Water, having Tý luck will not encounter these problems, which can help them be more stable in life.

Water Element – Five codes and representative objects

In addition to Tý, there are 5 other codes representing Water, each bringing a special influence on the fortune of those lacking Water. Below are the codes to note:

1. Tý Water – Crown, rat, character Phúc, Buddha:
   Tý is a symbol of power and good fortune, with symbols like the crown and rat. Those lacking Water can look for these elements to complement their destiny.

2. Thân Metal – Travel, roads, Dịch mã, swimming, wandering, even falling:
   Elements such as travel, swimming, and wandering are all related to Water. If you want good fortune, focus on moving, changing your living space, or participating in flexible activities, such as traveling far or changing environments.

3. Thìn Moist Earth – Struggle, litigation, eloquence, language, quack:
   Thìn in Moist Earth is related to litigation and language issues. Those lacking Water can use their eloquence to achieve their goals, or need to be cautious in arguments, as these disputes can also help them develop their destiny.

4. Hợi Water – Official seal, yin thief, glib tongue, vast universe, physician:
   Hợi in Water represents deep understanding and medical elements. Those with Hợi luck can exploit and use health factors or participate in the medical field to increase their fortune.

5. Sửu Moist Earth – Going to mountainous areas, migration, joyful events, secret room, living by rivers and mountains, food god:
   Sửu represents stability and the ability to develop from nature. Choosing to live near rivers and mountains, or going to areas connected with water will strongly support those lacking Water.

Each code of Water plays a special role in balancing and promoting the destiny of those lacking Water. In particular, understanding these codes will help you more easily adjust your life and career, and also support you in combining with natural elements to increase your luck.

Method 20. The Secret of Thân – Water Code from Continuous Movement

According to the Five Elements and I Ching, Thân is one of the codes representing Water, carrying special significance for those who lack Water. If you belong to the group of people who need to supplement the Water element in your life, understanding and applying the "Thân code" correctly will help you have better fortune, thereby improving your wealth, health, and career.

What does Thân represent?

In the language of the I Ching, Thân is a symbol of transmission, movement, change, and fluidity. When your destiny encounters the Thân element, the more active you are, the more you travel, move, or change your living environment, the more Water energy you receive, which significantly improves your fortune.

"Water" activities related to Thân

1. Traveling, toiling, moving a lot
   Regular business trips, travel, even moving house, changing jobs... are all behaviors that "activate Water energy" for those lacking Water. If you feel your luck is stagnant, try... packing your bags and going!

2. Swimming, going to the beach, paddleboarding, cruising
   Activities involving direct contact with water always contain abundant Water energy. If you lack Water, make it a habit to swim weekly, or at least go to the beach 1-2 times a year.

3. Wandering, living freely or working in a "mobile" profession
   Working in fields such as tour guides, pilots, flight attendants, drivers, field reporters... are all professions belonging to the Thân code, helping you "recharge Water" naturally in your daily work.

4. Even... falling is Water
   In the I Ching, sudden actions such as falling, slipping are sometimes also considered expressions of Thân movement – belonging to Water. Of course, this is not the "recommended" way, but it shows that Thân is always associated with unexpected and rapid movement.

Suggestions for applying the "Thân code" to life

• Small feng shui tips: If you cannot travel far frequently, change the position of furniture in your home, especially your desk, bed, or sofa – "moving" also creates Water vitality.

• Suitable professions: Delivery services, transportation, on-site consulting, marketing, real estate brokerage – these are all industries that require a lot of movement, very suitable for those lacking Water.

• Supportive colors: When operating Thân, you can wear black, blue, dark gray to increase Water energy during the day.

If you lack Water, don't just look for water in the literal sense – but look for the movement, transformation, and toiling of Thân in life. Sometimes, just starting a short trip or moving your desk to a new direction, you have activated precious Water energy for your destiny.

Fortune is not a distant matter – just understand the correct code, and you can start changing from the smallest things.

Method 21. The Secret of Thìn, Hợi, and Sửu – three codes to help those lacking Water achieve good fortune

In the journey to restore the balance of the Five Elements, those lacking Water need to understand the five Water codes – among which Thìn, Hợi, and Sửu play a very special role. Each code not only represents a form of "Water energy" but also opens up specific application methods, helping to supplement Water energy in daily life, from housing to work, and even lifestyle.

Thìn – struggle to achieve good fortune

In the I Ching system, Thìn represents:

• Litigation, struggle, eloquence

• Argumentative thinking, debate

• Quack, "local healer" – someone who can heal with words, oral skills

Why is Thìn Water?
For those lacking Water, talking, debating, persuading others is an action that supplements Water. If you work in a profession related to communication, consulting, law, teaching, media, you are "practicing Water fortune" every day.

Practical suggestions:

• Work as a consultant, speaker, MC, teacher, lawyer, content creator, livestream salesperson...

• Participate in debates, workshops, presentations to activate "Water energy" through words

• Avoid being silent for too long or living in isolation – because that makes you lose your Water!

Hợi – healing, medicine, and cosmology

Hợi in the Five Elements is prosperous Water, representing:

• Official seal – symbol of knowledge, reputation

• Yin thief – the invisible world, spirituality

• Heavenly gate, heavenly medicine – medicine, healing, ability to save people

Hợi is the code for "healing with wisdom"
Do you lack Water? Seek out professions in medicine, therapy, spirituality, or simply live a life that is compassionate and healing for others. That's when Water is born most powerfully within you.

Application suggestions:

• Learn Reiki, Qigong, traditional medicine, psychology

• Read books, meditate, write about healing or medical topics

• Interact with people working in the fields of Medicine, Generals, Destiny, Mountains, Divination – the five industries called "five arts" that have very strong Water energy

Sửu – mountains and forests, dwelling, food god, and discreet actions

Unlike Thìn – bustling, and Hợi – vast, Sửu represents:

• Seclusion, migration, mountainous river regions

• Joyful events, secret room – discreet events but carrying great transformative energy

• Food god – representing cuisine and real nourishment

Sửu – Water through living environment and food
Those lacking Water can increase their fortune by moving to an area near rivers and mountains, or a quiet place surrounded by nature. In addition, pay attention to nutritional cuisine – eat soups, broths, watery foods, and live in a private, secluded space.

Feng shui tips:

• Decorate your home with blue, use a water filter, fish tank, water features

• Travel to areas with many mountains and rivers, especially in winter (strong Water element)

• Frequently organize small parties, cozy family meals – "joyful events" are also Water

The three codes Dragon – Pig – Ox are the gateway to good fortune for those lacking Water. Instead of seeking vague luck, you can fully actively "summon Water" through words (Dragon), healing (Pig), or changing your residence and lifestyle (Ox).

"To have good fortune, one must understand their destiny. To understand destiny, one must know the codes. Knowing the codes, everything can be changed."
