Astrology It’s Element - ary, My Dear Watson
What kind of RAT are you?
The Five Chinese Elements are WOOD, FIRE, EARTH, METAL & WATER. If you are a Water Rat, you are not the same sort of Rat as your friend who is a Wood Rat. Ditto Fire Horses. Fire Horses are feistier and more obstreperous than calmer, more serious Earth Horses. Here’s how it works:
To allow for movement to occur and bring about change, Chinese philosophy calls upon the five elements as agents of change and reaction. Change, the Chinese think, derives from the influence of the five main elementsWood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Wateron the basic Yin or Yang energies. Like in the old rock, paper, scissors game that we played as kids, each of these five Chinese elements has the ability to control and/or destroy the previous element, and is capable of producing the element that directly follows it. In the regenerative cycle of the elements, Water engenders Wood. Wood begets Fire. Fire burns to Earth. Earth creates Metal and Metal gives way to Water.
Wood is characterized by the color green. Wood heralds the beginning of life, springtime and buds, sensuality and fecundity. Wood’s influence affects the liver, the gallbladder and, by extension, the digestion. Wood needs moisture to thrive. Its two opposite yet equally emotional forces are rage and altruism. The Wood person will be expansive, outgoing and socially conscious.
Wood, in its turn, can create and nourish Fire. Fire’s signatory color is red. Fire is hot weather, satisfaction of nature, aridity and dust. The tongue and the small intestine are the centers of attention in the Fire person’s body. Fire makes heat, which either warms or burns. The Fire person must constantly seek to balance a tendency to explode and possibly destroy, against a desire to create coziness and warmth. Passionate by nature, this impatient, ebullient person must strive to keep his flame under control.
Earth is created from the ashes of the Fire. Now we are in the soothingly satisfying late summer cycle. Earth’s favorite color is yellow, which represents the equanimity between beginnings and. endings. The weather of Earth is mild or temperate. In the human body, Earth influences spleen, pancreas and mouth. Earth’s two opposite but equal forces which need to be kept in constant balance are enhancing and smothering. On the one hand Earth gives care and allows for growth and improvement. On the other, Earth buries roots and snuffs out breath. Earth people are gifted for fairness and have the ability to commit themselves to protracted projects and complete Herculean tasks with ease. They must struggle against a penchant for worry.
The Earth grows Metal in her veins. Metal says white and autumn. Metal is cool, crisp weather. Metal’s effect on the body centers in the lungs and respiratory system. It only secondarily rules the large intestine and the nose. Metal people like to communicate. They need to keep discord and harmony in constant balance. Metal signifies the onset of winter. Its influence can sometimes add sadness or gloom to an astrological chart. Two of Metal’s emotional forces are melancholy and romance. I see Metal as Wagnerian. Metal people must guard against a tendency to wallow in nostalgia.
Lastly, Metal begets Watergroundwater trickling its way through layers of the Earth’s ore. Water’s color is blue. Its season is full-blown winter. Water is always moving, fluid, and mutational. In our bodies, water’s influence affects our plumbing systems, the kidneys and the bladder. The ear, too, comes under the spell of Water. Hence people born in Water-ruled years are frequently musical. They pick up on everything. Be it good or bad, they never miss a vibe. Water-ruled creatures are always very sensitive and sometimes even mentally fragile. The downside of Water’s influence, then, is a stressful nervousness. To balance that fidgety, squeamish, overly sensitive side, Water endows its subjects with the noblest quality of all, kindness and sympathy. Sometimes too permeable, the Water-ruled must take precautions against drowning in the chagrin of those they see as less fortunate than themselves.
So, the five elements cause a lot of the commotion and are responsible for creating and maintaining both balance and imbalancefor moving things around and making life interesting. These purveyors of change can be controlled or not, depending on how one manages them.
Each animal year of the Chinese zodiac has been assigned one of the five elements. That element turns up twice in the cycle going away for another ten years. The five elements are always presented in the above order. Once we know this, we can understand how the elements directly affect us and pertain to individual characters.

Your Chinese Astrological Zodiac Animal Sign is based on your Chinese Lunar Year of Birth. The Chinese New Year is movable and could start anywhere between 21st January and 20th February, depending upon the year.
If your Date of Birth falls into any of these below listed Chinese Lunar Years, then, because you are born in the Year of the Snake, you are symbolically identified as a “Snake” :
In Chinese Hsia Calender, 2006 is the 4703rd year and is also the third year of the New Fengshui Land Luck Period 8. The new Chinese Lunar Year is from 29.01.2006 to 17.02.2007. Here are the Annual Forecasts and suggested Fengshui & Crystal Remedies that you may need for the coming “New Year 2006 : Bing Xu, the Year of the Yang Red Fire Dog” :
From 04 Feb 1905 to 24 Jan 1906
From 23 Jan 1917 to 10 Feb 1918
From 10 Feb 1929 to 29 Jan 1930
From 27 Jan 1941 to 14 Feb 1942
From 14 Feb 1953 to 02 Feb 1954
From 02 Feb 1965 to 20 Jan 1966

From 06 Feb 1989 to 26 Jan 1990

CAREER :
An exceptionally fruitful year filled with plentiful opportunities. A satisfying career with a lot of privilege and comfort. Hard work will payoff immediately. You will easily outperform all others in the fray. Benefactors will lift you up every step of the way. Those who are employed can expect a promotion and pay rise. Some will switch to better jobs, even overseas posting. Those who are in business will expand their activities, some will start branches abroad. Those of you in brokering, agency business, production based incentives, teaching, PR, law and insurance will enjoy an extra blissful period. The first half of the year is better than the second half of the year, luckwise. But you will get guidance and help when you need. Avoid taking aggressive stances against colleagues and subordinates, as that could lead to some back-stabbing. One wrongly uttered work could collapse everything. Stubborness could lead to many failures. If you are in partnership, then guard against being cheated. To inspire, guide and protect, place the statue of the mighty Kuan Kung in the North West. Chances of a theft in workplace is quite high.
MONEY :
Good and stable money luck throughout the year will keep you happy. Avoid extravagent spending though. The excellent interpersonal relationship skills that you enjoy this year will bring in new money making opportunities. Make more and more investments. However, keep off mindless gambling and speculative business. You may have to foot some expensive medical bills. Some of you may be duped by unproven “insider tips” and lose money in the process.
HEALTH :
In general, good health. Elders should be careful of accidents, especially when taking the staircase. Keep yourself clean. Sleep and rest as much as you can. There could be some minor accidents when travelling.
LOVE :
Good love and relationship luck this year. Singles should seriously consider marrying. Married couples should watch their spouses for extramarital affairs. Unwanted relationships are on way. Self-control is a must. Resolve conflicts as and when they arise. If in doubt, display the icon of a Rooster in the South West of the bedroom. A recreational trip with family will be of much help.
Beneficial Crystal : Malachite, for 2006
Good Relationship with : Rooster & Ox, for 2006
Conflict with : Tiger, Snake & Pig, for 2006
Yin/Yang : Yin

If you need to shoulder more responsibilites, do so willingly. Do not presume anything. But be open to new ideas. The more hard work you put in, the better results you will get. Your focus should be on your immediate tasks only. Do not go for any long term investments. Avoid communication gaps at any cost. You will get good help from your network of friends or from powerful people if you look for it. Obstacles will be there, but you can get through them. Grab any overseas posting or foreign opportunity that comes your way. Be extra careful when you travel, as there is a chance of losing official luggage with files and documents. If you are in export or artistic business or strategic planning or event management or catering to the special needs of males, like men’s fashion, clothing, etc., you will do well. Keep the combined statue of Dragon and Phoenix alongwith Kuan Kung in the North, to manage smoothly.
