Chinese Zodiac Best Match for Elements
The 5 elements or 5 agents are essential forces acting on the universe of signs. Movement and fluctuation, Yin and Yang, these symbolic forces are in perpetual action and interaction. The Chinese term Hing, which designates them, means to walk – to act. They follow the order in accordance with the succession of the seasons.
For these forces to remain in balance and for the cycle to work, they must follow laws, of which here are the 2 main ones.
The cycle of creation or rising
Wood generates Fire (wood burns and feeds fire)
Fire generates Earth (fire and its ashes nourish the earth)
Earth generates Metal (metal is extracted from the earth)
Metal generates Water (metal enriches water)
Water generates Wood (water nourishes wood so that it can grow)
The cycle of destruction
The destruction of an element occurs when the element which precedes it is deficient leaving it at the mercy of the element responsible for nourishing its creative element.
Wood destroys the Earth (wood exhausts the Earth)
Earth destroys Water (earth absorbs water)
Water destroys Fire (water extinguishes fire)
Fire destroys Metal (fire melts metal)
Metal destroys Wood (metal cuts wood)
In Chinese astrology, the elements reflect our behavior towards the outside. Each element is closely associated with a number.
