Our third article in the Wu Xing series talks about the Earth element . This element is associated with the center of the Lo Shu square, and to the north-east and south-west directions, linked to the planet Saturn and with its energy represents the transition between the seasons.

And like in the Wu Xing cycle where the Earth element reduces Fire, feeds / produces Metal, controls Water and destroys Wood .

The sound associated with the earth element is song . In fact, many singers in their birth chart have a strong Earth element. For people with little land in their Ba Zi, the introduction of this element will give stability and greater security. But be careful not to overdo it! As the lack so the excess of Earth can cause melancholy, restlessness ...

The organs associated with this element are the stomach, spleen and mouth . The taste instead brings it back to sweetness. Do you eat too many sweets or do you like rice? One of the reasons could be that you have the element of Fire in excess and unknowingly balanced with Earth's foods.

According to Ba Zhai, for example, the Earth element together with the Metal element is suitable for strengthening the Nien Yen sector (relationships, love).

In the Flying Stars, on the other hand, the presence of the star 8 - associated with the Earth element - brings, among other things, wellbeing also the material one. A generic example: Activating the star with a Fontanella of Earth element, we will strengthen the Earth element of the beneficial star and with the flow of water we will activate it. This will bring us great benefits in work and in everyday life. Here, however, we must make sure that a Feng Shui analysis has been carried out first and the treatment will be introduced correctly.

But be careful with the analysis. There are two more harmful flying stars which belong to the earth element! Incorrect introduction of furniture with this element could cause a reinforcement of their unwanted negative influences.

Generally, to introduce the Earth element in our environment it is recommended to use square or cubic objects, shades of brown and yellow - all associated with this element.
