Is there a certain order that the element reactions should take place?Let’s say for example:
Yang Earth Yang Fire Yang Wood Yin Wood
Yang Water Yang Earth Yin Earth Yin Fire
How would one read the reactions of elements. Like does generation or destruction take prevalence or is there a certain order that one should consider things when evaluating one’s Four Pillars. Kind of like the order of operations in math.
For example: Metal destroys Wood but in the presence of Water, Metal generates Water which helps Wood. What are the rules like that?
Thanks.

Hi
There is no fixed order of elements. Every chart is unique and should be read differently. Whilst the cycle of elements is one of the techniques used in the reading of a natal chart, other factors such as arbitrating, medicating and regulating come into play in layering the elemental interactions. We also need to consider the natural pairing between elements to look for nobility and quality in a chart. These are just some of the techniques taught in Ba Zi.

In year 2003, we bought a 2nd hand flat and engaged a Feng Shui master before doing the renovation. Our unit is described as: your residence sits in the south, at the wu bearing and faces north at the zi bearing. It should have water flowing inwards. When using the flying star calculator, which is my facing? South or North? My house should be a period 7 house, how do I make it to period 8? Thanks for helping.

Hi PetMC12
You need to measure again with a reliable compass as North2 - South2 bearing for a residence is not auspicious according to Feng Shui which equates it with Death & Emptiness Line. The directional Qi is too strong. Changing to Period 8 is not necessarily auspicious for you as other factors have to be considered. Anyway, for a flat, it is not possible to make a period change for individual units unless the whole building is also subjected to the change.
