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.
