S1 Water
S1 Water
The Water Element needs to be of service to others in order to be valuable.
- Water’s life cycle begins in Autumn (produced by metal);
- Winter is the season of water but unlike the other elements (wood, fire, metal) water does not peak in its own season. In winter, water freezes and is relatively useless. It needs fire to help make it useful.
- The ice thaws in Spring and water becomes useful in giving life to wood. Therefore, water attains its prime in Spring.
- Water dries up in Summer.
I am S1 Water
- I am like the Ocean.
- I am very flexible and adaptable.
- Sometimes I do not know my own strength and I am not aware how I affect people around me.
- I often thrive in careers involving sales and marketing.
Fire to
Water
Compatible, but tends to be excessive, strong, turbulent and unmanageable.
Fire to
Earth
Earth impedes the flow of water, hence generally incompatible, except for a brief period in early Winter when some earth is needed to channel (manage) the copious water flow.
Fire to
Wood
Compatible, but less so in Autumn when wood declines and is unable to absorb water (rot).
Fire to
Fire
Contrary to popular notion, fire is not hostile to water. In fact, water needs fire in Winter and early Spring to thaw and become useful. Winter water without fire will be quite useless. Compatible.
Fire to
Metal
Although metal produces water, uncontrolled production has undesirable effects (floods). Moreover, metal will sink (drown) in the water it produces. Hence incompatible.
