How to calculate the element
To calculate the elements, two methods are used.
By the last date of the year of birth.
For example, for someone born in 1993, the extreme number is 3. In accordance with it, the element is calculated using the following ratios:
- numbers of the earth element – 8.9;
- metal – 0.1;
- fiery – 6.7;
- woody – 4.5;
- water – 2.3.
According to a special algorithm
The second method is more complicated. For girls, it is done according to a special algorithm: from the 2 numbers that end the year of birth, we subtract 4. We divide the resulting value by 9, as a result, the number in the remainder determines the element.
For example, at birth in 1986, we subtract 4 from 86, we get 82. Then 82 is divided by 9, we get 9.1. Therefore, the value for calculating the element is 1.
Numbers indicating elements:
- earthly – 8.5.2;
- metal – 7.6;
- fiery – 9.0;
- wood – 3.4;
- water – 1.
If the values of the two methods are different, you can use colors related to the two elements.
