What is "hunger water" (饿水) means the need. We all know that the five elements in the Chinese philosophy are "Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth", so there are several major classifications such as "Hunger Metal", "Hunger Water", "Hunger Wood", and "Hunger Fire". Careful readers may notice why there is no "Hunger Earth". Well, there isn't any "Hunger Earth" here. Let's not get into that for now. First of all, the Huayi net editor will explain what is "Hunger Water" (饿水命).
What is Hunger Water (饿水命)?
Hunger Water (饿水命) is a type of fortune-telling (算命), from the "Book of Changes" — the section on "Hunger Water". Those born in the months of Si (蛇), Wu (午), and Wei (未) (i.e., between May 5th to August 8th in the Western calendar) have extremely hot "eight characters" (八字), which belong to the element of Fire. People born during this time, regardless of their zodiac sign, are considered "Hunger Water". Additionally, those born in the month of Xu (戌), which is from October 8th to November 8th, are also considered "Hunger Water", but with Wood being the priority. For example, Du (杜) represents the Wood element.
The first type is when there is insufficient Water, and it needs Metal to generate more Water to strengthen it.
The second type is when there is too much Hot Earth, and it needs Water to cool it down and to support Wood.
The third type is when it is scorched by Fire, and it needs Water to extinguish the Fire.
The fourth type is when Wood is split by Metal, and it needs Water to nourish the Wood to strengthen it.
The fifth type is when there is an excess of Metal, and it needs Water to drain its energy.
The sixth type is when the entire configuration is dominated by Water, thus it actually needs more Water.
Those born in the months of Si (巳), Wu (午), and Wei (未) (May 5th to August 8th in the Western calendar, and October 8th to November 8th) have extremely hot "eight characters". Regardless of their zodiac sign, they are all considered "Hunger Water". In addition to Water, other elements like Wet Earth or Metal might also be needed, but the most urgent is "Water". People with "Hunger Water" must avoid Fire and Hot Earth.
This is an eight-character configuration with excessive Fire, so it requires a lot of Water to balance it. As the saying goes, "Water and Fire should complement each other," but it must be generated by Metal. However, those born between May and June, if their eight characters include "Chou" (丑) and "You" (酉), can form a "Si You" Metal configuration, reducing the Fire element. This is an exception. Most people are "Hunger Metal" and "Hunger Water", but remember that Water comes first, followed by Metal. Water is the top priority.
Additionally, those born in the month of Xu (戌), i.e., from October 8th to November 8th, are also considered "Hunger Water", but with Wood being the priority.
People born in the third, sixth, ninth, and twelfth lunar months should have a vegetarian diet, even eating a long-term vegetarian diet. It is essential to use Wood to loosen the Earth. In such families, it is advisable to hang a Xiao (箫) or a flute, and to buy a wooden fish for reciting scriptures. This is not for religious reasons, but because of the sound of Wood when the wooden fish is struck! When someone suddenly starts learning to play the Xiao or flute, you can tell that he was born in one of these four months. People born in these four "Earth" months never have a good "real estate" luck, and it's better for them to eat vegetarian food.
