According to the Five Elements attributes of the Twelve Hours, people born in the Xu hour are of the earth element, and those born in the Chou hour are also of the earth element. They neither generate nor overcome each other. Whether two people are suitable for marriage depends on their specific birth charts and cannot be judged solely based on the Five Elements.

People with the earth element usually have a somewhat plump body shape. Many of them were round from childhood, with a large frame. They tend to gain weight easily, and their entire body tends to be fat. It's difficult for them to lose weight because it's not just about avoiding certain foods but also maintaining a regular exercise habit.
This is actually the biggest weakness of earth-type people, because they tend to be lazy by nature. Changing their routine and eating and exercising according to their body type may be the biggest challenge they face throughout their lives.
Earth-type people usually have large eyes, long and dense eyelashes, and eyes that are especially attractive. Their skin has a healthy glow; after sun exposure, they tend to darken evenly. Their hair is oily, with a brown tone, and they have a lot of hair that might be slightly curly. Their nails are thick, their hands are dry, they sweat moderately, and their pulse is deep, steady, and slow.
