Is it correct for a person with a metal element to face southeast when transitioning to a new great luck?
No.The five elements (五行) are associated with directions. East belongs to wood (木), and the trigram is Zhen (震). West belongs to metal (金), and the trigram is Dui (兑). South belongs to fire (火), and the trigram is Li (离). North belongs to water (水), and the trigram is Kan (坎). Southeast belongs to wood (木), northeast belongs to earth (土). Southwest belongs to wood (木), and northwest belongs to metal (金).
Facing southeast when a person with a metal element transitions to a new great luck would be against their own fortune, as the five elements emphasize mutual generation and control. The term "transition of great luck" is actually a professional term in fate studies.
In fate studies, the transition of great luck refers to the change between ten-year major luck or five-year minor luck. A good transition usually means that the fortune during these ten years (major luck) or one year (minor luck) will be relatively smooth and free of major disasters.
The concept lies in the word "transition" (交). At the moment when two major lucks begin to transition, we should create the most harmonious, stable, and auspicious environment to ensure a smooth transition of energy.
