Does a person with a Metal element need help from a person with an Earth element?
The Five Elements are in a relationship of mutual overcoming, like war, where they are opposing each other. According to "Bai Hu Tong Yi", the reason why the Five Elements overcome and harm each other is because of the nature of heaven and earth. The many overcome the few, so water overcomes fire; the refined overcomes the firm, so fire overcomes metal; the strong overcomes the soft, so metal overcomes wood; the concentrated overcomes the scattered, so wood overcomes earth; the solid overcomes the empty, so earth overcomes water. The Five Elements cycle through mutual generation and overcoming, and everything is determined by heaven, with no room for human intervention. Wood can overcome earth, but when there is too much earth, it will break the wood. When earth is too strong, it can even overcome wood. Wood is the one that overcomes earth. In the case of the Five Elements, when earth is strong and metal is lacking, it is necessary to have metal assistance, but water should not be excessive.Among the Five Elements, there exists a relationship of mutual generation and overcoming: wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood. A person with an Earth element can help a person with a Metal element. Therefore, if a Metal element person has an Earth element, it must be the Earth element's good fortune, which can bring great help, and can be considered as a guide or mentor, greatly benefiting the Metal element person.
Is it good for a person with a Metal element to have too much Earth element in their destiny?
The Earth element represents trustworthiness. A person with a Metal element and too much Earth element has a gentle character, is loyal and filial, and values integrity, always keeping promises. If it is auspicious, this person is trustworthy, has a gentle character, and has good relationships, making them a merchant with integrity, whose business is prosperous and trusted by customers.If it is inauspicious, there are two situations: one is excessive, and the other is insufficient. When there is too much Earth, the person tends to be stubborn, rigid-minded, and unable to adapt flexibly, without great ambitions. They are unsuitable for high-profit, high-risk jobs requiring investment thinking, and often face failure in investments.
A person with a Metal element and too much Earth is more introverted and quiet. Being too trustworthy and valuing interpersonal relationships makes them prone to being deceived. Their luck is bad, and they may be cheated by dishonest merchants, hindering the development of their career.
