The Five Elements Of Feng Shui Astrology

Feng Shui astrology is an ancient discipline base on Yin, Yang and the five elements theory. Yin stands for negative energies and Yang for the positive energies. When these two energies are properly balanced they create positive influences in your life.

A proper adjustment of these five elements helps to regain control of your life. All the five elements in Feng Shui astrology have their own unique properties and should be used properly. These elements are water, wood, fire, metal and earth. All these elements assist in balancing the competing energies in your home by supporting each other’s energy.
