The elements of Chinese astrology are believed to be associated with the five planets in the Solar System. The planet Mars is associated with the element of Fire, Saturn with Earth, Mercury with Water, Jupiter with Wood, and Venus with Metal. These five elements are believed to have an influence with one another, mostly by overcoming each element—that is, water can overcome fire, wood generates fire, or other similar ideas. Obviously, these elements have paved way to the idea of Chinese astrology.
Most sages believe that these elements affect the lives of people. Some of these people carry the same characteristics as their elements, and this idea, in turn, this fact relatively influences the way that people interact with their society. At times, we may notice that people are too feisty, or they are sometimes too shy. Apparently, these characteristics are influenced by the five elements of Chinese astrology.
Now how is this possible, you ask? Ancient Chinese sages believe that these five elements of Fire, Earth, Water, Wood and Metal coexist directly with the seasons, colors, directions, and other aspects. For example, the element of Wood is correlated to Spring and the color green, which is apparently connected with the idea of nature. Fire, on the other hand, is often connected to the idea of passion and the color red. Furthermore, Chinese astrology has the belief that each of these elements has a lot of influence on people because they have bestowed different characteristics to the twelve animals of the zodiac. The twelve animals represent the years that people are born, therefore pointing out that their characteristics are somehow passed on to the people who are born in the years that they represent.
One element of the Chinese astrology is Metal. This symbol represents a triumph and business and harvesting. Most people who are born under this element are known to be very dependable individuals. Their responsible nature brings them triumph in any field that they wish to be good in. Another element is Water, which is known to represent artistry. Water can take any shape, and in the same manner, people who are born under this element can be flexible in any situation that they are in. People who possess the Water element are also communicative, and they have a penchant for traveling.
Earth is an element representing the virtues of honesty and patience. People who are born under this element are known to be very principled and responsible. However, they are also known to have a balance of fun and seriousness in their personalities. Wood is a symbol of creativity and innovation. People who are born under this sign are known to possess natural artistry in the endeavors that they take. They also have the capability to care much for the people that are dear to them. Lastly, the element of Fire is the boldest element of the five. People who are born under this sign are known as very enthusiastic and passionate for their goals. They are also known as spontaneous individuals.
