Can you color what is my remedy element?
Asked by C***n |
Your Five Elements (Wu Xing) have too many Earth and are lack of Water. Your Day Master is Earth and it needs to be supported by Metal element. Also, you should avoid to have more Water.
I’m wondering what is my remedy element? I am an Earth person but appear to have too much earth? Is that correct?

1. Your Day Master is Earth
This means your core personality is represented by the Earth element. Think of your Day Master as "You" at the center of the chart.
2. You Have "Too Much Earth"
This means there are many other Earth elements (branches or stems) in your chart surrounding your Day Master. In BaZi terms, this creates a condition of Excess or an Overpowered Day Master.
Analogy: Imagine you are an Earth person (say, a mountain). If there are many other mountains and rocks around you, it becomes crowded. There is no space for anything else to grow or flow. You become inflexible, stubborn, and unable to express your true self because you are being "over-supported" or mimicked by your surroundings.
3. Why You Need Metal (Your Remedy)
For an Overpowered Earth Day Master, the goal is to create balance by reducing the excessive Earth and create a more harmonious chart.
This is achieved by using the Productive Cycle of the Five Elements:
Earth produces Metal.
By introducing the Metal element, you give all that excessive Earth a job to do. Instead of the Earth energy sitting there stagnant and causing problems, it is now being used productively to "create" or "feed" the Metal element.
Metal acts as an outlet for the excessive Earth energy, thereby weakening the "too much Earth" situation and bringing the chart closer to balance.
This is why Metal is your remedy. It doesn't directly strengthen you (the Earth Day Master); it strengthens a favorable element that helps balance the entire system by draining the excess.
4. Why You Should Avoid Water
This part is the most counter-intuitive but is absolutely correct based on your chart's structure.
The Conquering Cycle is: Earth controls (or dams) Water.
In your case, the Earth is already excessive and too strong.
If you add Water, all that strong Earth will immediately work to control, dam, and block that Water. This creates a conflict.
Furthermore, because the Earth is so strong, it will likely "win" this battle, defeating the Water. This is not only ineffective but can be draining and create frustration, as you're investing energy (Water) only to have it blocked and wasted.
It would be like trying to water a gigantic, hard-baked clay pot—the water just runs off the sides without being absorbed.
