Dear David,

A person's favourable element is never just one element.

A Strong Fire has 3 different favourable elements:-

1. Earth (yellow)
2. Water (blue/black/gray)
3. Metal (white/gold) also known as the wealth element.

So in fact you can use any of the above 3 different elements in different parts of your life to enhance your luck. Even for your Five Element, there are different percentage for each element so sometimes certain element that you have too much you do not want to have too much more, instead it is often better to have a balance element.

ie. 5 element each broken in percentage whereby all elements should try to achieve 20%. So those, which you have too much you want to try to reduce by adding more of the elements you lack.

So there is no one element which is best for you. Thus, you have a freedom of applying feng shui to your life.

As mentioned, a person's luck is influence by:-

1. His own personal luck, having more favourable colour clothings helps in day to day affair. (Tian Cai / Yun - Heaven Wealth Luck)

2. The house is the next most important factor, having a favourable house will being you most luck compared to anything else. (Di Cai / Yun - Earth Wealth Luck)

3. A persons career is also another factor which affects his (Ren Cai / Yun - Human Wealth Luck)

4. A persons family - ie the parents, spouse and children each have a different element. ie a Strong fire, weak water person etc. So having a person of a favourable element is helps you. This is also the same in the office environment (where working with favourable element person will often be more successful then working with an unfavourable element person.). (Ren Cai / Yun - Human Wealth Luck)

5. Your Chinese Name - a person's most called item which also suppose to help your ba zi Heaven Luck.

So these are the many areas which you should be trying to increase elements in different areas such as:-

ie a Strong Fire person, staying in an East facing house (Wood), Having a career in IT (Metal), while having a Spouse (weak Earth). Driving a Blue colour car (Water).

This is how to a achieve and maximise luck. It has nothing to do with much physical items such as jade etc. I mean if you like jade and it makes you feel good, by all means go ahead and get it.

However, in terms of Feng Shui point of view, it is not so much of such physical items that you should be going after, but rather trying to maximise your Heaven, Earth and Human luck. And among the 3 the Earth luck your home is ultimately the most important factor as it can superceed the Heaven Luck and even Human Luck.

Many times, lots of Feng Shui practitioner / masters always practice Human Luck (ie buy this and that so call 'feng shui item' like a $888 3 legged toad etc). However, these items does not give you magical or miracle improvement in luck. ie buying it does not mean you earn 10 times back.

Spending more time with your family and children (ie education them, will result in them being able to lead a good life and thus you will enjoy life later on from your children) - Thus, earning gains from your Human Luck (from a filial children who looks after his parents).

Hope that helps.

Warmest Regards
Robert Lee
