More on Birth Energy

The Five Elements, Wood, Water, Earth, Metal and Fire, mentioned before, are also a factor in birth energy. Just as with the animals each birth energy chart will have a combination of elements that influence each other and a dominant “element.” The year date, the month, the day, the hour and the location will have both an animal and an “element.”  Understanding how all of these various energies interact can help us understand others and ourselves. It helps us to understand our strengths and weaknesses and what we can do to live in balance in our own lives and with others.

 But, that isn’t the final word on birth energy.  We also have to consider positive and negative energy or yin and yang. All energy or chi is in constant motions, seeking balance. Yin represents passive energy and yang represents active energy.  Everything contains more or less of both yin and yang because everything is always in a state of transition. This is really the foundation of the Universe. Modern physicists tell us that there is a strong force, which binds quarks together in protons, neutrons, and other hadrons and also holds neutrons together in a nucleus and there is a weak force that is observed in radioactive decay. Gravity is a weak force and electromagnetism is a strong force. The push and pull or expansion and contraction of these forces cause the whole universe to vibrate. Or we could say cause the dance of the Universe. In Feng Shui,  yang is heaven energy and yin is earth energy. To put it into human terms yin and yang describes the cycle of challenge and response. Understanding how yin and yang influence each other and how they are expressed in humans and the environment allows us to use the principle of yin and yang to create harmony and balance in our lives and in the Universe.
