60-Year Cycle (Zodiac) Name Theory Blind Spots
2. How to Determine the Zodiac Based on the Radical of the Five Elements?
For example, Zi Water corresponds to the Rat, and Hai Water corresponds to the Pig. Therefore, when the Zodiac encounters a radical related to water, should we discuss water? The Rat? Or the Pig? This is a question that requires further discussion.
For instance, for someone with the surname “Hong” who belongs to the Horse, if we discuss water, it could mean that water and fire are in conflict; it might also indicate a balance between water and fire or an imbalance. If we discuss the Rat, it suggests a clash between Zi and Wu, indicating a weak bond with the mother or excessive discipline from her. If we discuss the Pig, it means Hai Water overcomes Wu Fire, suggesting that my mother cares deeply about my behavior patterns but disciplines me appropriately. In such cases, how should one choose?
Similarly, Yin Wood corresponds to the Tiger and Mao Wood corresponds to the Rabbit. Therefore, when encountering a radical related to wood in the Zodiac, should we discuss wood? The Tiger? Or the Rabbit? This is another question that warrants discussion. For example, for someone with the surname “Song” who belongs to the Tiger: if we discuss wood, it indicates mutual support and friction between oneself and one’s mother; if we discuss the Tiger, it symbolizes two tigers competing for one cave, suggesting frequent disputes with one’s mother; if we discuss the Rabbit, it implies that a Tiger preys heavily on Rabbits, indicating that my mother is very fearful of me. In such cases again, how should one choose? Note: The same reasoning applies to other elements; no need for further elaboration… To be continued
