    The Five Basic Elements of 
	the Universe 
	− Fire, Earth, Water, Metal, and Wood − are understood as different 
	types of energy in a state of constant interaction and flux with one 
	another.

    Searching for Balance 
	
    The most important of all is the
	balance of all five elements. 
	The movements of five elements are stable and predictable when they are in 
	balance, and vice versa. When you are in a stable five-element 
	environment, and everything is under control, you live peacefully and feel 
	lucky. When you are in an unpredictable environment, you feel bad luck and 
	are easily out of control. Bring your five elements into balance if you want 
	to be a lucky person.

			The five 
			basic elements ‒ the five phases of transformation, or five 
			energies, that determine the course of natural phenomena − arise 
 from the intermingling of
			
			Yin and
			Yang. This manifestation of all phenomena is seen as a cyclic 
			process, an endless coming into being and passing away, as 
			everything, upon reaching an extreme stage, transforms into its 
			opposite. The underlying shared characteristic of Yin and Yang 
			therefore consists in giving rise to this continuous change.  |
