Dear Keo Keo,

There are two `levels' of analysis when using Chinese `tools':-

1. The most common is where we browse through any Chinese Astrology books, one will find that each of us as you mentioned were born in a particular year such as the year of the snake. And this zodiac sign is looked at in terms of compatiblity with loved ones.

In fact, most Chinese Zodiac books will be similiar to the evaluation for eg. in the web such as www.lovesigns.net.

2. Overall, under Para 1, we are looking generally at a person's trait based on his year of birth only.

3. In more advanced Chinese Astrology or using a similar method such as Pillars of Destiny; the Year, Month, Day, Hour and House of Life and House of Conception pillars are looked at.

Here, this is a more accurate view of a person especially since it maps out one's "stems and branches".

For the Year, Month, Day and Hour chart there are a total of 8 stems and branches to be looked at.

4. Furthermore, the strength of a person's element is being looked into. For example, take the case of the mother who is found to be a weak wood person. However, her was found to be a strong water person.

Here, under the Five element concept, water strengthens wood. Therefore, based on the Five elements concept, this is considered a good relationship.

5. Nearly two years ago, when my sister in-law was nearing the date when she was giving birth, out of curosity, we analysed roughly the pillars of destiny for the month (expecting the child to be born).

However, the interesting thing was that her birth was a natural birth. Although one would like the child to be born on a certain day and month... it did not seem that way. Of course, one can go for on operation ... and specify a date/time of birth.

6. What I therefore meant was that usually, the situation is that only after the birth of the child, then, a Geomancer is consulted on the birth element of the child.

The Geomancer than recommends a name especially if the child `lacks' an element e.g. fire or other elements.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
