Chinese Zodiac Element Associations

Depending on the element you are born in according to the Lunar Calendar, you may have more of an affinity in certain elemental magics according to some Chinese occult practices.

Earlier today I talked about the time of day you’re born in affecting what kind of magic you may find easier to use. This one is a little more broader as the elements in Chinese alchemy studies are 6 rather than 5 and the Spirit isn’t really one of them, unless you look at some of the Daoist views on chakras. The element you’re born in is based off of a 12 year cycle. The cycle starts with the year of the Rat and ends with the year of the Pig/Boar.

Most recent element cycles:

Current element: Metal -> 2020 until end of 2031

Earth -> 2008 to 2019

Fire -> 1996 to 2007

Wood -> 1984 to 1995

Water -> 1972 to 1983, water starts again in 2032

*When typing this I realized some may get confused as to why all over the internet it’s saying that this is the year of the Water Tiger. But the elements have a set order, and according to quite a few Chinese sites we are still in metal. If anyone knows why it’s so many are saying water and not metal please let me know. My Chinese is still pretty shotty as it has mixed in with the African language I was raised with so my words may be different. Thank you 🙏

One way of recognizing air in the current system is by whether or not you were born on the night before the lunar new year. This day is different each year but is usually the February New Moon of each year. Which makes these individuals now quite rare.

Associated with memory, teaching and continuing things, next generation, dispersal, spreading information

This actually did happen and there is an epilogue to it but it might be a second post ( if I do it).I know , I know , I know. These are not single images telling a full story with mood, but I love doing sequential art. I don’t usually have time for it so I just figured I’d make time for some . It’s maybe not the best story in the world but it makes me smile to relive it.

Y’all this is serious! My friend’s 13 year old daughter is missing. (8/3/2016)

She was last seen yesterday wearing a grey t-shirt and a purple skirt in  Bridgeport, Connecticut . She is 5'4", slender built, with her hair twisted up into a ponytail. Her name is Ariana.

If you see her contact the police immediately. 

Please keep your eyes open and pray that she is found safe and returned to her family.
