2018: Fire Energy Dynamics & The 8 Elements

The spark of fire that will burn brightly and cheerfully through 2018 has been kindled.  How fast it burns and how wildly the flames blaze through your life, will depend on the energy dynamics that are created between your personal element and the Fire element. In this blog, you will learn about the potential effect fire energy will have on you during this very auspicious Fire year.

Although Fire has a different effect on each of The Five Elements, the one effect it will have on every one of The 8 Elements is intensifying life experiences. Like water, fire increases the energy of whatever is happening in your life and health, career and business, finance and wealth creation, and relationships with family and friends, children and lovers. Any negative news or circumstances, events or feelings will be amplified – and not in a good way! It’s up to you to keep a positive outlook and attitude about yourself and your life this year. In the same way, anything positive, favorable and fortunate will also be enhanced. Take full advantage of this amazingly good energy.

In The Five Elements Relationship Dynamics, there are three cycles of energy. In the productive cycle: wood fuels fire, fire produces earth, earth sources metal, metal creates water and water feeds wood. In the reductive cycle: wood drains water, water corrodes metal, metal depletes earth, earth smothers fire and fire burns wood. In the transformative cycle: wood pierces earth, earth dams water, water extinguishes fire, fire melts metal and metal chops wood. Because of these dynamics, each element has a Support, Peace, Power, Control and Comfort element.
