How do you find out your self-element? Google “ba-zi calculator”, and you can choose from any of the fantastic calculators that come up. Don’t just go in and use the calculator! I think the Authors and Feng Shui Masters are really kind to provide us with this calculator, so do surf around their website (but remember to please come back to me ok! 😆 ). I have learnt that it is always good to keep an open mind about things, because if you make a pre-conclusion even before you get started about anything, then it will be very hard for you to reap the full benefits intended. P.S.: I’m really talking about me. If I had brushed off this practice called Feng Shui as mere rubbish, then I might never have had the chance to do what I have done! 🤜
Simply by keying in your DOB (date of birth) and time of birth, the calculator will generate your ba-zi chart, which has 4 columns and 2 rows. Your self-element is the one listed in the top row in the second column from the left:
| Hour | Day | Month | Year |
| SELF-ELEMENT | |||
|
|
I strongly recommend (I insist!) that you go look for your birth certificate that has your time of birth printed on it. If you had lost your birth certificate, maybe you can call the hospital or Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA)… I don’t really know, but you go find out! Or ask your mum what time you were born (even an estimated time of birth is better than “I am clueless”). I have tried to key in using only my DOB, but the ba-zi chart generated is very different from the one generated using my time of birth.
My self-element is strong metal. What does this mean? Google “strong metal character feng shui” and you will find a whole lot of information that describe my character. Google makes everything so easy! I love Google! 💓 Again, I advocate surfing the other pages of these websites that explain your self-element and your character, because you never know what treasures you will find! 💍💎🎁
So this thing about my character at birth. Gosh! I’m a miserable creature to hang out with! Strong metal people are stubborn, inflexible and uncompromising. If something good must be said, we are determined and loyal. I’m no fun, right? 😅 
我们‘门外汉’如何查我们的五行（天生）性格呢？当然问谷歌或百度！这两个收索平台什么都有，对吧！🥇🏆👍 搜索“八字分析计算机”或“生辰八字五行查询计算器”就可以找到很多很好的计算机。输入你何时，何日，何年生，再加上你生辰时间就ok! 通常你出生证明书会写上你出生时间，这我觉得很重要啦！如果出生证明书不见了，你应该可以到移民与关卡局再申请一张。如果真的拿不到，那你就问妈妈大概是几点。这比“我完全不懂”来的好！我有尝试不把生辰时间输入，但转出来的八字报告和有输入生辰时间来得不同。哎呀，终止，你尽量！👌
八字表有四列两行，你的五行（天生）性格是左边第二列第一行：
| 时 | 日 | 月 | 年 |
| 天生性格 | |||
我的天生性格是‘属金’，这什么意思？再查询，输入“属金五行性格”，你可以了解多些关于这题材。。。啊哈哈，难怪我没什么朋友啦！😅 ‘属金’的人性格倔强，野蛮，说话不留情，不听别人意见或劝告。唯有我们非常讲义气，做事很有决心。哎哟，怎么听起来那么无趣！😫
好啦，我只是开个小玩笑罢了！哈哈哈! 那么。。。 我知道我天生性格又怎么样？亲爱读者们，别K我 ✴，不过也没怎么样！ 咳咳咳！ 😆 真的，每天忙忙碌碌，只是近几年有时间小研究‘八字分析’！我只翻阅几本书，还没真的投入这八字研究。不过，这对你来说是好消息！！！你看，我没做所谓八字或五行分析，就可以有今天的成功，所以你也可以做到！💪 太好了！
