Dear Rinpoche,
After reading through all 5 of the articles on elements I have found the element I am under.
And yes I have to agree that I tend to over commit sometimes, be a bit fickle minded sometimes but what I am more amazed is that it’s just mind blowing how an horoscope is able to predict how this animals under the horoscope is going to behave, the bad points as well as the good and so far I think it has never fail to falsely predict the wrong weaknesses and strengths of one’s horoscope.
Take the example of myself…. I admit I do tend too passive as well as quit things quite easily but also on the good side I am happy to be born under the Wood Element because there plenty of good points that are enough to cover up the bad points, it’s true I actually love to organized and practical and so forth.
To me though it does not really matter which element you are born in or which horoscope you are born under because to be even be born as an human for even once is already such a great blessing, in fact all horoscopes has it’s good and bad points and none of the elements and horoscope has only good points or only just bad points.
Once again Thank you so much Rinpoche for taking time out to blog about the 5 Elements.
Love

LOL, so true~ noticed my traits were somewhat alike, except for a few… maybe because influenced since young? :O
OMG these elements really can tell you a lot about a person, Or about yourself. By using the information I’m sure it can make our relationships with people and the world that much easier. As we understand people more and the is less to not misunderstand.
