How to Calculate Five Element Scores in the Birth Chart

The Five Element Scores Under The Animal Names

Rat - Yin Water 30
Cow - Yin Metal 3, Yin Earth 18, Yin Water 9
Tiger - Yang Earth 7, Yang Wood 16, Yang Fire 7
Rabbit - Yin Wood 30
Dragon - Yin Water 3, Yang Earth 18, Yin Wood 9
Snake - Yang Metal 7, Yang Fire 16, Yang Earth 7
Horse - Ying Earth 10, Ying Fire 20
Sheep - Yin Fire 9, Yin Earth 18, Yin Wood 3
Monkey - Yang Water 7, Yang Metal 16, Yang Earth 7
Chicken - Yin Metal 30
Dog - Yin Fire 3, Yang Earth 18, Yin Metal 9
Pig - Yang Wood 10, Yang Water 20

The scores are the days of an astrology month from the fortune telling calendar. 12 animal names are the same to astrology month names. So we can think the month of Rat contains 30 days of Water. The month of Cow contains 3 Metal days, 9 Water days and 18 Earth days. The total of scores here is 360, which represents 360 days a year (360 is circle, a small universe). But one year is not 360 days. That's why the Five Element scores are found slightly difference in Chinese ancient astrology books from different dynasties. The scores here are used by most of fortunetellers today.

Strong Weak Level In Four Seasons

Wood: Spring > Winter > Summer > in-between seasons > Fall
Fire: Summer > Spring > in-between seasons > Fall > Winter
Earth: in-between seasons > Summer > Fall > Winter > Spring
Metal: Fall > in-between seasons > Winter > Spring > Summer
Water: Winter > Fall > Spring > Summer > in-between seasons

In-between seasons are the 18 days in the end of each season. You can find 18 scores of Earth in the Cow, Dragon, Sheep and Dog months.
