How to tell what is missing in the birth date
The horoscope is an important concept in traditional Chinese numerology. By analyzing the celestial stems and earthly branches of a person's birth year, month, day, and hour, the balance of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) can be inferred. If one of the five elements is missing, it may have an impact on fortune, health, personality, etc. The following is the birth horoscope analysis method that has been hotly discussed on the Internet in the past 10 days to help you quickly understand how to determine the lack of five elements.
1. What are birth dates?

The birth date consists of four pillars, each pillar contains a heavenly stem and an earthly branch, for a total of eight characters. The four pillars represent the year, month, day, and hour respectively, and each of the heavenly stems and earthly branches corresponds to specific attributes of the five elements. By analyzing the distribution of these five elements attributes, it can be determined whether a certain element is missing.
| Heavenly stem | Five elements attributes |
|---|---|
| A, B | wood |
| C, D | fire |
| E, Ji | soil |
| Geng, Xin | gold |
| Ren, Gui | water |
| Earthly Branches | Five elements attributes |
|---|---|
| Zi, Hai | water |
| Yin, Mao | wood |
| Si, noon | fire |
| Chen, Xu, Chou, Wei | soil |
| Shen, You | gold |
2. How to judge the deficiency of five elements?
1.List the heavenly stems and earthly branches of the horoscope: Find the corresponding heavenly stems and earthly branches according to the date, month, day and time of birth.
2.Statistics of Five Elements Distribution: List the attributes of the five elements corresponding to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and count the number of occurrences of each element.
3.Analyze missing situations: If a certain type of five elements does not appear at all in the eight characters, it is missing. For example, if there is no "gold" in the horoscope, it is called "lack of gold".
Here is a sample analysis:
| four pillars | Heavenly stems and earthly branches | Five elements attributes |
|---|---|---|
| year pillar | Jiazi | wood, water |
| moon pillar | Bingyin | fire, wood |
| sun pillar | Wuchen | soil, soil |
| hour column | Geng Wu | gold, fire |
As can be seen from the table, the distribution of the five elements is: wood (2 times), fire (2 times), earth (2 times), gold (1 time), and water (1 time). In this example, the five elements are complete and nothing is missing.
3. Effects and remedies of the deficiency of the Five Elements
If you find that the five elements are missing, you can remedy them in the following ways:
| Missing five elements | may affect | Remedy |
|---|---|---|
| Short of gold | Poor financial luck and lack of decisiveness | Wear metal jewelry, mostly white or gold |
| Missing wood | health problems, lack of energy | Get in touch with green plants more and wear wooden accessories |
| lack of water | Poor interpersonal relationships and high mood swings | Drink plenty of water and wear black or blue jewelry |
| Missing fire | Lack of enthusiasm and hindered career development | Wear more red clothes and use warm colors for decoration |

4. Precautions

2. The remedy needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation of the individual. It is recommended to consult a professional numerologist.
