The Five Element Diagram is a visual representation of how the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water) interact with each other in two key cycles: the Creation (Nurturing) Cycle and the Destruction (Controlling) Cycle.

Creation Cycle - "assist"

This cycle shows how each element supports and nurtures the next, forming a harmonious flow of energy.

Wood assist Fire: Wood feeds Fire (like burning wood in a fire).

Fire assist Earth: Fire produces ash, which returns to the Earth.

Earth assist Metal: Earth forms minerals, including metals.

Metal assist Water: Metal (minerals) enriches water as it dissolves into it.

Water assist Wood: Water nourishes plants and trees, allowing Wood to grow.

Destruction Cycle  - "conflict"

This cycle shows how each element controls or weakens another to maintain balance,

Wood controls Earth: Tree roots break up the soil.

Earth controls Water: Earth contains and absorbs Water (like a dam or ground).

Water controls Fire: Water extinguishes Fire.

Fire controls Metal: Fire melts Metal.

Metal controls Wood: Metal tools cut or shape Wood.

The Five Element Diagram is a tool for understanding balance and harmony in both nature and life. By analyzing the relationships between elements, you can apply this wisdom to areas such as health, feng shui, and personal growth, making adjustments to restore balance and enhance well-being.
