- The elements in feng shui are directly related to properties of the earth. Each of these properties has its own structure, specific components, and their own personalities. Just like us, some of these elements work very well together, and sometimes not!
- In feng shui, the metal element represents structure, integrity and discipline. Metal people are introverts, and more methodical than the others. They like to work with numbers, finite issues and can easily refer to the Policy and Procedures in their company. They are the best people to look after the company records, shipping documents, legal and accounting issues. Some are entrusted to an IT position or emergency services; also positions that require disciplines. Often employed in a sector involving precision and accountability, these people are extremely trustworthy. Metal people are famous for being brilliant, organized and meticulous.
- You can find them in areas of power and influence, or they could be tradespeople, working with their hands and motivated by achieving tangible results.
- Common Metal-dominant Professions:
- Bankers
- Lawyers
- Insurance brokers
- Law and Safety enforcement
- Scheduler or Programmer
- Architecture
- Drafting
- Engineering
- Tool maker
- Mechanic
- Doctors and Surgeons
- Engineers
- You can often recognize a metal person by the way they present themselves. You will find them neatly put together, tucked in, wearing plain black, brown or grey colours. They will have their home and office sparsely furnished and everything neatly lined up. Their no-nonsense approach reflects on their career choice which will be focused on precision and liability.
- While many of us prefer to look for entertainment, or perhaps the lighter side of things, the metal people are destined to observe and report inaccuracies of things that don't make sense. Traits such as discipline, accountability, accuracy, safety and integrity are all metal qualities. Used in extreme, these traits alone can produce an unemotional, hard-core, unrelenting, strict, dictator in a parent or a boss role. Used in combination with the other elements: the reckless abandon and wild ideas of the wood people, the stand-up-and-speak-out qualities of the fire people and the loving, nurturing qualities of the earth people,... metal energy people are definitely required to fill the balance in life.
- The earth has amazing properties; wood, fire, earth, metal and water. These properties all have a function. They interact uniquely with one another in order to provide a balance. Regardless of your own personal element, we all require qualities from the metal element to function in society. We all have 'metal moments' when we need to focus on a situation where there is no tolerance for error: balance the cheque book, assess the visa statement, deal with mortgages, insurances, and even rules of the road.
- The longer we live and the more of life's lessons we accomplish, the more balanced we will become. The properties of metal energy and their place in the cycle of life can help us to live full and balanced lives.
- Related to the Five Element theory's in feng shui; taking the Personal Element Profile Quiz (PEP) can give you insight to your dominant personality, how to deal with stressors and how to deal with people. Often, the way a person is dressed or even their actions at that moment can give you clues as to which element they are and how to approach that person. (ie: client, customer, spouse, child, neighbour, etc.) Check out the book, Practical Feng Shui for the Office to see how to work with all the elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water.
