You’ve probably heard of people changing their names to improve their luck. Chinese astrologers and geomancers make a lot of money helping their clients change their names. Usually this is only for people with Chinese names. Today, I am going to reveal to you the relationship between the 5 elements and the 26 alphabets. Even if you don’t have a Chinese name, you can still use this ancient art to create more good luck for yourself.

Once you know what element each of the alphabets represents, and its auspicious element, you don’t need to spend money consulting geomancers to change your name. You can do it easily at the end of this article. The first thing you need to know is which element each of the alphabets represents…

The letters A,B,K,L,U,V stand for wood.

The letters C,D,M,N,W,X stand for Fire.

The letters E,F,O,P,Y,Z represent the Earth.

The letters G,H,Q,R stand for Metal.

The letters I,J,S,T represent water.

After knowing the elements that each letter represents, you need to know which element favors you. Now, I understand that the hardest part of Chinese astrology is determining your favorable element. You need many years of experience to get it right. I know what you have in mind. Don’t worry, I’ll show you an easy method to determine your favorable element. The only drawback is that the accuracy rate is only 88%.

To determine your favorable element, you simply need to know what season you were born in. I list them…

If you are born between February 4 and May 5, your favorable element is Metal and you should avoid Wood.

If you are born between May 6 and August 7, your favorable element is Water and you should avoid Fire.

If you are born between August 8 and November 7, your favorable element is Wood and you should avoid Metal.

If you are born between November 8 and February 3 of the following year, your favorable element is Fire and you should avoid Water.

If you are born during the 4 terrestrial months, which are: from April 5 to May 5, from July 7 to August 7, from October 8 to November 7 and from January 6 to February 4, you should avoid the Land.

Once you have all this information in your hands, you can easily determine if your name is bringing you good or bad luck. Let’s see an example below.

Anna is born on December 7, which is winter. Her favorable element is Fire. There are 2 A’s and 2 N’s in her name. The 2 A’s represent Wood while the 2 N’s represent Fire. Wood strengthens fire, which is Anna’s favorable element. From here, we can conclude that Anna’s name brings her good luck.

One more example before finishing.

Mel is born on May 23, which is summer. His favorable element is Water. The M represents Fire, the E represents Earth, the L represents Wood. The only useful element is Earth, which helps weaken Fire. However, the Wood present strengthens the Fire. Therefore, Mel should change her name to include more letters that represent water.

Let’s see what happens if you use her full name, which is Melissa.

I represents water, S also represents water. A represents Wood. We have here 3 alphabets of Water, which represents the favorable element of Mel. From here, we can conclude that it is better to call her Melissa instead of Mel.

I hope this article has provided you with value. Have fun analyzing names!
