The attributes of the five elements can be calculated based on the year, month, day and time of birth.
According to traditional Chinese numerology, everyone has his or her own horoscope. This horoscope represents a person's birth date and consists of four parts: year, month, day, and hour. By calculating the horoscope, you can know your own five elements attributes. The Bazi consists of four parts: Year Stem Branch, Month Stem Branch, Daily Stem Branch, and Hour Stem Branch. Each part has an attribute of the Five Elements.
The year stem and branch represent ancestors and elders, the month stem and branch represent parents and brothers, the day stem and branch represent oneself and one's spouse, and the hour stem and branch represent children and younger generations. By querying the five-element attributes in the horoscope, you can know the status of your own five-element attributes. For example, if a person's horoscope is Dingsi, Dingwei, Guichou, or Renxu, then his five elements attributes are fire, earth, water, earth, metal, wood, and water.
Other methods
Nayin Five Elements is an algorithm in ancient Chinese numerology, which calculates a person's Five Elements attributes based on the combination of heavenly stems and earthly branches. The five elements of Nayin include sixty combinations such as Jiazi, Yichou, Bingyin, and Dingmao. Each combination has a corresponding five-element attribute. By querying the Nayin Five Elements table, you can know which Five Elements attribute you belong to.
For example, if a person is born in the year of Jiazi, then his five elements are water; if a person is born in the year of Yichou, then his five elements are gold. Among the horoscopes, the Sun Lord is the most important part, representing the root and essence of a person. By querying the Five Elements attributes of the Sun Lord, you can know which Five Elements attribute you belong to (the above content is for reference only).
