The Chinese five phases, 五行 (wǔ xíng), are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Most people call them the five elements, but phase is the closer word: each one is a stage of a single turning, a process that feeds the next and checks another. Walk them below, then turn the wheel that runs them.
↓ walk the phases
Module one · the walk
Move phase to phase. The whole page takes the colour of wherever you stand.
Module two · the engine
Every phase both feeds one neighbour and keeps another in check. Switch the cycle, then tap a phase to see what it does.
Module three · your element
Your animal carries one of the five phases. Choose it and hear what it says about you. No test, no guessing.
Where the wheel leads
The same five phases organise the sky, the body, and the space you live in. This hub is the spine the next rooms grow from.
Every Chinese zodiac animal carries a fixed phase, and each year adds one. Enter your birth year and find both.
Five full pages, one for each phase, covering the body, the room, the temperament, and the animals of each.
Your Wu Xing element opens a specific chakra. See which one, and what to do with it.
