Dear Ang Chye,

Traditionally, when a child was born, the parents or grandparent would consult a Geomancer to find a name for the child.

The first thing the Geomancer does is to look at the child's Ba Zhi (Pillars of Destiny).

For example, my grandfather was told that my elder brother lacked `water' element in his Ba Zhi. His name has one character `water' i.e. " Chwee " added to his name.

As for me, since I did not lack any elements, my name had a " Tiong " or " centre " (implying balance) in one of the characters.

For example, a fictitious name could be: Tan Leng Chwee (where: Tan is the surname, Leng Chwee is the last name). The " Chwee " was added to such a name.

This is the reason why, Geomancy.net has constantly used the Five elements across all reports and analysis as it is a uniform method and consistent practise.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
