How Lucky Elements Work
In Chinese astrology, each zodiac animal has associated lucky and unlucky elements based on the Five Elements theory and the animal's inherent nature. These lucky elements are believed to enhance your fortune when you surround yourself with them.
Many Chinese people incorporate their lucky colors into clothing and home decor, choose lucky numbers for phone numbers and addresses, and orient their homes toward their lucky directions.
