Five sacred elements in Chinese astrology — metal, water, wood, fire, and earth help you decide what to watch next.
Hello peeps! You’re probably familiar with the animal signs that correspond to the year you were born, but did you know that there’s another facet of Chinese astrology that is also decided by your birth year? In addition to the 12-year cycle of zodiac animals, each year is also associated with one of the five sacred elements in Chinese astrology — metal, water, wood, fire, and earth.
Based on the Five Elements Theory, a philosophy that is used to describe the relationship and interdependence between all things, all of these elements are interconnected and equally important. Each element also carries its own strengths and weaknesses, and people that belong to certain element types are believed to have distinct personality traits.

Those born under the Earth element are natural problem solvers, as they keep their feet solidly on the ground and remain calm even in the most turbulent of situations. Patient and steadfastly responsible, you can always rely on them to get things done well, on time, and by the book.
Earth types, however, may lack spontaneity and a sense of adventure due to their sensible nature, so they are encouraged to dip their toes into or at the very least, get their adrenaline pumping vicariously through action-packed picks like RRR, Alice in Borderland, Money Heist: Korea — Joint Economic Area, and Warriors of Future.
