In Chinese astrology, the system of Five Elements is used to describe both the energy calendar of the cosmos and that of the individual. Your core element is your operating system, how you interact with the world, your personality traits, and your health vulnerabilities.

Elementally, May 2023 is a favorable month for people with a dominant or core Element of Wood as Water nourishes Wood and Wood supports Fire; therefore, you’ll benefit from the support that will allow you to execute your vision with less resistance.

Finally, Water people may be negatively influenced by too much Water, which means caution and fear, and possibly becomes withdrawn.
