The Fames & Their Lucks
Ashton Kutcher
He (1978/2/7) was born on the Sword (metal) day, in the spring month of tiger (wood).
Imagine that Ashton is a sword, cutting many trees in the forest. This sword becomes dull and not sharp. To fix that, Ashton needs metal (#1 lucky element) to back it up and earth (#2 lucky element) to produce more metal to be stronger. Fire (#3 lucky element) is also necessary to refine his metal into a sharper sword. Water and wood are his enemies.
TV and film belongs to fire. Ashton has natural talent and luck getting into acting and filming. His most recognized role was Michael Kelso in the Fox (hot earth) sitcom That ’70s show. This sitcom was tailor-made for his earth and fire needs.
For a metal person like Ashton, wood represents his fortune. Well, there are two piece of wood found on his birthday chart. He was born to be wealthy.
Financial and investment belongs to metal. Ashton has natural luck to get into Venture Capital and achieve amazing performance. His recent action in launching a new Innovation Lab in Silicon Valley and setting up non-profit organization in LA to fight child sexual exploitation are parts of the great efforts. Child abuse is water and water is his enemy. Ashton has all the means to fight against it.
Demi Moore
She (1962/11/11) was born on the day of dew (water) in the winter month of pig (water) and in the year of tiger (wood).
Being a dew water person and born in water month, Demi is very cold in nature. We can think of her as an ice bar. To escape from the frozen zone, Demi needs the help of fire (#1 lucky element) and wood (#2 lucky element) to keep warm, feel alive and be successful.
Filming (fire) was her ideal career. The movie Ghost, the highest-grossing film of 1990, made a super Hollywood star out of her. As we have mentioned before, ghost is the spirit which has the strongest tight to dew water person (from the prior life) among other ten heavenly stems. This is obviously the case for Demi Moore. Instead of haunting her, the ghost actually came and offered great help to her.
Regarding Demi Moore’s personal relationship, we would take a look at Bruce Willis first. Bruce Willis was born in spring with great amount of wood element. Wood can produce fire, making Demi Moore warm, happy and lucky. In fact both fire and wood are essential to Demi Moore’s well-being. Coincidently, Ashton Kutcher was also born in spring with tons of wood element. Both Bruce and Ashton have been very successful actors in the filming (fire) industry. It has no doubt that Demi Moore had instance love over Bruce and Ashton, thanks to the fire and wood elements they possess.
Tiger Woods
He (1975/12/30) was born on the sword (metal) day in the winter month of rat (water) and in the year of rabbit (wood).
Born in the winter, Tiger is very cold in nature. He needs to have fire (#1 lucky element) to keep warm and reshape his metal sword to be sharper. He also needs wood (#2 lucky element) to dig out his sword from the earth and make his sword to be useful tool for a fine furniture.
Tiger was lucky enough at early age to pick up golf as his life time career. Imagine the picture of his golf game: Tiger is walking on the grass (wood) all day, swinging golf club (wood) and dressing the symbolic Nike red polo shirt (red is fire) and a cap (head is fire part of body), and staying under the sun (fire) to play his favorite game. In other words, golf is a game totally making up with wood and fire elements.
To make it even better, Tiger named himself “Tiger” and “Woods” perfectly. We all know tiger is the animal king of wood. His last name “Woods” is even in plural forms. This sounds insanely perfect for a man who lucky element is wood. No wonder why Tiger could pull off so many wonders in his game, with this perfect name.
However, no one can be lucky all his life. There will be bummers along the way. This certainly applies to Tiger. The enemy of wood is metal in the destructive cycle theory. Tiger has to face the brutal punch of metal. 2005 (metal) was a tough year for Tiger since his beloved and influential father passed away. 2010 (metal) was a disaster year for Tiger because his infidelity history was exposed to the world. This led to the loss of marriage, the loss of huge commercial deals, the loss of his golf game and the loss of his credibility. In 2011(metal), his ranking dropped to the bottom #58. Without worrying, however, Tiger Woods will come back winning as long as the wood and fire are on the way.

Arnold Schwarzenegger
(1947/7/30) was born on the sword metal day in the late summer month of sheep (hot earth) in the year of pig (water).
Being a metal person, Arnold has a strong sense of justice. That is why he is a perfect guy to play the role of a cop. Born in the month of hot earth, Arnold has burning heart (fire element in earth) to pursue his dreams. Being produced by the earth, Arnold’s metal element grew stronger. However, it was still buried under the ground (earth). Therefore, Arnold has been working so hard, trying to break though from the ground. Arnold needs the help of wood (#1 lucky element) to stab into the earth and show up his rifle (metal). Then, he can aim and open fire (#2 lucky element) to show off his power to the world. In fact, Arnold has been chasing wood and fire all his life.
Remember each direction is associated with one element. Let’s review: east is wood, south is fire, west is metal and north is water. Born in Austria (the western nation, putting Chinese map as the center), Arnold often dreamed of moving to America (the east side of China) at early age. East (wood) was his dreaming direction and he was exactly right. As a teenager, Arnold has been obsessive with weight lifting and this strong desire winning him Mr. Olympia contest 7 times in a row. Weight lifting is a water and metal element because any sport has to do with some kind of movement, just like water. And grabbling the iron bar certainly exposes himself to a lot of metal element. While the water element certainly did Arnold good because it wash away the dirt (earth) on his body, the metal element would be harmful to him. Arnold was simply overloaded with metal.
Michael Phelps
(1985/6/30) was born on the sword metal day in the hot summer month of horse (fire) and in the year of ox (wet earth).
Imagine Michael Phelps is one of his many Olympic gold medals grilling on top of the fire burner. The metal would melt away. To escape from the heat, Michael is desperately searching for a cool place. A swimming pool would work. God treated him well. Michael grew up in the family which loves swimming. As water is his #1 lucky element without doubt, Michael Phelps showed extraordinary talent, strongest endurance and greatest luck in this sport.
In fact, even without Phelps’ awareness, everything went to his favor. 2008 Olympics game was held in Beijing (north part of China). North is water. Bravo, he won 8 gold medals. 2012 Olympics game was hosted in London (the western city from China). West is metal (#2 lucky element). Phelps won 4 gold and 2 silver medals. To make it even better, 2012 was the year of dragon, which is a water creature in Chinese folk stories.
Being a metal person, Phelps is a very calm, stable and cool looking. Born in the hot summer month, Phelps has a burning heart to chase his dream. Born in the year of ox, Phelps is an extremely hard working and creative person. Nothing come easy without great amount of efforts but hard working alone won’t reach this level of glory. We have to add luck. In Michael Phelps’ case, luck is water.
David Beckham
(1975/5/2) was born on the rock (hot earth) day in the late spring month of dragon (wet earth) and in the year of rabbit (wood).
Imagine David Beckham is a hard rock seating on top of the wet earth. This heavy muddy circumstance strengthens his body, making him very tough on the field. This extremely muddy situation is in urgent need of Feng Shui’s remedies. First, Beckham needs water (#1 lucky element) to wash off his loaded mud. Then, he needs wood (#2 lucky element) to stab into the earth, making it loose so that he can breathe.
Sport is water, flowing from here to there. Soccer (or football in Great Britain) is the sport that requires the frequent use of the foot (wood part of body). Bingo. Water and wood, the two lucky elements, come with the same sport. David Beckham virtually killed two birds with one stone. Thus soccer is meant to be his game. Beckham became the first English player to win league titles in 4 countries: English, Spain, United States and France.
Beckham’s fame extends beyond the pitch. Partially thanks to his good look and the spotlight of his famous wife, Beckham has virtually become one of the hottest spokesmen in the world, often signing multi-dollar deals with many top brands internationally. Spokesman is water. Fashion is wood. Fragrance is water. Magazine is wood. Commercial is water. God. Beckham’s opportunities are boundless. With the help of water and wood, Beckham became one of the highest earning sport stars, if not the top one.

Barack Obama
(1961/8/4) was born on the wet earth day in late summer month of sheep (hot earth) and in the year of ox (wet earth).
Obama was an earth person completely covered by earth. This extreme reading has led to a legend: the first US president who is black.
Born in the hot earth month, Obama has strong fire desire to achieve his dream and put forward his opinion. Born in the year of ox, Obama keeps a very busy working schedule. Being a wet earth person, Obama is gifted with very strong people management skills since all the elements (fire, water, metal, wood and earth) could be trapped inside the earth. The U.S. President is the job which is meant to be.
Born in late summer month of hot earth, Obama is relatively hot in temperature. He needs wet earth (#1 lucky element) and water (#2 lucky element) to cool down. Yes, wet earth even though Obama has plenty of it already. Being an extreme case like Obama, we would go with the flow and not against it.
2012 was the year of dragon (wet earth). Plus dragon is always considered a water creature in ancient China folk stories. Instead of fire, the consensus image is that water is actually coming out from the mouth of a Chinse dragon. With the help of wet earth and water, Obama had all the luck to be elected as the President of the United States in 2012 for the second term. God blessed Obama.
Hilary Clinton
(1947/10/26) was born in the rock (hot earth) day in late fall month of dog (hot earth) in the year of pig (water).
Born as a rock (hot earth), Hilary Clinton is gifted with great management skills to handle so many people with different voices. Well, Obama is an earth person too but he is a wet earth. Wet earth is softer than hot earth and a little easier to be accepted by people.
Born in the hot earth day and hot earth month, Hilary is a naturally lucky person. This double hot earth effect makes Hilary so strong that she has the big potential to be a public figure or even a legend. Well she is already a public figure. Overwhelmed with hot earth, Hilary is a very persistent and even stubborn person. Once she has identified her goals, she can die for it. To enhance her luck, Hilary needs tree wood (#1 lucky element) to loosen up her earth and metal (#2 lucky element) to suck up the nurturing power from the earth.
Hilary earned a J.D. from Yale Law School in 1973. Both the attorney career and University are classified to be the wood category. This wood luck led to Hilary’s early success in college and the career of law. Her marriage to the president Bill Clinton was subject to ugly public discussion following the Lewinsky scandal of 1998. Unfortunately, 1998 happened to be the year of fire. Fire is not Hilary’s lucky element because fire can produce more earth (based on productive cycle) which she already had way too much. No doubt about it. Hilary has suffered tremendously in 1998.
Why would Hilary never think of divorcing Bill Clinton? Well, Bill Clinton was born in the fall month of metal. His strong metal power was able to suck up and reduce Hilary’s oversize earth element and make her lucky. Therefore, Hilary just cannot afford to lose Bill.
2015 is a year of wood earth (refer to the Chinese lunar calendar). With the help of wood, Hilary had the lucky to get nominated as the Democratic Party’s nomination to the 2016 presidential election. However, the earth part of 2015 won’t be as helpful. Earth is Hilary’s enemy. 2016 and 2017 are the years of fire and metal. Metal is good for Hilary but fire is not. Since fire can melt the gold and produce more earth, Hilary does not seem to have top luck to make history this time.
Bill Clinton
(1946/8/19) was born on the flower (wood) day in the month of monkey (metal) and in the year of dog (hot earth).
Born as a flower, Clinton is a very gentle, pleasant and attractive person. However, born in the metal month, Bill faced with the extreme cutting force of metal, making his flower weak and fragile. To defend his well-being, Bill Clinton has to resort to the help of tree wood (#1 lucky element) and dew water (#2 lucky element) to grow his flower.
Clinton was a gifted student. He earned the Rhodes scholarship to attend the University of Oxford and graduated from Yale Law School with a law degree. School and college belong to the wood element. It is not surprising that both Bill and Hilary were students with high-achievement. Wood (luck) is on their side.
Governmental job also belongs to the wood element. Both Bill and Hilary picked up the right career early on.
Bill was elected to be the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. 42 is the number of wood element.
1992 and 1993 both were the year of wood. With this strong wood force to withstand the metal, Bill Clinton’s flower turned into an ivy, climbing the tallest tree in the forest, reaching to the top and enjoying the best view up there. He became the 42th President of the United States in 1993. 2001 was the year of rooster (metal), which is Bill’s bad luck element. Bill Clinton stepped down from the presidency in 2001.

John Kennedy
(1917/5/29) was born on the gold bracelet (metal) day in the hot summer month of snake (fire) and in the year of snake (fire).
Kennedy’s life was full of legends but did not lead to a happy ending. Born in both the fire month and year, Kennedy suffered extremely in the ultimate heat environment. His gold bracelet was virtually melting. To conquer his ill fate, John was disparately in need of having wet earth (#1 lucky element) to cool down and metal (#2 lucky element) to get stronger. Fire was definitely his bad luck element.
Born both in the month and year of snake, Kennedy was an extreme intelligent person. He really worked his way fast and became the youngest president of the United States. During the ages from 38th to 48th period, John received the greatest support from the wet earth element (a decade of wet earth and metal for him). This is the key reason why Kennedy was so blessed to become the 35th president of the United States. This number 35 is also the number of earth.
On 1963/11/22 (which was a fire day), John Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas at noon time (fire time of the day). Please be mindful that south belongs to the fire element. Dallas is the southern city of the United States. Texas is a hot state and did not seem to be helpful either. In the hot place, on the hot day and at the hot time, John F. Kennedy got a gunshot (fire) on his head (fire part of human’s body). Under these multiple and extreme fire alignments of the universe, JFK was virtually assassinated by the fire element.
Rihanna
(1988/2/20) was born on the flower (wood) day in the spring month of tiger (wood) and in the year of dragon (wet earth).
Rihanna is a beautiful flower born in the perfect blossom season of spring. To make it even better, the year of wet earth provides the flower water and nutrition for her flower to flourish. Rihanna is known for frequently reinvesting her style and image. It is just her instinct to show off her best as a gorgeous spring flower. Indeed, Rihanna is a truly blessed flower on earth. Achieving the sale record of over 41 million albums and 150 million songs worldwide, Rihanna is one of the best-selling artists of all time. Time Magazine named Rihanna one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2012.
Born in the spring forest, Rihanna needs water (#1 lucky element) to grow her flower and the sun fire (#2 lucky element) to make her flower healthy and pretty. The sun fire can also burn down some of the trees in the forest and let the flower appear.
Singing is a water element which indeed has served Rihanna well. Her debut album, “Music of the Sun“(music is water and sun is fire) peaked in the top ten on the U.S. billboard 200. In 2012, Rihanna appeared in her first theatrical feature film, Battleship. Filming is a fire and ship is on the water. Both are her lucky elements. “Battleship” was another perfect name tailored for her needs. Rihanna will continue to do well as long as her water and fire keep showing up, just like the battleship kept firing on the water.
Taylor Swift
(1989/12/13) was born on the candle light (fire) day in the winter month of rat (water) and in the year of snake (fire).
Taylor Swift is a candle light born in a cold winter. To make the candle light brighter, Swift needs fire (#1 lucky element) to back it up and wood (#2 lucky element) to keep it warm and fuel the fire.
The release of Swift’s self-titled debut album in 2006 established her as a country music star. Self-titled album served her well because it doubled up her candle light (fire) and made it stronger. The reason she picked up country music, not other types, because country belongs to the wood element. Country music is a perfect choice for her. In 2012, her fourth albums “Red” was sold more than one million copies within the first week of their U.S. release. Fire is red. Thus red is her lucky color. Taylor Swift caught fire on this album, making her one of the hottest singers alive. Another great song “Bad Blood” reached number one on the Billboard hot 100. Blood is fire because it is red in color. In addition, Taylor Swift has a pair of very attractive eyes (fire and wood part of the body) and beautiful curry hair (wood). As long as Taylor loves to put on red lipstick color, her candle light will continue to burn brightly.

Justin Bieber
(1994/3/1) was born on the sun (fire) day in the spring month of tiger (wood) and in the year of dog (hot earth).
Fueled by the spring woods, Bieber’s sun is burning furiously. The hot earth does not help either because it will add up the heat in an already burning situation. He definitely is in an urgent need of find a cold place to cool down right away. Metal (#1 lucky element) is needed to cut the down the wood and produce the water (#2 lucky element) to cool him down.
Bieber showed an early talent in singing (water element). This lucky elements made him stood out from the crowd of YouTube . Canada is in the north (water) of the United States. On the other hand, United States is in the south (fire) of Canada, which is Bieber’s home country. As he prefer water over fire, Bieber has an instant love and luck toward water and north. Not surprisingly, Bieber has stated that he is not interested in obtaining US citizenship and has praised Canada as being the best country in the world. Bieber was discovered through his YouTube Video in 2007 (metal year of rooster). In November of 2009 (water year of pig), Bieber released his debut EP, My World, certified platinum in the United States. Bieber has been ranked top ten most powerful celebrities in the world three years in a row.
Became famous at such young age, Bieber has been assigned a personal coach to handle his fame and public image. However, if Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, knows the fact that all of Justin’s troubles come from the fire and wood related issues, he will have a much easier time to deal with Bieber. In 2014 (the big wood and fire year), Bieber had his first arrest and several run-ins with the law around the world. He was accused of reckless driving (car is fire), driving with an over six month expired license. Bieber told the police authorities (fire) that he has consumed alcohol, smoked marijuana, and taken prescription drugs (all drug and smoking behavior is fire). Sarcastically enough, Bieber even dressed in red (fire) in his jail picture.
Being a sun person, Bieber is full of energy and passion in life. Being a dog person, Bieber has charm to be attractive to its audience, especially to teenagers. As the wood keeps fueling his sun, Bieber becomes too strong to control himself. To make himself weaker and literally inject water (ink) to his body, Bieber had “tattoo” (metal and water) on his body.
Princess Diana
(1961/7/1) was born on the flower (wood) day in the summer month of horse (fire) and in the year of ox (wet earth).
Born in the hot summer and nurtured with wet earth, Diana was one of the most beautiful flowers on earth, grabbing the world’s full attention. This attention turned out to be just too much to handle. Diana was too hot and she needs water (#1 lucky element) to cool down. It explained well why Diana was so font of swimming (water) and always went to the beachside (water) for relaxation and healing. Moreover, Princess Diana was most memorized by her smiling image with a pair of big blue (water) eyes, putting on a blue (water) dress and wearing a sapphire ring on her finger.
Since Diana was way too hot, it goes without saying that fire is her #1 bad luck element and hot earth stood for her #2 bad luck element. Everyone knows that Diana had a Cinderella story, blessed by the world. Diana fell in love and married to Prince Charles because Charles is a completely water person (born on the day of water, month of water and year of water. Refer to Prince Charles’ case for details). However, when Prince Charles hooked up with Camilla (a completely fire person), his water level had reduced and Princess Diana could not tolerate him anymore. Princess Diana started to look for other sources of water and very soon found the lover of her own.
When Diana turned 37, the big fire decades has come to her, drying up her water sources and putting her luck in jeopardy. In Paris (south of England and south is fire), the car (fire element) that Diana was traveling in crashed, being chased by cars of paparazzi (car is fire; paparazzi are dog packs and dog is hot earth) in the hot summer time (fire). All of these big fire and hot earth were too much for Princess Diana to handle. She virtually was burned to death.
Prince Charles
(1948/11/14) was born on the dew water day in the winter month of pig (water) and in the year of rat (water).
Charles was a water person completely covered by water. This extreme reading has led to a fairy tale: born as a Prince.
Basically, Charles is a drop of water inside a big ocean. Purely dominated by water element, Prince Charles was born so cold, so calm and so emotionless. He is always peaceful like an ocean beyond imagination. It is not difficult to confirm that all he needs is fire (#1 lucky element) to keep warm, keep excited and keep his passion alive, if any.
In reality, Princess Diana was his perfect match to begin with. As a beautiful flower born in the hot summer season, Princess Diana had all the fire that Prince Charles was looking for. Instead of repeating the same story, please refer to the case of Princess Diana for details.

Ronaldo are naturally born lucky person because he is a flower born in the spring time, not in the fall or winter. This perfect season matching makes him stand out to a noble start. Secondary, Ronald has picked the perfect career – playing soccer. Soccer is a sport that belongs to water element. Running all over the field is just like a tide or wave washing back and forth in the ocean. Exposing under sun in the field makes Ronald a healthy flower. The year of Ox is wet earth that feeds his flower nicely. Lastly, Ronaldo has suffered some injuries unavoidably as a professional soccer player. Surgery is metal because knife is metal which is necessary to perform operation. Surgery will definitely make him weaker as a flower.
Michael Jordan
(1963/2/17) was born in the gold bracelet day in the spring month of tiger (wood) and in the year of rabbit (wood).
Imagine that Michael Jordan is a piece of precious gold bracelet trapped deep inside a huge forest. We really have difficulty to locate this gold bracelet. To solve this problem, Michael needs to make the gold bracelet shining, bigger and stronger so that we can find it easier. In other words, Michael Jordan needs wet earth (#1 lucky element) to produce more metal and water (#2 lucky element) to clean up, making it shining. Water makes Michael handsome as well.
Being one of the most shining sport star and American icon, Michael Jordan must have all the talent and luck to put things together. Michael was mostly celebrated by his jump shot, wearing his legendary #23 red or white Chicago Bull outfit. Yes, Bull is ox which is wet earth, producing abundance of gold to make him stronger. Second, sport belongs to the water element because the player is required to move quickly in the court, just like the movement of water. Basketball is a sport (water).
For a metal person, the wealth star is wood element. To be more specific, for a gold bracelet person like Michael Jordan, the wealth star is tiger (wood). Michael was born with huge money luck. Nike’s Air Jordan sneakers (wood) was one of the most successful products and brands in the sport shoe history.
Brad Pitt
(1963/12/18) was born on the flower (wood) day in the winter month of rat (water) and in the year of rabbit (wood).

Yes, he chose the best career – filming (fire). Brad Pitt’s first leading roles in big-budget productions came with dramas named A River Runs Through it. This is a very interesting name for a movie when applying to Brad Pitt’s situation. This river (water) actually ran through Brad Pitt and did not stay behind. Water is a bad luck element for Pitt as he already has abundance. It is better for the river to run away as quickly as possible from Pitt.
Besides his filming career, Brad Pitt’s personal life also attracts the media spotlights. Angelina Jolie was born in the hot summer month of June. Jennifer Aniston was a candle light person born in the spring month of wood. Both Angelina and Jennifer are hot enough to provide Brad Pitt with all the fire he so desires.

Tom Cruise

Image that the wood keeps fueling the fire, drying up Tom Cruise’s tiny dew water drop completely. This is one of the extreme Feng Shui case of “giving up your life to go with the flow”. It simple means that no way can Tom Cruise survive the burning heat. He has to give up his life as dew water and go with the flow. Ironically, fire is his #1 lucky element.
Filming is fire. All of his blockbuster movies, the Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards have proven Tom’s ultimate celebrity status in the filming industry. Tom actually became a full-fledged movie star after starring as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in the action drama Top Gun (fire). His role as secret agent in the Mission Impossible film series served him very well on the box office success. The more gun fires, explosion and car chasing (car is fire) scenes occurring in the movies, the better luck would be created for Tom Cruise. No wonder Tom has been firing up in majority of his films.
Cruise has three marriages and ended up all in divorce cases. One of the most recognized marriage was with Nicole Kidman, who was born in the hot summer month and coming from the Australia, the south (fire) part of the globe. All the fire element coming from Kidman made Cruise extremely happy and lucky. Not surprisingly, their marriage could last for 11 years, the longest one.

No wonder the more movies he makes, the more money and women he can receive.
Lady Gaga
(1986/3/28) was born on the river day in the spring month of rabbit (wood) and in the year of tiger (wood).
Since there are plenty of woods to absorb and dry up the water from her river, Lady Gaga is in urgent need to refill her river with water (#1 lucky element). Metal (#2 lucky element) is definitely needed to cut off the woods and produce more water. Finally, Lady Gaga needs to have hot earth (#3 lucky element) to fence her water in. Wood is in no doubt her enemy.
Being a singer serves Lady Gaga very well because singing career belongs to both water and metal element. Gaga rose to prominence with her debut album The Fame, with the popular hits like Poker Face and Paparazzi. This album cover was smartly designed to have the cold black (water) and white (metal) color theme. Poker face is a white face associated with a cold or no feeling face (water), trying to mislead other players to guess it wrong. This song with both of her lucky elements to break thru. Paparazzi is dog (hot earth) which also helps.
Born in the year of tiger, Lady Gaga belongs to the most changeable group. It is very true in her case as her images are so ever-changing. Her heavy make-up and frequent changes in style matches with her tiger’s nature. Gaga is advised to dress more in blue (water), white (metal) and black (water) to enhance her luck. She should avoid red (fire) and green (wood) at all cost. River person is a very generous and capable person. She definitely earned a lot of helps from friends and fans. River lady has a higher chance of being a lesbian or bisexual person, and Lady Gaga admitted to that.

Michael Jackson
(1958/8/29) was born on the mud day in the fall month of monkey (metal) and in the year of dog (hot earth).
Being a Mud day master, Michael was very good at attracting people with all kind of elements because Mud can trap all five kind of elements (metal, wood, water, fire and earth) inside. Born in the year of dog (hot earth), Michael was as adorable as dog, appealing to fans of global base. Born in the metal month, Michael’s mud was leaking out steam but the hot earth comes to the rescue to make him stronger. To improve his situation, Michael needs to have water (#1 lucky element) to reduce the power of metal and fire (#2 lucky element) to melt down the metal and produce more earth to make him even stronger.
