My Best Friend Asked Me How to Choose Crystals Based on Her Birth Chart? Sharing My Little Story About Supplementing the Lack of Metal and Wood in My Five Elements for Better Luck

Recently, my best friend Xiaomei suddenly messaged me on Line, saying that her luck hasn’t been great lately—she’s stuck at work and her relationships feel off. After having her birth chart read, she found out that she lacks both metal and wood in her five elements. She asked me, "I heard that crystals can supplement the five elements, but how do you choose them?" This reminded me of my own similar experience a few years ago, so today I’d like to share my real story with my sisters, hoping to give you some inspiration.

My First Experience with Supplementing the Lack of Metal and Wood in My Five Elements

A few years ago, I also went to have my birth chart read on a friend’s recommendation because things weren’t going smoothly in my life. The master told me that I lack metal and wood in my five elements and suggested using feng shui arrangements to adjust. At first, I was skeptical, but I figured there was no harm in trying, so I started researching crystals.

I remember walking into a crystal shop for the first time and feeling completely overwhelmed—rose quartz, amethyst, obsidian... so many options. The shop assistant asked me what I needed them for, and I hesitantly said I wanted to supplement the lack of metal and wood in my five elements. She recommended clear quartz (associated with metal) and green phantom quartz (associated with wood). Clear quartz is transparent and pure, said to enhance logical thinking, while green phantom quartz has green inclusions, symbolizing growth and wealth. I bought a small bracelet of each, thinking I’d try wearing them first.

Usage Process and Real Feelings

During the first week of wearing the bracelets, honestly, I didn’t feel anything special. But after about half a month, I started noticing small changes. At work, I became more focused when handling documents (perhaps due to the clear quartz?), and the careless mistakes I used to make decreased. In terms of relationships, I felt more willing to initiate communication (maybe green phantom quartz helps with social interactions?), and my interactions with colleagues became smoother.

However, I should mention a few minor drawbacks: crystals need regular cleansing, and sometimes I forget when I’m busy, which makes their energy feel weaker. Also, the beads on the green phantom quartz bracelet are a bit large, and my wrist occasionally feels uncomfortable after wearing it for a long time. I’d recommend choosing a finer style.

Specific Usage Suggestions

If you also want to try using birth chart crystals to supplement the lack of metal or wood in your five elements, here are my suggestions:
1. Confirm Your Five Elements First: It’s best to consult a professional master to read your birth chart instead of guessing on your own, as everyone’s situation is different.
2. Choose Suitable Crystals: For a lack of metal, you can choose clear quartz or rutilated quartz; for a lack of wood, you can choose green phantom quartz or malachite. Personally, I prefer using them in combination, like wearing both clear quartz and green phantom quartz together.
3. Placement: Besides wearing them, you can also place them at home or in the office. For example, place clear quartz on your desk to enhance career luck, and green phantom quartz in the living room to promote family harmony.
4. Regular Cleansing: Cleanse the crystals once a month with running water or moonlight to maintain their energy.

Conclusion

For me, feng shui arrangements are more like a form of psychological suggestion and life adjustment. Through using birth chart crystals to supplement the lack of metal and wood in my five elements, I’ve learned to pay more attention to my energy state. Of course, this isn’t a cure-all, but as a supplementary tool, it adds a bit of ritual and positive thinking to my life. If you’re also looking for change, why not start by understanding your five elements? You might discover unexpected little surprises!
