THE METAL ELEMENT
METAL | WATER| WOOD | FIRE | EARTHPeople born in the years controlled by the Metal element will be as rigid and resolute in expression as their particular signs will permit. They are guided by strong feelings and will pursue their objectives with intensity and little hesitation. Sustained by their ambitions, they are capable of prolonged effort to get what they want. They are very sources-oriented and unwavering in their determination.
These persons are not easily swayed or influenced to change course one they have decided on it, even by hardships, drawbacks and initial failures. Whatever constancy and perseverance their native lunar signs contain will be greatly enhanced by the Metal element. But they do have trouble letting go when situations are no longer feasible and can be unreasonably stubborn and unadaptable in their fixity of mind.
They prefer to sort out and solve their problems alone and will not appreciate interference or unsolicited assistance. They map out their own destinies, clear their own paths and visualize their own goals without outside help.
Although they may look inflexible and coldly self-reliant, persons ruled by Metal can conduct electricity; their strong impulses and generative powers will be felt by all they come in contact with, thereby brining about the changes and transformations they desire.
They have strong monetary and accumulative instincts and will use these traits to support their to support their independent spirits and their strong tastes for luxury, opulence and power.
To be totally effective, however, they must learn to compromise and not to be overly insistent on always having their own way. Often, they are unbending and opinionated and will break off a good relationship because others do not heed their wishes or conform readily to their will.
