Your Personal Element is YANG METAL, which is represented by a SWORD, an ax, and, in a more general way, steel or any metal in its heaviest form. The toughness of metals is one of the main ingredients in the symbology regarding the Metal element in general and the Yang Metal in particular.

Since this is your element, it is thus natural to expect that resilience and the rare ability to resist to life’s most significant challenges and adversities to be emblems of your personality and your life story. 

The actual symbol of your Personal Element, the SWORD, suggests that your personality has a touch of inflexibility. Diplomacy might be found, if other factors suggest it, but it is probably not the greatest of priorities. 

For you, it’s vital to project a powerful image of yourself and never lose face! 

But let’s be clear, this exterior toughness does not mean that you are insensitive to life’s more human side, quite the contrary. Most Chinese masters would agree that your element is on the list of most loyal and trustworthy friends! 

Finally, another of your personality’s most remarkable abilities is your capacity to get things done. This really is your strongest suit, and you can spring into action without ever waiting for others to do something for you. This is all the easier for you since you do not usually mind too much if you might offend others or create enemies with your actions.  

Quite tellingly, some celebrities who share this Personal Element are: Jennifer Lopez, Adele, Charlie Sheen, Jim Morrison; Michael Phelps, Steffi Graf, Tiger Woods, Mohammed Ali, Elizabeth II, Margaret Thatcher, Arnold Schwarznegger, and Martin Luther King Jr.

NOTE 

Please note that your PERSONAL ELEMENT is not meant to explain your whole personality, since there are other components related to the moment of your birth that will influence you as well. The PERSONAL ELEMENT should therefore be seen as the basis, the raw material that will be shaped by a group of forcers, namely the PROFILES, which reflect the cosmic conditions of your birth.

THE PERFORMER is your Natural Profile. 

‘Limelight’ has to be the keyword for this Natural Profile.

Football player Lionel Messi and tycoon Richard Branson are expressive examples in which THE PERFORMER Profile can play a central role in a personality.

There are, however, other examples whose Natural Profile is also THE PERFORMER, although not Dominant. This means other forces can play an equally or even more important role in their lives. Such are the cases of Kim Kardashian, Helen Mirren, Tiger Woods, and Orson Welles, among many other famous people.

If this is your Natural Profile, you will, at the very least, have a particular personal magnetism or a charisma that easily makes you the center of attention.

Your ability to instantly “read” the minds and behaviors around you is greatly enhanced and can be a powerful asset in many situations in your life.

Last but least, THE PERFORMER can even give you the ability to shine and be applauded. These are the moments where you truly find yourself ‘in your element’.

THE PERFORMER is one of the Dominant Profiles of your personality.

There is a charisma that emanates from your personality. For you, it is important to feel that your presence and your actions change the environments around you and that people react to your company. The simple perception of this impact works as oxygen for your self-esteem. And your personality, probably cheerful and communicative, helps a lot.

To be someone that many people know and admire, to be “on the scene”, to be surrounded by applause, and to enjoy visibility is the potential of this Profile.

There is also a dose of competitiveness and self-demand that lead you to seek, at all costs, excellence. You feel that it is not enough to simply do things well and regularly fulfill what you are obliged to do. In fact, you feel you have to go well beyond that!

On the other hand, the people-oriented aspect of your personality is allied to a natural acumen for capturing the minds of the people around you. Be they just half a dozen or several thousand, you are good at getting to know what they feel and wish.

All of this can mean a beneficial marketing sense. That is, knowing how to present situations, products, and ideas in a way that touches people and leads them to certain types of decisions and actions. This can be useful for anyone working in advertising, but also in many other fields, including politics…

Finally, success is something you can’t do without, and to feel good about yourself, you need some element of glamor in your life.

Celebrities with THE PERFORMER Profile featured: Lionel Messi, Richard Branson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, Tiger Woods, Bill Clinton, Frank Sinatra, Jim Morrison, and Elvis Presley.

NOTE

If your Natural Profile is also THE PERFORMER, then these predispositions will be strongly accentuated. On the other hand, the beneficial side of your Profile only becomes more evident when you have among your other Profiles any of the following: THE FRIEND, THE LEADER, THE ANALYSER, or THE PHILOSOPHER.

THE MANAGER is a Dominant Profile of your personality.

There is a pragmatic and realistic, in other words, a “down to earth” side to your personality that helps you to make things “happen”. The projects and plans you are involved in often come to fruition and become a reality.

For that to happen, you have a great need to keep everything under control.

On the other hand, you believe that the execution, within the deadlines, of what is planned is far more relevant than absolute perfection.

Another typical feature of THE MANAGER is their firm determination. Otherwise, it would not be possible to achieve the goals. Obstacles and problems almost always arise when one goes from idea to practice. Therefore, it is necessary to know how to react to these unforeseen events. The philosophy is: if a problem arises, one must solve it straight away!

Consequently, it is not surprising that your presence is quite desired in teams, both in public departments and, most importantly, in the business sector.

This Profile of yours might have a natural affinity with money and material possessions, though not necessarily so. In part, this has to do with your goal-oriented attitude, which helps a lot and, sooner or later, will probably translate into financial success.

Finally, one needs to remember that money and goods often appear in people’s lives as a result of different and almost fortuitous circumstances and not necessarily as a result of personal effort. This can be related to the presence of THE MANAGER Profile.

Celebrities with this Profile include Kim Kardashian, Tiger Woods, Britney Spears, Richard Branson, and Jacqueline K. Onassis.

NOTE

If your Natural Profile is also THE MANAGER, then these predispositions will be strongly accentuated. But the beneficial side of your Profile only becomes more evident when there is, as your Natural Profile or among your Dominant Profiles, one of the following: THE FRIEND, THE ANALYSER, or THE PHILOSOPHER.

THE PHILOSOPHER is a Dominant Profile of your personality.

Despite the title of this Profile, it is not mandatory that you are an academic or an expert in Philosophy, although this can happen.

In fact, it must be closer to being a Sage or a Hermit who lives, in a way, isolated from the world, or else a person with very original ideas, out of the ordinary.

Typically, people influenced by this Profile are curious about practically everything, always looking for new knowledge and realities. In this way, they accumulate all the information they gather, trying to discover common patterns or unexpected connections in several areas of knowledge. That’s your power!

This Profile introduces a note of idealism or eccentricity to your person.

The crucial thing for your THE PHILOSOPHER Profile is the idea, concept, or vision and not so much the details (something “irrelevant”...) of its execution.

The human aspect is also important to you. It is no wonder that criteria of a spiritual and humanitarian nature appear among your main concerns.

Of course, other factors such as your Personal Element, your Natural Profile, or another Dominant Profile can change these characteristics or channel them to a specific type of activity.

Some celebrities with this Profile more visible are: Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Bob Dylan, Steve Jobs, Jimi Hendrix, and Orson Welles.

A curious example is that of business magnate, investor and philanthropist Warren Buffett, who has been linked to the American Philosophical Society. THE PHILOSOPHER Profile is, at the same time, his Natural Profile and a Dominant Profile. Here’s an excellent example that original ideas can also be a path to success.

NOTE

These predispositions will be strongly accentuated if your Natural Profile is also THE PHILOSOPHER. But the beneficial side of your Profile tends to become more evident when there is, either as your Natural Profile or among your Dominant Profiles, any of the following: THE EXPERT, THE PERFORMER, THE OFFICER, or THE WARRIOR.
