According to Feng Shui horoscopes, every individual’s birth carries a destiny that reflects their personality and shapes their life. So, what element is 2008? What colors suit it? All Feng Shui-related questions about Earth Rat 2008 will be answered right below.
What Element is 2008?
Per the Five Elements of Feng Shui, those born in 2008 belong to the Fire Element, specifically Tích Lịch Hỏa (Thunderbolt Fire).
Thunderbolt Fire is the fire sparked by lightning, often appearing during stormy weather. It holds latent power, making it dangerous if not controlled or harnessed properly.
Since Thunderbolt Fire only manifests during rain and wind, it’s the sole Fire sub-element that harmonizes with Water (despite Water overcoming Fire). It also isn’t generated by Wood (though Wood generates Fire).
What Colors Suit Those Born in 2008?
According to BTA Feng Shui experts, those born in 2008 with the Fire Element are most compatible with colors of the Wood Element: Green, Moss Green, and Fire Element colors: Red, Orange, Pink, Purple. These colors boost confidence, strength, and energy for Earth Rat individuals.
Earth Rat 2008 individuals should avoid using colors of the Water Element: Black, Navy Blue, and similar shades. These colors can disrupt energy balance and bring obstacles.
