Wu Xing as a Question Framework
Wu Xing can frame a question through wood, fire, earth, metal, and water: growth, brightness, stability, contraction, and flow. This guide treats the five phases as an observation system rather than a deterministic fortune-telling method.

How to Ask Five-Phase Questions
A practical reading can ask which phase is rising, which phase is excessive, which phase is missing, and what relationship needs balance. The answer should point toward reflection, journaling, or a next responsible action.

Why the Cycle Matters
The generating and controlling cycles help readers compare relationships between phases. They are useful for thinking about momentum and restraint, but they should not be used to guarantee outcomes in health, money, law, or safety decisions.
