Your Self and Your Health: Yin Metal (Xin) People




Our bodies are the most interesting – and sometimes complicated – mechanisms in the world. Both fragile and strong. Easily broken and a system that is capable of mending itself. They sustain our lives and house the Self within the flesh and muscle. 

Learning more about our health is imperative to Chinese Astrology Ba Zi, which teaches us that the Ten Selves each have a meridian organ that can show signs of physical, energetic and emotions imbalances that we can address with improving our lifestyle.


In this post, we focus on the Xin Self.

The Lungs are the ruling meridian of this Self.

The lungs control the skin and the blood, a vital part of the body’s overall vitality and immunity. They are located in the seat of Po (this needs to be explained) a corporal soul that regulates self-preservation and self-protection. Due to the Lung’s natural function of dispersing moisture to the skin, this meridian is responsible for the maintenance of healthy, glowing skin.

When the Lung meridian is balanced, makes the individual righteous, giving a sense of integrity, dignity, and self-esteem. When the Lung energy is reliable, breathing is healthy, and the body is thrumming with energy. In contrast, when there is an imbalance in the Lungs, there are feelings of sorrow, grief, anxiety, shame, and despair.

Energetic disruptions in the Lung meridian can also involve depression, grief, unworthiness, desperation, foggy thoughts and the inability to take in surroundings. When the Lung Qi (energy) the other vital organs slowly drain of energy, causing shortness of breath, a raspy voice and encompassing fatigue.


Health advice for Xin individuals:

•    Work out, e.g., walking, running or cycling

•    Take Cordyceps to improve immune system

•    Sing (Yes, even if you’re tone deaf!)

•    Learn to respect yourself and others

•    Increase intake of beans, white meat, and tofu

•    Consume white food such as cauliflower, radish, and white mushrooms

•    If phlegm is an issue; use goat or sheep products

The Ten Selves – Xin (Metal) People

What does your Self reveal about you?   Your Self matters – it determines who You are!  To read a destiny, you have to know the self.  The Metal Elements (Geng) and (Xin) can be separated into ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ categories.  Xin is the ‘softer,’ but not necessarily ‘gentler’ Metal Element Self. Most Xin individuals are known for their excellent communication skills and insatiable curiosity.  These charming and talkative people always have something to say – they prefer to be both ‘seen’ and ‘heard’ at the same time! Especially if they are right.  Xin is a polished metal and Xin people want to get noticed. The external world is where they shine and thrive, where they are always in reach of knowledge and updated on current events – often by using their wit and humor to get the information they need. Due to these qualities, Xin people can quickly adapt to situations to suit their personal interests.  Color:  Soft Grey Organ/Meridian

CHINESE ASTROLOGY 2019: FIND THE LUCK OF YOUR SIGN (2) Unstable luck and changes When certain year brings a stable energy to the Chinese sign of your birthday, this is when everything will develop steadily in your life, without greater oscillations. However, there are some other years (the Chinese astrology can clearly point out to these years), when your luck is not going to be very stable and when your patience or faith in yourself might be challenged by numerous changes... Once you know that changes are on their way to you, you can wait for them to shake you, or you can opt for a more proactive way of handling them.
