The Chinese Solar Year starts on Febuary the 4th so when working out your year chart for your house or even yourself check the date if you are born in Feb or Jan as it will effect the outcome. Many books will go by the Chinese Lunar Year (this is when you often see Chinese New Year Celebrations) which can change every year. This often leads to the wrong outcome as it is the Solar year that is important and this stays the same. For example for many years I thought I was a Goat in Chinese Astrology as I was basing it on the Lunar Calendar, (being born on the 14th of Feb 1980 and the Lunar Year ending on the 15th of Feb that year) in fact I am a Monkey!
Rena (or most Feng Shui practitioners) can do a chart called the Four Pillars of Destiny for individuals based on your Birth Hour, Day, Month and Year. For example I may well think I am a Metal Monkey as I am born in 1980. However although I am born in the year of the Monkey it is the Day that I was born in that effects my element so I am actually a Fire element. Apparently in its most basic form the hour of your birth represents your children, the day yourself, the month your parents and the year your grandparents. So although I have Metal in my chart, I like it because it represents my grandparents but being a Wood, Fire Water person it is not good for me.
She didn't have the book to do the hour, but hopefully she will be kind enough to look mine up for me. Interestingly me and Chris had almost exactly the same outcome in terms of what is good and bad for us elementally. Chris however was a Tiger!
Perhaps I should start learning Monkey Style!!!
