It is also helpful to look at the planetary placement in terms of the astrological elements (Fire, Earth, Air, and Water) in your Birth Chart.  Feng Shui Wood and Earth are equivalent to astrological Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn),  Feng Shui Fire is equivalent to astrological Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), Feng Shui Water is equivalent to astrological Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), and Feng Shui Metal is equivalent to astrological Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius).  The Yin planets are the Moon, Venus, and Neptune, and the Yang planets are the Sun, Mars, and Uranus.
