Gold: A Double-Edged Adornment
Gold is undeniably a precious adornment and a symbol of wealth. However, not everyone can pull off wearing gold, and it’s not always advisable to do so.
When Gold Becomes a Taboo
In the realm of Feng Shui and the five elements, gold, being a precious metal, belongs to the element of Metal, or ‘Kim’ in Vietnamese. According to the law of mutual generation and control in the five elements, Metal controls Wood and Fire. Therefore, individuals with Wood and Fire elements in their birth charts should refrain from wearing gold jewelry.
From a color perspective, gold is associated with the Earth element due to its yellow hue. In the five elements, Earth controls Wood and Water. Thus, individuals with Wood and Water elements are advised against wearing gold.
Consequently, those with the Wood element are believed to be highly incompatible with gold jewelry. It is strongly recommended that individuals with this element avoid wearing gold altogether. On the other hand, those with the Water or Fire elements may introduce colors that are mutually generative to balance the equation.
According to the philosophy of the five elements, individuals with the Wood element who wear gold will not only fail to absorb positive energy from the metal but may also experience bad luck due to the conflicting energies.
A Health Hazard for Some
Gold is a unique metal known for its lustrous shine. However, for individuals with neurological conditions, excessive gold jewelry can trigger emotional sensitivity and epileptic seizures. Therefore, those with epilepsy must refrain from wearing gold. Similarly, individuals prone to stress and anxiety, especially those with vestibular disorders that cause dizziness, should avoid gold jewelry as it may exacerbate their symptoms.
When donning gold rings or bracelets, it is advisable to opt for smaller sizes to prevent obstruction of blood flow in the capillaries. Folk wisdom suggests that silver jewelry is a safer choice than gold in this regard.
An Invitation to Danger
Gold, being a high-value metal, makes one a target for theft and robbery. It is strongly advised against allowing children to wear gold when going out, and the elderly should also refrain from wearing gold when venturing out alone, as it may pose a threat to their safety.
Individuals with medical conditions are also discouraged from wearing gold. When traveling or using public transportation, it is best to leave the gold jewelry at home to avoid attracting thieves and robbers.
