Steps to create the 5 elements chart according to the following: Draw the element circles like drawing a body: SI – SJ – HT – PC – LR – SP – KI – LU – GB – ST – BL – LI 1 – 2 – 3 points of: LR, SP, KI and SI, SJ, LI 7 – 8 – 9 points of HT, PC and LU 9 – 10 – 11 LU 5,8 – LI 5,11 SI 5,8 – SJ 6,10 HT 3,4 – PC 3,5 and LR 8,4 – SP 9,5 – KI 10,7 BL 40,60,65,66,67 GB 38 and ST 41 then complete them: GB 41,43,44 – ST 43,44,45 and GB 34 – ST 36 Note that the Yuán points of the Yīn organs = its Earth, and of the Yáng organs clockwise next from its Wood element The Luò’s: see remarks above  for the Yīn organs “try” to go counter clockwise from the Metal element. And the Yáng organs clockwise from the Fire element. The Xī lies directly next to its Luò (exceptions: SP, BL, ST, SI and SJ!) HT 5,6 – PC 6,4 – LR 5,6 – KI 4,5 – LU 7,6 – SP 4,8(exception!) SI 7 (SI7 goes to HT7!!),6 – SJ 5(!),7 – BL 58,63(exception!) LI 6,7 – GB 37,36 – ST 40,34 (note that GB and ST have similarities, both have 34,36,40,41,43,44)
