Each mountain page in this knowledge base lists its element; when checking feng shui, Home Check uses the elements of the sector and of the item to explain why a position is good or needs adjusting.

Five elements五行
Explanation
On the compass, every mountain and trigram carries an element. In the standard elements of the 24 mountains: Ren, Zi, Gui and Hai are Water; Jia, Yi, Yin, Mao and Xun are Wood; Bing, Ding, Si and Wu are Fire; Geng, Xin, Shen, You and Qian are Metal; Chen, Xu, Chou, Wei, Gen and Kun are Earth.
A reading compares the element of a sector with the element of what is placed there — a stove is Fire, water is Water.
How Home Check uses it
Questions
Is a mountain's element always the same as its trigram's?
Mostly, but not always: the Yin mountain lies in the Gen trigram (Earth) yet Yin itself is Wood. So both are checked.
Is a controlling relationship always bad?
No. Control is a relationship, sometimes used to restrain an energy that is too strong. Good or bad depends on position, degree and the item.
