The Progression of Change
Each of these orders can be used to explain the progression of change in just about everything. When the modern western physicist talks about the unification of forces (electromagnetic force, strong force, weak force, gravity, etc.), that person is not conceiving these forces as spilling into or conquering one another; this physicist would consider it absurd to apply any of these forces to anything other than mechanical or atomic physics.

The five agents in Chinese astrology, however, are a metaphysical explanation of the progression of change that is meant to be applied to every phenomenon one encounters in this changing universe: politics, ethics, music, biology, time, seasons, history, etc. What is important to understand is that these five agents explain everything including the progress of change in the universe.

The Chinese Elements and Human Anatomy
In human anatomy, the spleen is ruled by wood, the lungs by fire, the heart by earth, the liver by metal, and the kidneys by water.
If one has a disease of the liver, it is because the liver is being overcome by a fire agent or pathogen? Since fire is overcome by water, one would treat the liver pathogen with a water agent.
This is how the system of Chinese Elements works.
