What is the scientific basis for the Five Elements and Bagua astrology?

To be honest, the Five Elements and Bagua astrology and modern science (mathematics and physics) are completely different in nature. Except for a few parts that can be explained by modern science in application, they are basically two completely different theoretical systems. , so they cannot explain each other, let alone provide basis.

As for whether it is trustworthy, I can only say that it is not completely trustworthy, because there are too many idealistic things, and I think most people cannot understand it. There is no way to verify it (but we have received Mazhe materialist education and modern scientific theories since we were young, so it is probably difficult to understand these), but some contents such as Feng Shui are still very valuable (Feng Shui masters in Hong Kong are Very popular).

However, we cannot deny that the ancient Chinese philosophical theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements is quite successful in philosophy and medicine, but it is far from the perfection of modern science, and it is not consistent with modern science. The biggest difference between modern science is that the research and analysis of problems starts from a macro perspective and operates in a black box, while modern science starts from a micro perspective and systematically and comprehensively analyzes each process. This makes people extremely painful when they encounter some complex problems, and people cannot understand them. In infinite variables, write infinite equations to solve the problem.

So I believe that if these ancient philosophical theories can be developed and perfected and some errors and superstitions are removed, their value will be no less than that of modern science.
