i have read a interpretation of arrival of Jia in a bing DM chart with Yin

Wu Xu will cause forest fire and obliterate Bing. but most interprete it as
Jia will be destroyed. I noted in YHZP that Bing do not like jia either.
What do you think?

Jia embodies the Young Yang 少阳 and Bing embodies Old Yang 太阳 / 老阳,
When Jia feeds Bing, it's a very 'Yang' thing, abrupt and excessive. 

Whether this is good or not needs to be analyzed from the Useful God/ chart
structure perspective.

天干地支 HS / EB - Part 21 HS - YHZP Wu and Ji

戊 Wu Earth

戊土城墙堤岸同，振江河海要根重，
Wu Earth is like the castle wall or river banks, to
hold rivers and seas its roots have to be heavy.

柱中带合形还壮，日下乘虚势必崩。
Meeting combination in the pillar(s)? its shape is
still strong, under the day sitting on 'fake'
(unsupported) it will collapse.

力薄不胜金漏泄，功成安用木疏通。
If its strength is thin, it will not win metals
exhaustion, to be successful, it's good to use wood
to tilt and let through.

平生最爱东南健，身旺东南健失中。
It likes east and south the most, when its
prosperous go east and south but when it's lost.
middle.

Implied meaning:

In order to contain Water, Wu earth has to be

strongly rooted.
Meeting Gui to combine, Wu earth is still strong (as
combination fire engenders earth)
Wu Zi pillar is inauspicious
Does not like metal when it's weak, 
To be successful, it needs wood
When it's strong it likes Wood and fire, 
When it's weak it likes Earth. 

Ji Earth
已土田园属四维.坤深为万物之基，
Ji earth as fields and gardens it belongs to the four corners (NE, SE, NW and SW),
Kun is deep as it's the base of thousand beings

水金旺处身还弱.火土功成局最奇，
It's still weak at the place where water and metal are prosperous, it's most marvelous
when fire and earth complete the work.

失令岂能埋剑戟.得时方能用磁基，
Losing the command, how can it bury swords and lances? gaining the season only it
can be used loadstone. 

谩夸印旺遇多合.不遇刑冲总不宜
Prosperous resources with meeting many combinations are fake overestimation, not
meeting punishment and clashes it will always not be beneficial

Implied meaning
Ji earth is weak at Chou and Shen, as metal and water exhaust earth. At these places
fire and earth are beneficial.
Without support of the season, earth cannot withstand metal, when it's in season it
can use metal.
Strong Fire and meeting combination is not really auspicious
Sitting on Si or Wei combination is not beneficial, clashes and punishments are
beneficial

Hi Anonymous,

I accidentally deleted the previous comment, so I have to post this comment. 

I believe Ji earth is strong because it has Qi in EB Wu and Si, even though it is

born out of season.

Well, the materials in this blog are confusing if you read it from 'modern bazi'
perspective. For instance, classical bazi does not begin analysis with the
strength of Daymaster. It begins with determining the correct structure. 

The topics about Useful God in the September entries are good to begin
learning about structure identification, after that, the translations would be less
confusing and contradicting. 

Thank you for reading

 Hi Trey,

Sorry that i have to bother u again.

Please confirm if my structure is " prosperous wealth engendering officer"

I read post of july 8, say should not see DO in the chart, but I got 2 jia hidden as
Direct officer. Does it make the structure or not?

Thanks for your time!!

Let me see

Ji Ji Gui Wu
Si Hai Hai Wu

Jia born in Hai, this is a Wealth engendering Officer structure, but it has a
sickness that is Gui Wealth is being robbed by Wu earth. Wood does not
protrude from the EBs so it cannot stop this robbery. You will do well when
Wood comes in the HS in your LPs.

Trey

Hi trey,

Thanks for your confirm on my structure!!!

Wood jia and yi is my useful gods, right? how about bing and ding, i thought i
need more sun before ji can be productive.

First bing or ding

Second jia or yi
Third xin or geng

If my structure like what u said, i have to wait till 78 and 88 years old to see
woods in hs of luck pillar. I really question if i could live that long.;-)..does that
imply that i have no luck this life.?:-(

Thanks for your feedback!!

 Dear bluemoon,

Useful God is Wealth, the element that commands the chart. 

Favorable entity is named 'Minister God', the God that rescue the Useful God, in
this case, Officer. 

Bing and Ding cannot help in supporting or protecting the Useful God. Wealth
that is robbed will be difficult to engender Officer. The structure breaks.

The chart already has Si and Wu and does not need anymore fire. 

Well, if wood takes so long to arrive, you need to move other factors to improve
your life, 

1. Destiny 
2. Luck 
3. Feng Shui 
4. Charity
5. Education
6. Name
7. Look
8. Prayers
9. Noble friends
10. Self Cultivation

So you need to move Feng Shui, Charity etc etc. 

Warmest regards!
Trey

Hi Trey,

Thank you very much for your comment!!!

If the structure breaks, does it become other structure or might be not?.. Ex

structure breaks means breaks become not noble.

Really look forward to your next posts, keep up the good work!!!

Look forward

Dear bluemoon,

The structure becomes less noble, good thing is Wealth is strongly rooted,
although it's robbed, it's still functioning, although to a lesser degree. 

Thanks for reading the blog :)

Trey
