This is a weak geng day master with his wu earth indirect resource star in the year stem. This means that his fire officer stars are also positive but the fire stars do not protrude in the stems. The direct officer fire horse stars are also clashed by zi. Besides, the fire stars in the winter season are very weak. So, this chart will be more balance when the fire stars protrude. Water -> Wood -> FIRE -> Earth -> Metal. Between bing-yin and ding-mao, which is better?









In the ding-mao luck pillar, the zi-mao and mao-wu are all punishments. Since these stars are all the peach blossom stars, there can be problems with the opposite sex. So, the obvious choice is bing-yin. In the bing-yin luck pillar,

1. the bing fire will balance the energy flow as shown above.
2. the bing which represents the sun will warm up this winter afternoon.
3. the three sets of yin-wu are half combo of the yin-wu-xu positive fire frame.

This is a weak ren water day master because there is only one support which is the month branch. This weak day master is rooted in self star which means he has better direction in life.

This chart needs the metal star especially geng to help maintain its balance.

1. Geng can help to arbitrate the strongly rooted earth stars from countering the ren water day master.
2. Geng can help to chop the strongly rooted jia wood.
3. Geng can combine the yi. Although yi might not transformed, its strength can be weaken.

So, I will choose geng-chen as his best luck pillar. In the geng-chen luck pillar, there will be two sets of zi-chen which will pull in the shen which contains his favorable geng. However, the chen-chen self punishment and the chou-chen destruction might give rise to some problems.

This is a weak ding fire day master and it is sitting on mao which contains her favorable resource yi wood. Ding fire sitting on resource makes a beautiful picture especially when born in the dark hours. It will be much better if the jia wood in the month stem is not transformed. Unfortunately, the jia wood is combined by ji and transformed into earth star. So, her best luck pillar should be the pillar that makes the jia reappears. When either ji or jia appears again, there will be a situation of "fighting to combine". This "fighting to combine" will break the jia-ji combination and causes the jia wood to reappear.

So, her best luck pillar should be ji-mao.

During the ji-mao luck pillar, there are a few sets of hai-mao half combos of the hai-mao-wei wood frame. The strong presence of the wood energies can help to control the strongly rooted earth stars. However, there will still be some problems. The hai and mao stars will pull in the wei since ji earth is protruding in the stems. The wei will destruct the xu which means there will be some issues with her children since her output earth stars represent her children.

This chart is a weak ding fire day master and the most important stars are the wood stars, both jia and yi to keep the ding fire burning. So, this ding day master is actually sitting on her favorable yi wood inside mao. However, her negative wealth metal stars are very strong. When the wood stars jia and yi appear, they will be countered by the strongly rooted geng and xin. This chart too has peach blossom stars in all the earthly branches and they are punishing and destructing each other. These peach blossom stars can give rise to problems with the opposite sex. Since mao is being punished by the two zi stars, the quality of the mao is somehow affected.

I will not choose the wood protruding stems to be her best luck pillar because they will be countered by the strong metal stars. So, it should be the fire protruding luck pillar which is either bing-wu or ding-wei. Fire stars which are her self stars represent her wealth since weak day master harnesses wealth through self stars. Besides, the fire stars can also help to reduce the strength of the strongly rooted metal stars and warm up this cold winter night.

It is quite difficult to choose between bing-wu and ding-wei because both have their problems. In the bing-wu luck pillar, the wu horse will be clashed by the two zi stars and also punished by the mao. It is not favorable when the positive star is being clashed especially by a negative star. In the ding-wei luck pillar, the wei and the two zi stars are in a harm formation.
So, bing-wu or ding-wei?










I'm choosing ding-wei over bing-wu because ding fire can control the metal stars more effectively. Besides, the wei and mao are half combo of the hai-mao-wei favorable wood frame. Most important of all, ding fire which represents the fire place can help to warm up the cold winter night. Bing in the dark hours only represent the moon.

This is a weak ding fire day master but some people might read it as strong. The reason is that the wei month is still a summer month but 28th July is quite deep into the wei month which means that the earth qi is very strong. Regardless of weak or strong, a ding day master still needs the wood resource star to continue burning. When there's a bing in the stem and when the ding day master was born in the daylight hours, then the bing which represents the sun will overshadow the ding day master.  Ding fire represents the candle fire which will not be easily seen in the daytime compared to the sun.

The problem in this chart is that the strongly rooted metal stars which represent his negative wealth stars are countering his positive yi wood resource star. So, he has to be very careful with his finances especially during the xin-mao luck pillar when the mao will also be clashed by the you.

His best luck pillar has to be one of the water protruding luck pillars because the water stars will arbitrate the metal-wood clash. When the water star protrudes, the qi flow will be beautiful. Metal -> Water -> Wood -> Fire. So, between gui-si and ren-chen, which is better?









In the ren-chen luck pillar, the chen-you combination will transform the chen into negative metal star. In the gui-si luck pillar, there will be two sets of si-wu-wei fire seasonal combo which are positive for him since self stars also represent wealth for a weak day master. So, gui-si is his best luck pillar but it comes too early for him.

This is a strong ding fire day master and she was born in a very warm summer afternoon. So, this chart needs the water stars to cool the chart and also controls the strongly rooted self stars. It also needs the metal star when the water star protrudes or else the strongly rooted earth stars will counter the water stars. The second most important star in this kind of chart is the earth output stars since the output stars can also help to reduce the strength of the fire stars. So, the strongly rooted earth output stars in her natal chart are very favorable.

​Since there is no metal star in the stem to arbitrate the earth stars from countering the water stars when they appear, I will not choose the water protruding luck pillar as her best luck pillar. Instead, I will choose one of the metal protruding luck pillars as her best luck pillar since metal stars represent her positive wealth.

Between xin-hai and geng-xu, which is better?









In the geng-xu luck pillar, the xu will clash with the chen of the year branch. This clash has its good and bad. It will release more of the stars that are already in the stems which are the positive metal star and the negative fire self star. The negative aspects of the geng-xu luck pillar are the mao-xu negative fire transformation and the wei-xu destruction of her children stars and children palace.

In the xin-hai luck pillar, there is a hai-mao-wei wood frame which will not transform because the summer season will not support the wood frame. The hai-si clash is considered a positive clash since it is the positive water star clashing away the negative fire self star. So, I'm choosing xin-hai as her best luck pillar.
