4.1 Wealth Fortune (財運)
Element Identification
Wealth = Element conquered by Day Master
| Day Master | Wealth Element |
|---|---|
| Wood (甲乙) | Earth (戊己辰戌丑未) |
| Fire (丙丁) | Metal (庚辛申酉) |
| Earth (戊己) | Water (壬癸亥子) |
| Metal (庚辛) | Wood (甲乙寅卯) |
| Water (壬癸) | Fire (丙丁巳午) |
Gender-Specific Interpretation
- Male charts : Wealth element represents both money and romantic relationships
- Female charts : Wealth element represents primarily money (relationships via Authority element)
Flow Analysis Principles
- Wealth element increases from negative/zero → positive = wealth improves
- Wealth element decreases from positive → zero/negative = wealth deteriorates
- Multiple Wealth elements reduced to fewer = better (less scattered focus)
- Few Wealth elements multiplied = worse (diluted benefits)
Special Case - Day Master Under Attack
When Day Master is being conquered, reverse logic applies :
- Wealth element decreasing = good (less energy drain on weakened self)
- Wealth element increasing = bad (additional burden on struggling self)
Wealth Source Analysis - 食傷被定位為「財之源」
Core Principle : Output element (食傷 Food/Injury Spirit) is the source of Wealth (財之源)
Generation Chain :
Day Master → Output Element → Wealth Element
(Self) → (What you produce) → (What you earn)
(Self) → (What you produce) → (What you earn)
Example - Fire Day Master :
- Day Master 丙 Fire
- Output = Earth (Fire generates Earth) = 食傷 (Food/Injury)
- Wealth = Metal (Fire conquers Metal) = 財星 (Wealth)
- But : Earth generates Metal (Output generates Wealth)
- Flow: 丙火 → 戊己土 (Output) → 庚辛金 (Wealth)
Wealth Manifestation Patterns
| Pattern | Natal State | Temporal Requirement | Wealth Manifestation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 財現 | Wealth element visible | No requirement | Wealth accessible throughout life |
| 財不現 | Wealth element absent | Must wait for favorable Decade/Year | Wealth only during specific periods |
| 財源現 | Output present, Wealth absent | Decade/Year brings Wealth element | High earning potential once timing right |
| 財源不現 | Both Output and Wealth absent | Need both Output AND Wealth periods | Extremely limited wealth windows |
財被合走 Analysis - Wealth Combined Away
Pattern Recognition :
- Natal chart has Wealth element (財星)
- Sibling/Competitor element (比劫) present
- Sibling combines with Wealth → 合走 (combined away)
- Result: Wealth "vanishes" despite earning capacity
Example - 甲 Wood Day Master :
- Wealth element = 己 Earth (Wood conquers Earth)
- Natal also has: 甲 Wood (Sibling/同性 Competitor)
- 甲己合 → Wealth combined away by Sibling
- Manifestation :
- Earns money but doesn't accumulate (spent on family, friends, partners)
- Business partnerships drain wealth instead of multiplying it
- Siblings or peers create financial obligations
- "Money flows through hands but never stays"
Wealth Destruction Patterns
| Pattern | Mechanism |
|---|---|
| Combination removal (合走) | Wealth element combined away by Sibling/Competitor element |
| Conquest removal (剋財) | Wealth element conquered by Output element (食傷剋財) |
| Linked destruction (連動) | Multiple Wealth elements simultaneously removed |
| Source destruction (源頭斷) | Output element destroyed → Wealth has no source despite being present |
Actionable Monthly Precision Example
Chart analysis reveals:
- Decade: Generally favorable for wealth
- 2026 Year: Moderately positive
- Monthly breakdown:
- January-February: Stable (+2)
- March-May: Wealth element combines away (-3 crisis)
- June-August: Recovery period (+1)
- September-November: Peak wealth period (+4)
- December: Slight decline (0)
Advice : Accumulate savings January-February, avoid major investments/expenses March-May, rebuild June-August, maximize wealth capture September-November.
