🔄 Systematic Workflow

This workflow represents the complete professional analysis process from data collection through consultation delivery. Follow each step systematically for consistent, accurate results.

Each stage builds on the previous—never skip steps or change sequence.

此工作流程代表從數據收集到諮詢交付的完整專業分析過程。系統地遵循每個步驟以獲得一致、準確的結果。

每個階段都建立在前一階段之上——永遠不要跳過步驟或更改順序。

5.1 Pre-Analysis Preparation

Step 1: Collect Accurate Birth Data

Data Required
  • Year, Month, Day, Hour (四柱)
  • Critical : Determine Early/Late 子 hour (23:00-24:00 vs 00:00-01:00)
  • Critical : Apply True Solar Time correction (真太陽時)
    • Clock time ≠ solar time due to longitude and political timezone boundaries
    • Use professional Bazi plotting software with automatic solar time adjustment
    • Example: Taiwan clock 14:00 might be solar 13:42
Step 2
Plot Complete Chart
  • Natal Four Pillars with Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches
  • Decade Luck sequence from birth through age 100+
  • Identify current Decade and Year for analysis focus

5.2 Natal Chart Analysis (本命分析)

Heavenly Stem Layer

  1. Mark Day Master element (出生日天干)
  2. Mark other three Heavenly Stems' elements and Yin/Yang
  3. Check natal combinations (甲己, 乙庚, 丙辛, 丁壬, 戊癸)
  4. Process combinations (combined elements "disappear")
  5. Apply Yang-first, Yin-second sequencing
  6. Derive Heavenly Stem Five Elements flow result

Earthly Branch Layer

  1. Mark Day Branch element
  2. Mark other three Earthly Branches' elements and Yin/Yang
  3. Check natal combinations (子丑, 寅亥, 卯戌, 辰酉, 巳申, 午未)
  4. Process combinations (combined elements "disappear")
  5. Apply Yang-first, Yin-second sequencing
  6. Derive Earthly Branch Five Elements flow result

Synthesis

  1. Determine if Day Master is under conquest (most critical diagnosis)
  2. Label all eight characters with Ten Spirits (財官印食比傷殺才)
  3. Assess five fortune domains' baseline states (財官印食比)
  4. Identify natal strengths and vulnerabilities

5.3 Decade Luck Analysis (大運分析) ⭐ MOST IMPORTANT

Key Insight from Master Zhong

"If the ten-year Decade Luck is negative, even if individual Years within are positive, they provide minimal benefit. Like trying to farm in winter—even sunny days yield poor harvest. Decade Luck is the season itself."

Heavenly Stem Sub-Analysis

  1. Decade Luck Heavenly Stem interacts with Natal Heavenly Stems first (Rule 1)
  2. Check for new combinations (Decade + Natal)
  3. Process combinations (合 stage)
  4. Apply Yang-first, Yin-second to generation/conquest (生剋 stage)
  5. Derive new Heavenly Stem flow state with Decade included

Earthly Branch Sub-Analysis

  1. Decade Luck Earthly Branch interacts with Natal Earthly Branches first (Rule 1)
  2. Check for new combinations (Decade + Natal)
  3. Process combinations (合 stage)
  4. Apply Yang-first, Yin-second to generation/conquest (生剋 stage)
  5. Derive new Earthly Branch flow state with Decade included

Decade Synthesis (Critical Determination)

  1. Re-assess Day Master conquest status : Intensified or alleviated?
  2. Judge five fortune domains' ten-year trajectories : Which improve, which deteriorate?
  3. Mark overall decade trend : Expansion decade? Contraction decade? Crisis decade? Breakthrough decade?
  4. THIS STEP DETERMINES TEN-YEAR MACRO FORTUNE → Most impactful analysis phase
✦ ◆ ✦

5.4 Annual Fortune Analysis (流年分析)

Heavenly Stem Sub-Analysis

1
Annual Fortune Heavenly Stem + Decade Luck Heavenly Stem interact first
2
Check for combinations (Annual + Decade, Annual + Natal)
3
Activate linked combinations (連動合)
4
Activate linked conquests (連動剋)
5
Apply Yang-first, Yin-second
6
Derive Heavenly Stem flow with Annual included

Earthly Branch Sub-Analysis

1
Annual Fortune Earthly Branch + Decade Luck Earthly Branch interact first
2
Check for combinations (Annual + Decade, Annual + Natal)
3
Activate linked combinations (連動合)
4
Activate linked conquests (連動剋)
5
Apply Yang-first, Yin-second
6
Derive Earthly Branch flow with Annual included

Annual Synthesis

  1. Assess that year's Day Master conquest situation
  2. Judge five fortune domains' annual fluctuations
  3. Identify most severely injured element → Corresponds to Ten Spirit → Primary fortune domain at risk that year
  4. Compare to Decade baseline → How much deviation from ten-year trend?
✦ ◆ ✦

5.5 Monthly Fortune Analysis (流月分析) 🔥 PRECISION TARGETING

Why This is Game-Changing

Traditional masters stop at yearly analysis: "2026 is financially difficult."

Wuxing Pai proceeds to monthly precision: "2026 January-February stable, March-May财星合走 = wealth destruction window, June-July recovery, August-November wealth peaks, December declines."

Client's reaction : "How can you possibly know which months ? This is terrifyingly accurate."

Procedure

1
Calculate Monthly Stems using Five Tiger Method (五虎遁)
2
Process each month sequentially (12 iterations):
  • Check Monthly Stem+Branch interaction with Year+Decade+Natal
  • Apply Rule 2 (合生剋 sequence)
  • Identify which elements strengthen/weaken
3
Map element disappearance windows:
  • "Wealth element absent March-July" → Avoid financial risk those months
  • "Authority element destroyed February-May" → Career crisis window
  • "Output element peaks June-August" → Creative/performance opportunity
4
Mark crisis months vs. opportunity months
5
Provide specific monthly guidance: "May is worst for wealth destruction; August offers promotion window; November romance favorable"

Master Zhong's Teaching

"You've only mastered Annual analysis so far. But there's Monthly variance—and that's what makes traditional Bazi practitioners terrified . When they hear you can pinpoint the exact month disasters strike, their entire framework collapses."

Student: "Just predicting the year already shocks them."

Master Zhong: "They haven't witnessed truly complete analysis yet. When you add Monthly precision on top of yearly accuracy, you're operating on a different plane of temporal mastery."

5.6 Finding Treatment Spirit (找治療用神)

Post-Analysis Prescription Phase

1
Review analysis conclusions: Which element(s) most severely injured?
2
Identify remediation approaches:
  • Conquest route (剋法): Use element that conquers the attacker
  • Drainage route (洩法): Use element that drains the attacker
  • Combination route (合法): Use element that combines away attacker
  • Intermediary route (通關法): Insert bridging element to smooth flow
3
Select optimal approach based on:
  • Severity of injury (mild vs. severe)
  • Duration of problematic period (one year vs. entire decade)
  • Client's life constraints (career locked in, can't relocate, etc.)
4
Translate to life adjustments:
  • Career/industry direction
  • Geographic relocation or travel
  • Color therapy (clothing, home, office)
  • Numerical selection (phone, address, license plate)
  • Social relationships (increase/decrease certain element types in social circle)

Example Translation

Chart shows Day Master (Wood) under severe Fire conquest, most intense in current Decade:

Elemental Remedy : Need Water (conquers Fire) or Metal (drains Fire)

Life Application :

  • Career : Shift toward Water industries (shipping, beverages, tourism, cleaning) or Metal industries (finance, machinery, law)
  • Location : Relocate north (Water direction) or west (Metal direction) within city/country
  • Color : Wear black/blue (Water) or white/silver (Metal) clothing predominantly
  • Social : Increase time with people whose Day Master is Water/Metal (they emit that elemental energy)
  • Numbers : Select phone numbers, addresses with 1,6 (Water) or 4,9 (Metal)
  • Activities : Swimming, sailing, waterfall visits (Water immersion); metalworking hobbies, financial studying (Metal engagement)
