Whether the Jia Wood destiny needs to open the treasure vault depends on the state of the wealth star and the accessibility of the treasure vault: if the wealth star is suppressed and the treasure vault is closed, it needs to be opened; if the wealth star is strong and the treasure vault is unobstructed, it does not need to be opened. The most feared situations for a Jia Wood destiny when opening the treasure vault are excessive metal energy that harms the wood, excessive fire that drains the body and makes it unable to bear wealth, and the treasure vault being damaged by conflict or punishment, which can lead to difficulty in storing wealth or causing pressure.
Does the Jia Wood Destiny Need to Open the Treasure Vault?
In traditional Chinese astrology, the wealth stars for Jia Wood are the earth elements of the heavenly stems, specifically Wu Earth (Yang Earth) and Ji Earth (Yin Earth), following the principle "the one I overcome is the wealth." Jia Wood overcomes Earth, so these are the wealth stars. The treasure vaults are the "storages" in the earthly branches that contain Wu Earth and Ji Earth — Chen Earth (containing Wu Earth) and Wei Earth (containing Ji Earth).The wealth star is like "visible food," while the treasure vault is like "a grain cellar." Whether a Jia Wood destiny needs to open the treasure vault depends on whether "the food can be smoothly stored in the cellar and whether the cellar door is open."
When the wealth star is suppressed and the treasure vault is closed, it is necessary to open the treasure vault.
If the heavenly stems have Wu Earth and Ji Earth (wealth stars) with root energy (such as the earthly branches containing Chen or Wei, which support the wealth stars), but they are suppressed by other elements (e.g., the wealth stars are attacked by wood or the treasure vault is conflicted or punished), it's like "there is a harvest of food, but it's locked in the cellar and cannot be retrieved."
For example, if Jia Wood is strong, there is a Wu Earth wealth star in the heavenly stem, and there is a Chen Earth treasure vault (containing Wu Earth) in the earthly branch, but the Chen Earth is blocked by Shen Gold (which indirectly suppresses the treasure vault), making it difficult for Wu Earth to function, and thus wealth accumulation becomes difficult. At this time, opening the treasure vault is like "unlocking the cellar," allowing the wealth star energy to be released, increasing income and savings, just like "clearing a clogged pipe to allow water to flow freely."
When the wealth star is strong and the treasure vault is accessible, there is no need to open the treasure vault.
If the heavenly stems Wu Earth and Ji Earth (wealth stars) are strong (e.g., supported by the month's element, or strong in the heavenly stem), and the treasure vaults Chen and Wei are free from conflict or punishment (e.g., Chen Earth is supported by the month's element, and Wei Earth is not affected by Chou Earth), it's like "there is enough food and the cellar door is open, available at any time."
For example, if Jia Wood is strong, there is a Ji Earth wealth star in the heavenly stem, and the earthly branch has Wei Earth (containing Ji Earth) supported by fire (fire generates earth), the wealth star is powerful and the treasure vault is accessible, allowing natural wealth accumulation. At this point, forcing the opening of the vault is like "removing the cellar door," leading to unstable wealth and easy loss, similar to "an intact container doesn't need holes, otherwise it will leak."
The Three Things to Fear Most When Opening the Treasure Vault for Jia Wood
Opening the treasure vault for Jia Wood essentially means "allowing the heavenly stem wealth stars (Wu and Ji Earth) to smoothly enter the earthly branch treasure vaults (Chen and Wei) and remain there." During this process, the three things to fear most are "damaging the foundation of Jia Wood, cutting off the source of the wealth star, and destroying the warehouse of wealth." These three dangers must be carefully noted.First, excessive metal energy that harms the roots of the wood.
Jia Wood belongs to Yang Wood (a large tree), and metal (especially Geng Metal and Shen Metal) is the official or killer element that harms the wood, like "a hatchet chopping the tree."
If there is excessive metal energy during the opening of the treasure vault (e.g., many metals appear in the heavenly stems, or the opening occurs in the years of Shen or You), the Jia Wood may be harmed at its root, resulting in insufficient energy. Even if the wealth stars (Wu and Ji Earth) enter the treasure vault, they cannot be sustained, instead causing pressure (e.g., hard work to earn money, conflicts with others) and draining energy, like "even if there is plenty of food, a wounded tree cannot bring it back to the cellar."
Second, excessive fire that drains the body and cuts off the source of the wealth star.
Fire is the food and injury element of Jia Wood (wood generates fire), and moderate fire can generate the wealth star (fire generates earth), like "sunlight helping crops grow." However, excessive fire will drain the Jia Wood's energy, like "scorching the tree under intense sunlight."
If there is excessive fire during the opening of the treasure vault (e.g., many fires appear in the heavenly stems, or the opening occurs in the months of Si or Wu), the Jia Wood's energy will be exhausted, breaking the chain of food generating wealth, and the wealth stars (Wu and Ji Earth) will lose their source. This results in "wanting to earn money but lacking the strength, and even if wealth is obtained, it is difficult to retain," like "the cellar door is open, but there is no strength to carry the food inside, and the food is also scorched by the sun."
Third, the treasure vault being punished or conflicted, causing the warehouse to collapse.
The treasure vault for Jia Wood, Chen Earth (containing Wu Earth), fears being clashed by Xu Earth; Wei Earth (containing Ji Earth) fears being clashed by Chou Earth. Punishment and conflict are like "a cellar being demolished forcefully."
If the treasure vault encounters punishment or conflict during the opening (e.g., opening the Chen vault in the year of Xu, or opening the Wei vault in the month of Chou), the hidden wealth stars (Wu and Ji Earth) in the earthly branches will be scattered, leading to "the wealth star entering the vault but unable to stay," such as sudden expenses after earning income (e.g., unexpected bills, property loss), like "the cellar collapses, and all the stored food is buried."
Q: How can a Jia Wood destiny determine if the wealth stars (Wu and Ji Earth) are suppressed?
A: Look at the relationship between the wealth stars and other elements: if the heavenly stem Wu Earth and Ji Earth are closely attacked by Jia Wood (companion) (e.g., Jia Wood attacks Wu Earth), or consumed by Yi Wood (rival), it is considered "the wealth star is suppressed"; if the wealth stars are supported by fire (e.g., Bing or Ding Fire), which generates earth, then it is "the wealth star is assisted," and there is no need to open the vault to accumulate wealth smoothly.
Q: How can a Jia Wood destiny enhance the power of the wealth stars (Wu and Ji Earth) when opening the treasure vault?
A: It can use the fire element (fire generates earth), such as wearing red clothes or moving in the southern direction (where fire is strong), to make the fire more effective in generating the wealth stars; at the same time, avoid contact with too much wood element (wood attacks earth), reducing the consumption of the wealth stars, like "fertilizing the food (fire) while preventing weeds (wood) from stealing nutrients," allowing the wealth stars to be more firmly stored in the treasure vault.
