In the study of fate, the "Ten Years of Great Decline" is a critical period that relates to the fluctuations and turning points in a person's destiny. This article delves into various configurations in Four Pillars (Ba Zi) prediction, revealing the possible auspicious or inauspicious changes that may occur during specific major periods. Through the analysis of different birth charts, we can understand how to grasp the flow of destiny at key moments in life.

Changing Lü and Fu Yin: A Period of Disaster

Changing Lü and Fu Yin is a configuration in Four Pillars prediction that indicates great misfortune. For example, in the case of a male born on the day of Wu Wu, Yi Mao, Gui Mao, and Gui Hai, the Lü (official) of Yi is in Mao, and the prosperity of Gui is in Hai, while Wu is strong in Wu. In this configuration, there is no need to consider the favorable or unfavorable elements; it can be determined as a good fate. However, when will the disaster strike? The answer lies in the Fu Yin period of the Four Pillars: Wu Wu, year, Yi Mao, year, Gui Mao, year, and Gui Hai, year.

The Three Oddities Overcome the Oddities: A Period of Great Auspiciousness

The Three Oddities Overcome the Oddities is another configuration indicating great auspiciousness. For example, in the case of a male born on the day of Geng Shen, Ren Wu, Xin You, and Gui Si, this chart contains the three oddities of Ren, Gui, and Xin, and there are mutual conflicts and injuries in the Four Pillars, indicating a good fate. The fortunate period occurs when the Geng stem is subject to the influence of Bing: during the Bing period or year, which is the time of auspiciousness for the Three Oddities, and also the time when another Geng stem is restrained.

Missing One Element of the Five Phases and the Direction of Destiny

Missing one element of the Five Phases refers to the absence of a particular element in the Four Pillars. For example, in the case of a male born on the day of Wu Wu, Yi Mao, Gui Mao, and Gui Hai, the element of Metal is missing. The missing element of the Five Phases may affect the harmonizing and using element, leading to a life without special opportunities, but not necessarily an inauspicious fate. It could also represent wealth or official positions, affecting marriage and the accumulation of wealth. Additionally, the absence of one element may indicate early death, such as when the Food God is dominant and the Seal is missing, or when the Seven Killers are dominant and the Food God is missing.

Archiving and Colliding: An Omen of Misfortune

Archiving and Colliding refer to two pillars in the Four Pillars that form an arching connection, where any one pillar has a double collision. For example, in the case of a male born on the day of Jia Shen, Jia Xu, Jia Yin, and Jia Xu, the major period of Geng Chen collides with Jia Xu, resulting in the destruction of the family and the end of the life. When all the pillars are in an arching and colliding state, and any one of the two arching pillars has a double collision, it is an omen of misfortune.

Two Hexagrams and Three Combinations Colliding: A Period of Ruin

Two Hexagrams and Three Combinations Colliding refers to a situation where the major period forms a hexagram with the month pillar, and simultaneously forms a three-combination with the year and hour pillars, causing a Western Gold collision with the month pillar's卯 (Mao). For example, in the case of a male born on the day of Ji You, Ding Mao, Geng Chen, and Jia Shen, this configuration results in a complete failure and the loss of the family.

Equal Balance of Body and Wealth, and the Period of Prosperity

Equal Balance of Body and Wealth, and the Period of Prosperity refers to a balanced condition between the body and wealth elements in the Four Pillars. For example, in the case of a male born on the day of Wu Shen, Wu Wu, Wu Zi, and Wu Wu, during the Geng Shen major period, Earth and Water serve as the bridge, forming a three-combination of wealth elements and entering the official career. During the Geng Shen major period and the year of Wu Chen, this is a standard period of using the bridge element, marking a time of prosperity.

Day Master Without Roots and Accumulating Wealth: Death

Day Master Without Roots and Accumulating Wealth refers to the situation where the day master is in the stage of extinction (Jue), without roots. For example, in the case of a male born on the day of Xin Mao, Xin Mao, Xin Mao, and Xin Mao, he dies in the Da Yun of Ding Hai, when the year of Hai, Mao, and Wei converge in the Jue (wealth) position. Ten cases of Xin Mao are the worst among all similar Four Pillars charts.

Ten Years of Arching Wealth: A Period of Good Fortune and Wealth Accumulation

Ten Years of Arching Wealth: A Period of Good Fortune and Wealth Accumulation refers to a time of significant wealth accumulation during a specific major period. For example, in the case of a male born on the day of Gui Si, Bing Chen, Bing Wu, and Geng Yin, although the official is stored away and there is no prosperous fate, the wealth is accumulated through the Gui Chou and Ren Zi major periods. During the Gui Chou major period, the year pillar of Gui Si forms an arching connection with the Gui Chou, creating a three-combination of wealth elements, marking a period of good fortune and wealth accumulation.

Through the analysis of the "Ten Years of Great Decline" in the study of fate, we can see that the auspicious or inauspicious changes in personal destiny are closely related to various configurations in the Four Pillars. At key moments in life, understanding these configurations is crucial for grasping the flow of destiny. Through detailed analysis and prediction, we can better plan our future, avoid risks, and seize opportunities.
