In traditional Chinese astrology, "strong self and weak wealth" is an important concept that involves the accumulation of personal wealth and the direction of one's destiny. This article will delve into the meaning of strong self and weak wealth, its influencing factors, and how to analyze a person's wealth level and destiny trends through the Eight Characters (Ba Zi).
The Meaning of Strong Self and Weak Wealth
Strong self and weak wealth refers to a situation in a person's Ba Zi where the day master (representing the individual) is strong, while the wealth star (representing wealth) is relatively weak. In this case, the individual has strong ability but lacks sufficient wealth accumulation. A strong self can handle wealth, but if there are elements like the same stem or the same branch in the fate or in the year of change, it must have an official star to control these elements in order to become rich.
The Relationship Between Strong Self and Wealth
A strong self with an official star protecting the wealth is a sign of a wealthy and prosperous life. A strong self can handle wealth, and when entering the wealth or official years, one can become rich. However, if the wealth is too strong and the self is weak, entering the same stem or same branch years can allow the self to handle the wealth, thus becoming rich. Small wealth occurs when the wealth is used and is in the key positions such as the seat, month stem, or hour stem without being harmed. Large wealth occurs when the wealth is used and is in these positions without being harmed, and also has roots and storage, with favorable major years.
The Wealth Sign of the "Abandoning the Self to Follow Wealth" Pattern
In the Ba Zi, forming the "abandoning the self to follow wealth" pattern is also a sign of great wealth. In this pattern, the individual is powerless, and the entire Ba Zi consists of wealth, so they follow wealth. These people have great fortune and wealth, strong good fortune, substantial fixed assets, and can easily gain wealth, but when the fortune is bad, their wealth can easily be lost.
The Relationship Between the Road Star and Wealth
If the year pillar has a road star, and the road star sits on a source of power or a position of honor, it indicates that the parents are always busy with their careers, are respected, and symbolize a "rich father" or "official father." If the road star is the wealth star or the official star, or is the use element, and carries "Tianyi" or "Fude" benevolent stars, it is also considered the road star meeting a benevolent star.
The Importance of the Wealth Star Opening the Gate
The wealth star opening the gate means having affection, not focusing on whether it is strong or weak, and not distinguishing between who is stronger or weaker. Many practitioners believe that as long as the wealth star is controlled, one can get wealth, which is a misunderstanding. They do not understand the importance of the word "affection."
Case Analysis
Through several case analyses, we can see how to determine a person's wealth level based on the combination of major years and the position of the wealth star in cases of strong self and weak wealth. For example, a Ba Zi with earth and metal dominance requires the wealth star to loosen the earth for use. In situations where the wealth is strong and the killing element is strong, if the day master is weak, it is favorable to have a root in the hour branch to make the day master stable.
Core Knowledge and Wealth Level Judgment
Core knowledge includes the need for the use of food or injury elements to connect when the self is strong and the wealth is weak without an official star. When the self is strong and the wealth is strong without food or injury elements, it is necessary to have an official or killing element to protect the wealth. The methods to judge major, medium, and minor wealth include the wealth star being affectionate in the original fate, favorable major years, and the wealth star being protected but not strongly defended in the original fate.
Through the analysis of the Ba Zi of strong self and weak wealth, we can understand that the accumulation of personal wealth and the direction of one's destiny are influenced by various factors. The position, strength, presence of storage, and whether it is supported in the Ba Zi determine a person's level of small, medium, large, or super-wealth. Mastering these core knowledge helps us more accurately analyze and predict a person's wealth destiny.
