How to choose the favorable gods for the Four Pillars of Destiny?
I. If the Day Master is weak and there are many Wealth Stars, the first choice for the Useful God is the Supportive Star (Bi Jie)
If the Day Master is weak and there are many Wealth Stars, it is like being overloaded with jewelry, which may attract greed from others. Unfortunately, the body is not strong enough to guard the treasures, and if they are stolen, one needs help from strangers and friends to recover them. If one wants to reclaim them, one must have strength to fight, otherwise, one may lose wealth or even face severe consequences, such as losing both life and property. Therefore, the Supportive Star can compensate for the weakness of the Day Master and the excess of Wealth Stars, helping to resist external threats.
It can be seen that Wealth Stars and Supportive Stars are in a conflicting relationship. Why is this an example of a negative situation? Because when the Day Master is weak but there are many Wealth Stars, one cannot carry the wealth, making the process of earning money difficult. Moreover, when wealth is obtained, it often brings disaster. For such a destiny chart, Wealth Stars are the root of misfortune. This kind of destiny has a good woman's luck, but at a heavy cost, even leading to imprisonment. When can Wealth Stars be controlled? Only when the运势 (destiny trend) is in the Supportive Star phase, then the fortune can flourish. If the Day Master is weak and is Wood, and Earth is the strong Wealth Star, then Wood becomes lush; if the Day Master is weak and is Metal, and Wood is the strong Wealth Star, then Metal becomes sharp and can cut Wood into talent; if the Day Master is weak and is Fire, and Metal is the strong Wealth Star, then Fire is refined; if the Day Master is weak and is Water, and Fire is the strong Wealth Star, then Water is well balanced; if the Day Master is weak and is Earth, and Water is the strong Wealth Star, then Earth is solid. When the运势 is in the Supportive Star phase, not only will one become rich and powerful, but also one's siblings and relatives will benefit greatly. The second best is the phase of the Indulgent Star (Xiao Yin).
If the Day Master is weak and there are many Wealth Stars, and there are no Supportive Stars in the destiny chart, then the Indulgent Star can serve as the second choice of Useful God. Since the Indulgent Star has a nurturing relationship with the Day Master, it first serves the purpose of nurturing the Day Master. If the Day Master is too weak and encounters the enemy star Wealth Star, it becomes even weaker, like adding salt to wounds. Choosing the Indulgent Star as the Useful God for a weak Day Master with many Wealth Stars can also reduce the influence of Wealth Stars.
In the运势, the Supportive Star is the best, during which one can become a wealthy person, with everything going smoothly. The second best is the Indulgent Star phase, which is also beneficial for academic pursuits. Therefore, if the Day Master is weak and is Metal, and Wood is the strong Wealth Star, then Earth can be used as the Indulgent Star to nurture the Day Master and reduce the Wealth Star; if the Day Master is weak and is Wood, and Earth is the strong Wealth Star, then Water can be used as the Indulgent Star to nurture the Day Master and reduce the Wealth Star; if the Day Master is weak and is Earth, and Water is the strong Wealth Star, then Fire can be used as the Indulgent Star to nurture the Day Master and reduce the Wealth Star; if the Day Master is weak and is Water, and Fire is the strong Wealth Star, then Metal can be used as the Indulgent Star to nurture the Day Master and reduce the Wealth Star; if the Day Master is weak and is Fire, and Metal is the strong Wealth Star, then Wood can be used as the Indulgent Star to nurture the Day Master and reduce the Wealth Star.

II. If the Day Master is weak and there are many Food and Injury Stars, the first choice for the Useful God is the Indulgent Star
The Indulgent Star nurtures the Day Master and also controls the enemy star Food and Injury Star, thus both supporting the weak and stopping the excessive loss. Therefore, if the Day Master is weak and is Metal, and there are many Food and Injury Stars (Water), use Earth as the Indulgent Star to control the Water and nurture the Day Master; if the Day Master is weak and is Fire, and there are many Food and Injury Stars (Earth), use Wood as the Indulgent Star to control the Earth and nurture the Day Master; if the Day Master is weak and is Wood, and there are many Food and Injury Stars (Fire), use Water as the Indulgent Star to control the Fire and nurture the Day Master; if the Day Master is weak and is Earth, and there are many Food and Injury Stars (Metal), use Fire as the Indulgent Star to control the Metal and nurture the Day Master; if the Day Master is weak and is Water, and there are many Food and Injury Stars (Wood), use Metal as the Indulgent Star to control the Wood and nurture the Day Master. If there is no Indulgent Star in the destiny chart, the next best choice is the Supportive Star.
Even though the Supportive Star may not be able to handle the Food and Injury Star effectively, at least the body can bear it. Therefore, if the Day Master is weak and is Metal, and there are many Food and Injury Stars (Water), the Supportive Star (Metal) is preferred to strengthen the Day Master; if the Day Master is weak and is Fire, and there are many Food and Injury Stars (Earth), the Supportive Star (Fire) is preferred to strengthen the Day Master; if the Day Master is weak and is Wood, and there are many Food and Injury Stars (Fire), the Supportive Star (Wood) is preferred to strengthen the Day Master; if the Day Master is weak and is Earth, and there are many Food and Injury Stars (Metal), the Supportive Star (Earth) is preferred to strengthen the Day Master; if the Day Master is weak and is Water, and there are many Food and Injury Stars (Wood), the Supportive Star (Water) is preferred to strengthen the Day Master.

III. If the Day Master is strong and there are many Indulgent Stars, the Useful God should be the Wealth Star
The Wealth Star as the Useful God can not only carry and obtain wealth but also control the original source of the Day Master (the Indulgent Star that nourishes the Day Master), preventing excessive generation of the Day Master and reducing the possibility of stealing wealth. The Day Master and Wealth Star have a conflicting relationship. If the Day Master is already strong and is further strengthened by the Indulgent Star, the Wealth Star becomes too weak. For example, if the Day Master is weak and meets fire, it will be melted; if the Day Master is weak and meets water, it will be extinguished; if the Day Master is weak and meets earth, it will be blocked; if the Day Master is weak and meets wood, it will be overturned; if the Day Master is weak and meets metal, it will be broken.
Therefore, if the Day Master is strong and is Fire, and is further strengthened by the Wood Indulgent Star, the first choice for the Useful God is the Metal Wealth Star to control the Wood Indulgent Star and reduce the strong Day Master; if the Day Master is strong and is Water, and is further strengthened by the Metal Indulgent Star, the first choice for the Useful God is the Fire Wealth Star to control the Metal Indulgent Star and reduce the strong Day Master; if the Day Master is strong and is Earth, and is further strengthened by the Fire Indulgent Star, the first choice for the Useful God is the Water Wealth Star to control the Fire Indulgent Star and reduce the strong Day Master; if the Day Master is strong and is Wood, and is further strengthened by the Water Indulgent Star, the first choice for the Useful God is the Earth Wealth Star to control the Water Indulgent Star and reduce the strong Day Master; if the Day Master is strong and is Metal, and is further strengthened by the Earth Indulgent Star, the first choice for the Useful God is the Wood Wealth Star to control the Earth Indulgent Star and reduce the strong Day Master.
If the Day Master is strong and there are many Indulgent Stars without any Wealth Star in the destiny chart, then the chart lacks the Useful God. In this case, the second choice for the Useful God can be the Official Star (Guan Sha), which can control and suppress the strong Day Master. If there are no Official Stars, then the second choice is the Food and Injury Star, which can relieve the strong Day Master and consume the strong Indulgent Star.
Therefore, if the Day Master is strong and is Fire, and is further strengthened by the Wood Indulgent Star, the first choice for the Useful God is the Metal Wealth Star to control the Wood Indulgent Star and reduce the strong Day Master; if the Day Master is strong and is Water, and is further strengthened by the Metal Indulgent Star, the first choice for the Useful God is the Fire Wealth Star to control the Metal Indulgent Star and reduce the strong Day Master; if the Day Master is strong and is Earth, and is further strengthened by the Fire Indulgent Star, the first choice for the Useful God is the Water Wealth Star to control the Fire Indulgent Star and reduce the strong Day Master; if the Day Master is strong and is Wood, and is further strengthened by the Water Indulgent Star, the first choice for the Useful God is the Earth Wealth Star to control the Water Indulgent Star and reduce the strong Day Master; if the Day Master is strong and is Metal, and is further strengthened by the Earth Indulgent Star, the first choice for the Useful God is the Wood Wealth Star to control the Earth Indulgent Star and reduce the strong Day Master.
If the Day Master is strong and there are many Indulgent Stars without any Wealth Star in the destiny chart, then the chart lacks the Useful God. In this case, the second choice for the Useful God can be the Official Star (Guan Sha), which can control and suppress the strong Day Master. If there are no Official Stars, then the second choice is the Food and Injury Star, which can relieve the strong Day Master and consume the strong Indulgent Star.
IV. If the Day Master is strong and there are many Supportive Stars
There are three situations. First, the Supportive Star consumes the Wealth Star, and without controlling the Supportive Star, one cannot sustain life or achieve wealth and honor through the Wealth Star. Therefore, the Official Star (Guan Sha) is the first choice for the Useful God. If the destiny chart contains an Official Star or a Killing Star, it not only controls the Supportive Star that appears on the Heavenly Stem but also controls the official position of the Month Root.
Because the Day Master being strong means that either the Supportive Star helps the Day Master or the Indulgent Star nourishes the Day Master excessively, or the Day Master is in its ruling position. The ruling position refers to the Day Master being in the place of Growth, Bathing, Crown, Official, or Imperial Position in the Month Root, especially when the Day Master is in the Official Position in the Month Root, which is called the "Established Office." In the Five Elements, if the Day Master is strong and is Metal, the first choice for the Useful God is the Fire Official Star; if the Day Master is strong and is Earth, the first choice for the Useful God is the Wood Official Star; if the Day Master is strong and is Water, the first choice for the Useful God is the Earth Official Star; if the Day Master is strong and is Fire, the first choice for the Useful God is the Water Official Star; if the Day Master is strong and is Wood, the first choice for the Useful God is the Metal Official Star.
If the Day Master is strong and there are no Official or Killing Stars, the second choice for the Useful God is the Food and Injury Star, which can relieve the strong Day Master and also relieve the strong energy of the Month Root. The Food and Injury Star has the ability to generate wealth, and without the Official or Killing Star, it does not interfere with the first choice of the Useful God. Therefore, if the Day Master is strong and is Metal, and there is no Fire Official Star to control it, the second choice is the Water Food and Injury Star; if the Day Master is strong and is Wood, the second choice is the Fire Food and Injury Star; if the Day Master is strong and is Water, the second choice is the Wood Food and Injury Star; if the Day Master is strong and is Fire, the second choice is the Earth Food and Injury Star; if the Day Master is strong and is Earth, the second choice is the Metal Food and Injury Star.

If the Day Master is strong and there are no Official or Killing Stars, the second choice for the Useful God is the Food and Injury Star, which can relieve the strong Day Master and also relieve the strong energy of the Month Root. The Food and Injury Star has the ability to generate wealth, and without the Official or Killing Star, it does not interfere with the first choice of the Useful God. Therefore, if the Day Master is strong and is Metal, and there is no Fire Official Star to control it, the second choice is the Water Food and Injury Star; if the Day Master is strong and is Wood, the second choice is the Fire Food and Injury Star; if the Day Master is strong and is Water, the second choice is the Wood Food and Injury Star; if the Day Master is strong and is Fire, the second choice is the Earth Food and Injury Star; if the Day Master is strong and is Earth, the second choice is the Metal Food and Injury Star.
