Also called wealth strengthens the seal, when the seal star is the essential element in the eight characters and wealth is strong enough to weaken the seal. If the day stem is weak and the seal star is needed to support it, then it is not favorable for wealth to be strong, as wealth can weaken the seal. If the seal star is the essential element in the chart, but there is wealth that conflicts or weakens the seal, this is an unfavorable sign. For those with such a fate, they may either leave their hometown, have an unstable career, fail to achieve academic success, suffer misfortune due to wealth, lose their mother early, be physically weak and often ill, move frequently, be superficial without real knowledge, or have poor relations with their mother-in-law. These problems will likely occur one or more of them, and it also depends on where the wealth and seal stars are located in the chart. When encountering this in the great fortune, it usually indicates disaster, or losing a government position (perhaps going into business), or even dying due to wealth. In cases where wealth destroys the seal, it is better to have a sibling or relative to control the wealth. This rule also applies to the great fortune.

When the day stem is strong and there are many siblings or relatives, and no official or killer, it is necessary to use injury or food to drain the power of the day stem to achieve balance. This is called draining the essence, and it is especially favorable if there is wealth in the chart. Then the siblings or relatives generate the injury or food, which in turn generate wealth, and wealth is something we enjoy. If the day stem is weak, and then encounters injury or food, it would further weaken the day stem, which is very bad. In this case, it is better to have siblings or relatives to take over the burden, or have the seal star to restrain the injury or food. This rule also applies to the annual and great fortune cycles.

After the four pillars of the birth chart are arranged, the siblings and relatives (the same five elements as the day stem) can help the day stem when it is weak. For example, if the day stem is Jia, then Jia (sibling), Yi (relative), or Yin (lucky position), Mao (military blade) can be considered. These similar elements represent brothers and friends. Just like a person who cannot fight alone, having brothers to help or support can make it possible to win. This is the role of supporting the body. If the day stem is weak and cannot withstand the suppression, drainage, or consumption from wealth, officials, or injury, then the presence of siblings or relatives to support the body is very good. This is known as using siblings or relatives as the essential element. For instance, if the chart has a lot of wealth but the day stem is weak, it is favorable for siblings or relatives to help the day stem resist the wealth. If the chart has strong officials or killers and the day stem is weak, it is favorable for siblings or relatives to support the day stem against the officials or killers. If the chart has strong injury or food and the day stem is weak, it is also favorable for siblings or relatives to support the day stem. The same logic applies to the great fortune and annual cycles. When the day stem is weak and siblings or relatives are used as the essential element, people with this fate will have affectionate brothers, supportive friends, and good social relationships. Their success is sure to rely on the help of brothers and friends.

If the day stem is strong and the siblings or relatives are regarded as an obstacle, and the siblings or relatives come to compete, this is extremely dangerous and brings disasters. This is also called siblings or relatives stealing wealth. At this time, the siblings or relatives are regarded as an obstacle. If the day stem's five elements are strong, and there are many siblings or relatives in the chart, then the siblings or relatives' support becomes a competition for wealth and resources. Since too much strength leads to excess, which results in reversal, the wealth in the chart is originally meant for the day stem to enjoy, but the siblings or relatives come to steal it. In reality, such people easily lose property, benefits, or women, or even good job positions to their brothers or friends. If the siblings or relatives are too strong, they must be controlled by officials or killers to bring good fortune. People with the fate of siblings or relatives stealing wealth tend to have excessive spending, poor financial sense, inability to save money, frequent loss of wealth, and are prone to encounter small people stealing wealth. Brothers and friends lack loyalty. When encountering this in the great fortune, it often leads to being schemed against and falling into ruin. If the day stem is strong and the siblings or relatives are numerous and become obstacles, the chart should have officials or killers to control them, and the great fortune should also favor officials or killers.

If the day stem is strong, and there is a sword (yang knife) in the chart, it is favorable to see the official star, especially if the official star has roots and appears in the heavenly stems, which can control the sword, and this is called "official star with the sword," symbolizing the authority of commanding thousands of troops. If the sword is heavy and the official is weak, it is advisable to have wealth to nourish the official or have the killer mixed with the official. The same applies to the great fortune. However, the sword does not like the official star appearing in the earthly branches to clash, which is a very bad omen, called "sword turning against the owner," and will result in death without a head. For example, if Jia uses Mao as the sword, it does not like You to clash with it. If Bing uses Wu as the sword, it does not like Zi to clash with it. The same applies to the yearly and great fortune cycles.

Also called body weak and wealth strong. In the four pillars of the birth chart, if the day stem's five elements are weak but the wealth is strong, and both the official and the additional wealth are strong, the day stem cannot withstand the strong wealth, making the wealth harmful. Like a three-year-old child trying to carry a hundred pounds, it is clearly impossible. Those with strong wealth and weak body, and if there are officials or killers in the chart, the wealth will nourish the officials or killers to attack the day stem, causing serious consequences. Most of them end up in debt. Or if there are injuries or food in the chart, which drain the day stem's energy and transfer it to the wealth, the consequences are even worse. To deal with strong wealth and weak body, it is beneficial to have siblings or relatives to support the body. When encountering siblings or relatives in the great fortune, it can lead to success. Or if there is an official star in the chart, it is also beneficial, but the siblings or relatives must control the wealth to protect the official star.

When the day stem is weak, it relies on the official or the additional seal to strengthen it. For the seal star to protect the body, it is forbidden for the wealth to weaken the seal, and it is favorable for the official or killer to nourish the seal. If the day stem is already strong, and there is a seal star to nourish it, or if there are too many seals to nourish the day stem, it is not favorable. Instead, it is preferable for the wealth to weaken the excess seals. The same applies to the yearly and great fortune cycles. If the official and the seal star nourish each other, it brings great wealth and status. If the chart has officials or killers attacking the day stem, it is necessary for the seal star to weaken the officials or killers and nourish the day stem, or if the day stem is strong and the seal is weak, it is favorable for the officials or killers to nourish the seal. There is a saying: "Officials nourish the seal, and the seal nourishes the body, leading to wealth and status." "The killer cannot be separated from the seal, and the seal cannot be separated from the killer. The killer and the seal nourish each other, leading to fame and success."

When the day stem is strong, the wealth is strong, and the official is weak, it is favorable for the wealth to nourish the official star as the essential element.
Official Star Guards Wealth:
If the wealth in the chart is taken by the siblings or relatives, it is favorable for the official or killer to eliminate the siblings or relatives so that the wealth can be enjoyed by the day stem. This is called the official star guarding wealth.

When the chart contains both official stars and seven killers, and the two form a faction to attack the day stem, it is extremely dangerous. If the day stem is strong and there are many siblings or relatives, it is favorable for the official and killer to mix. If the day stem is strong and there are many seals, it is not afraid of the official or killer. If the day stem is weak and the official and killer mix, it inevitably leads to poverty and low status. If the day stem is strong and the official and killer mix, it is preferable to remove the official and keep the killer, or remove the killer and keep the official, depending on the situation. In all cases of mixed official and killer, it is favorable for the seal star to transform the official and killer to nourish the day stem, and for the siblings or relatives to replace the day stem and bear the attack of the official or killer. If the day stem is not weak, it is favorable for the injury or food to control the power of the official or killer. If the day stem is weak, it is favorable for the seal star to transform the official or killer and nourish the day stem, and it is not favorable for the injury or food. It should be noted that if the day stem is weak and faces combined attacks, it is definitely a lower fate.

The official star is originally a lucky star, but things can reverse. If it is too strong, it turns into a killer. If the day stem is weak and there are many official stars attacking the day stem, this is not an official but actually a killer that attacks the body. Too many officials mean no official, just like the seven killer. It brings severe disasters, and the only way to avoid it is to have the seal star transform it. The greatest taboo is having wealth in the chart or encountering a wealth cycle, which will definitely bring great misfortune.

When the additional seal is too strong and attacks the food star, and the day stem is strong without any official or killer, it is favorable for the food star to drain the day stem's energy to achieve balance and bring blessings, but if there is an additional seal in the chart, it attacks the food star and makes the day stem even stronger, which is a bad omen. This is not only about the food star and the additional seal, but also about the injury star and the official star. In general, when using the injury or food to drain the essence, it is not favorable to see the seal star. If encountered, it is better for the wealth to weaken the official or additional seal.

If the chart uses the injury star as the essential element, or if the injury star is strong, it is not favorable to have the official star, since the injury star and the official star are in conflict. The consequences are unimaginable, and the same applies to the great fortune. All cases of the injury star meeting the official star are difficult to identify and will be discussed in detail later.

When the day stem is weak and there is a food star and a seven killer attacking the body, the killer is not favorable, but the food star can control the seven killer. Or if the day stem is strong and the seven killer is also strong, without any seal, the food star can control the seven killer and turn it into a power star. As an ancient poem says: "The seven killer, once controlled, becomes power; with ease, one rises to the clouds and becomes famous at a young age." This is not only applicable to the food star, but also to the injury star. The principle is the same. However, if the day stem is strong and the seven killer is weak, it cannot be controlled, and instead, it is better to have wealth and the seven killer to strengthen the seven killer. If the day stem is strong and the seven killer is also strong, it can be controlled, but not excessively. If the injury star is too strong and controls the seven killer too much, it becomes a bad omen and prevents success. If the day stem is weak and the seven killer is too strong, it cannot be controlled, and instead, it is better for the seal star to transform the seven killer and nourish the body.

When the day stem is strong and there is a sword in the chart, it is favorable to see the seven killer. This seven killer should not be controlled, and it is called the sword driving the killer, bringing military power and high status. If the seven killer is too strong, it is advisable to slightly control it, or have the seal star transform it. Controlling should be done through controlling cycles, not through seal cycles. Transforming should be done through seal cycles, not through wealth cycles. For those with the sword driving the killer in their fate, controlling the killer is better, and transforming the killer is not necessarily better.
