The five elements deficiency of a person with the metal element (Jin Ming) needs to be determined based on their specific birth chart (Ba Zi), not just by looking at the "Nayin" (Yin) element. For example, a person born in 1971 with the "Chai Chuan Jin" (Brocade Gold) in the "Nayin" system must analyze the five elements in their Ba Zi to determine what is missing and then find ways to compensate.
What are the Five Elements Deficiencies for Jin Ming People?
Jin Ming can be classified into two types: “Nayin Jin Ming” and “Day Stem is Jin.” The methods for determining the deficiencies differ between these two categories. Nayin Jin Ming is like “a large environment with a metallic sheen,” while Day Stem is Jin refers to “one's own metallic characteristics.”Determining Five Elements Deficiencies for Nayin Jin Ming
Nayin Jin Ming includes types such as “Hai Zhong Jin (Sea Gold), Jian Feng Jin (Sword Gold), Bai La Jin (Wax Gold), Jin Bo Jin (Gilded Gold), and Chai Chuan Jin (Brocade Gold).” Taking “Chai Chuan Jin” as an example, it is like delicate jewelry that, although beautiful, requires a specific environment to maintain its luster. It cannot be assumed that someone with a Jin Ming is not deficient in Jin simply because they are a Jin type. A comprehensive analysis of the entire Ba Zi is necessary.
If a person is born in a season where fire is strong (summer, when fire overcomes Jin), or if there is a lot of fire in their Ba Zi, the Jin may be weakened, similar to “gold being melted in fire”, which could indicate a deficiency in Jin. If born in a season where earth is strong (late summer), earth generates Jin, so the Jin energy might be sufficient and not deficient.
However, for a precise determination, one must look at the combination of the stems and branches in the Ba Zi. For example, if the day pillar is Xin Hai, where Xin Jin represents the person's own Jin, and other pillars have a lot of water, the Jin will be drained by the water, possibly indicating a deficiency in Jin, much like “water continuously taking away the energy of gold.”
Determining Five Elements Deficiencies for Day Stem is Jin
For people whose day stem is Jin, such as Geng Jin (Hard Steel) or Xin Jin (Lustrous Jade), the method of determining deficiencies is different. Geng Jin is like “hard steel,” while Xin Jin is like “smooth jade.”
To determine the deficiency, first examine the relationship between the day stem and other stems and branches. If the day stem is Geng Jin and there are many wood elements around, the Jin will be weakened by the wood, like “an axe cutting wood, wearing down the axe,” which could indicate a deficiency in Jin.
If there are many fire elements, fire will weaken the Jin, making it more likely to be deficient. Additionally, since Jin generates water, if water is abundant, excessive generation of water may weaken the Jin, like “metal corroded by prolonged exposure to water.”
For example, if the day pillar is Xin Wu, where Xin Jin is the day stem, and Wu Earth contains wood elements, the wood may weaken the Jin. If other pillars also contain a lot of wood, this could lead to a deficiency in Jin.
What is Missing for Those Born in 1971 with Chai Chuan Jin?
Those born in 1971 in the Xin Hai year have the “Chai Chuan Jin” (Brocade Gold) in the “Nayin” system. To know what is missing for such individuals, a detailed analysis of their Ba Zi is required.Basic Characteristics of Xin Hai Chai Chuan Jin
Xin Hai Chai Chuan Jin has a Jin energy that is refined and precious, like a delicate brocade. In Xin Hai, Xin Jin is the main component of Chai Chuan Jin, while Hai Water is the source of Jin. Water can moisten Jin, giving it more luster, like “clean water washing gold, making it shine brightly.” However, Chai Chuan Jin is afraid of fire, which can weaken the Jin, similar to “gold being scorched by fire, becoming dull.”
Determining Five Elements Deficiencies Based on the Ba Zi
If a person was born in spring (a season where wood is strong), wood generates fire, which then weakens Jin, leading to a significant deficiency in Jin.
For example, if the Ba Zi is Xin Hai, Xin Mao, Geng Yin, Ji Mao, with many wood elements in the stems and branches, the wood generates fire, which then weakens Jin, like “wood fueling fire that burns gold,” possibly indicating a deficiency in water as well (since Jin generates water, and weak Jin may not generate enough water).
If born in summer (a season where fire is strong), fire weakens Jin even more, and the excessive fire may also weaken the water needed to support Jin, causing a deficiency in both Jin and water, like “intense fire burning gold and evaporating the water.”
If born in winter (a season where water is strong), the excess water may weaken the Jin by draining its energy, leading to a possible deficiency in Jin. If the Ba Zi has a lot of earth, the earth may weaken the water, preventing it from nourishing the wood, which could result in a deficiency in both Jin and wood, like “earth damming the water, preventing it from nourishing the wood.”
Q: What is the best way to supplement Jin for a person who is deficient in Jin?
A: Wearing gold jewelry is ideal, as gold is yellow and belongs to the Jin element, acting like a “small gold vault” to directly supplement Jin. Silver jewelry is also good, as silver is white and belongs to the Jin element, carrying a cool Jin energy, such as silver bracelets or necklaces. White gemstones like white crystal and chalcedony also belong to the Jin element. Wearing them as pendants or bracelets can provide a gentle energy to balance the instability caused by Jin deficiency, like “injecting a cool Jin flow into the aura.”
Q: How can someone born in 1971 with Chai Chuan Jin supplement Fire if they are deficient in Fire?
A: Adding characters related to Fire in the name, such as “Cang (glowing), Yan (flame), Ling (spirit)”, is like “adding a little fire to fate.” Wearing red or purple clothes, which belong to the Fire element, is like dressing the body in a “fire coat.” In the living environment, placing red decorations (like red lanterns) in the southern direction (Fire position) or using electronic devices (which are mostly related to Fire) can help supplement Fire. Eating red foods like red dates and red beans can also help supplement Fire internally, like “adding fuel to the body.”
