[decade luck]

i was wondering, what does the decade luck period mean? "luck with you" and "luck against you"? what does that depend on? i noticed that it has no relation to branches or stem relationships with the 4 pillars.

[Is my DM element weak?]

Hi Master,

I have been told that my DM element is weak, but your website says i am strong earth...someone explained that because mainly Iwas born in autumn.. what do you think of this? Here is my bazi, and below is his explanation:

http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u45/sassywf/linda.jpg

This chart belongs to the Hurting Officer structure (ShangGuan Ge). Born in the month of autumn, the metal is strong. For easy reference, the strength of each elements during autumn are as follow:

Metal (Prosperous), Wood (Dead), Water (Born), Fire (Trap) & Earth (Retreat)

Looking at each of the pillars:

Year: Bing fire sitting on Chen earth (water storage) - Bing fire is weak
Month: Ding fire sitting on You metal (strong metal) - Ding fire is weak
Day: Xu earth (DM) sitting on Chen earth - in the month of You metal, earth has retreated but the two earth are
supporting each other.
Hour: Jia wood sitting on Yin wood - in the month of You metal, wood is dead, but the two wood are
supporting each other.

For the day and hour pillars, we can also said that the Xu earth and Jia wood are rooted.

Looking at the EBs, the two Chen earth are producing the You metal, making the metal even stronger (note: to avoid confusion, I shall not go into whether the Chen-You combo will be successful or not).

Looking at the whole chart, the retreated earth elements are producing the already strong You metal, and thus, the earth elements are considered to be weak (i.e overly-exerted). Even though the earth can gain strength from the wood+fire (i.e. wood produces fire and fire produces earth), but the wood and fire are not strong either.

In this chart, we need wood and fire to curb the strength of the metal.

Which throws off everything that i believe from looking at your chart.

[Ten Deities Score For Bussines]

Hi Master Lee,

For example, the 4 things that you mentioned, my chart has the following:

Main Funds	zheng yin	Fire	2
Intelligence	shang guan	Metal	1
Competitor	jie cai	Earth	1
Unexpected Wealth	pian cai	Water	0
Determination	qi sha	Wood	3
Unexpected Funds	pian yin	Fire	2
Emotional Intelligence	shi shen	Metal	0
Friend	bi jian	Earth	4

Here is my husbands:

Ten Deities (English)	(chinese)	Element representation	Total
Earned Wealth	zheng cai	Water	1

Main Funds	zheng yin	Fire	2

would you say combined we have business luck? thanks.

[how to determine who is the breadwinner]

Hi Master Lee,
i would like to know how to determine who is the breadwinner in our marriage if both of us work. I read in some of your posts that the feng shui (direction of house, etc) should be favorable for the breadwinner, and also the luck will be directed more towards the breadwinner. Please help me with this question, thank you.

[Five Elementws Balance]

Hi Mr. Lee,

I had purchased the report and i have a question in the 5 elements distribution...seems like it changes every 10 years for me...for example for this current luck period i have this:

Water	Wood	Fire	Earth	Metal
32 %	32 %	8 %	12 %	13 %

but in my original it is this (i am strong earth)

(!-- --> Element Strength Percentage % Rating Recommendation

(!-- 1 Water Strong 12 % Acceptable (Increase Element) Have more of your Favourable Wealth Element -->

(!-- 3 Wood Extremely Weak 9 % Acceptable (Increase Element) Have more of your Favourable Element -->

(!-- 3 Fire Weakest 18 % Balance Enough -->

(!-- 3 Earth Weak 28 % Acceptable (Reduce Element) Have less of your Unfavourable Element -->

2 Metal Strongest 31 % Acceptable (Reduce Element)

Can you help me fine tune what my luck will be each year? for example this year is year of the fire dog. Does that mean that some fire and earth would be good for me since i have less than 20%? How do you use the original one versus the one that is in each luck period?

Thank you

[Help reading my BAZI Standard Report]

Thank you Mr Lee for your responses. I still dont quite understand how to balance our elements based on the report. For example, my reports says, that i have "12% water, 9% wood, 18% fire, 28% earth, 31% metal" and i am still considered a strong earth. Why is my favorable element metal if i already have 31%? isn't the goal to have about 20% of each element? Also, does that mean that if i am with a partner who is earth, it increases more earth, making my luck unfavorable?

Is it also favorable to be with friends who are favorable to you? like would weak wood or strong water be helpful to me? But should avoid strong fire, etc etc?

Also, i was looking at the luck periods for me and my husband. If in a certain year or 10 year period i have "luck against you" but he has "luck with you", does it affect your luck (help or ruin)?

SOrry if i am asking too many specific questions.
