• Bing-Ren Clash: Fierce Fire Against Flooding Water — and How to Resolve It

  The Bing-Ren clash is one of the four Heavenly Stem clashes. Bing is yang fire, the fire of the sun; Ren is yang water, the water of rivers and seas. Yang fire hits yang water and the two churn, signaling change, movement, and competition. This guide explains the five-element nature of the clash, who is hurt and who gains, what it means in each of the four pillars, how it relates to your favorable element, and how to resolve it through Wood and through combination. See Bing and Ren in a chart, judge strength first, then judge fortune.
