Sickness (bing) is the chart's problem point. Medicine (yao) is the solution. Find the sickness to know the problem; find the medicine to know the way out. Core concepts, identification methods, and treatment principles.

The Single Wealth pattern — only one Wealth star pillar in the entire chart, clean and undiluted. The classics say 'one Wealth manages a thousand gold pieces.' Here's why concentration beats diversification in Bazi.

The annual Tai Sui is the highest authority governing your year. 'Suijun buke fan' doesn't mean you should fear an unfavorable annual branch — it means you can't actively resist the year's dominant energy flow. Here's how to handle it right.

When your Luck Cycle and the annual branch share the exact same Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch, it's called suiyun binglin — one of the highest-level event signals in Bazi. Here's the mechanism and how to judge it.

A combined Earthly Branch temporarily forgets what it was supposed to produce or overcome — this is tanhe wang shengke. Master this subtle mechanism and your annual-branch readings get way more precise.

A complete framework for reading Bazi through Wealth and Officer stars — real vs. false, favorable vs. hostile, and the four tiers of wealth acquisition. The method that covers the 80% of charts that don't form classical patterns.

Wangshuai is foundational but not sufficient. Four specific ways it fails — special patterns, climate blindness, coarse granularity, and Day-Master-centrism — and how to patch each one.

Wealth produces Officer, Officer produces Resource, Resource produces the Day Master — a perfect prosperity loop. When all three treasures are present and flowing forward, wealth, power, and wisdom compound automatically.

The Twelve Growth Stages (zhangsheng, muyu, guandai... jue, tai, yang) describe each stem's lifecycle state on each branch. Learn what each stage means and how to correctly use them for strength judgment.

Tian ke di chong is the extreme configuration where a Heavenly Stem gets overcome while its Earthly Branch gets clashed — a double-line attack. Here's the judgment method and severity grading.

Tiaohou yongshen regulates climate. Fuyi yongshen balances the Day Master. They serve different masters and follow different rules — conflating them produces nonsense readings.

Tonggen (通根) and Tougan (透干) are paired terms — a stem's power comes from its branch root; a branch's expression comes through its stem emergence. Think tree canopy and root system.

Tonggen (root access) and tougan (stem emergence) are foundational concepts. What's xu fu (insubstantial)? What happens when a Ten God has no root? Straight breakdown of four high-frequency terms.

A mountain of gold you're too weak to carry. Three subtypes of the Wealth-heavy weak-DM pattern — Follow-Wealth, stuck-in-the-middle, and wait-for-support. Plus how to actually break out.

Wealth breaking Resource in the year pillar means something completely different from Wealth breaking Resource in the hour pillar. A systematic guide to all six pillar combinations, three life stages, and nine severe consequences.

Wealth generating Officer means salary buys promotion (employee path). Wealth commanding Officer means capital controls authority (capitalist path). Same stars, different force ratio — completely different destiny.

Wealth counter-controlling Resource is called 'destroying the seal' — but destroying Resource isn't always bad. When Resource is Useful God, it's disaster. When Resource is Annoyance God, it's liberation. Two-sided judgment explained.

When the Wealth star connects directly to the Day Pillar without obstruction, wealth flows straight to your doorstep. Learn the three channels, blockage patterns, and how luck cycles affect the flow.

Too many Companion stars creates chaos. An Officer star organizes the mob into a disciplined team. This is the signature pattern of natural leaders — how it works, what breaks it, and how to use it.

Wangshuai says use A. Tiaohou says use B. A and B are enemies. What now? A systematic framework for resolving the most common yongshen conflict in Bazi — with priority rules and mediating strategies.
