How Annual Fortune Good or Bad Is Decided
How to Read a Year's Good or Bad Fortune
When the year's stem and branch join the chart, good or bad depends on what they do to the favorable and unfavorable gods. Favorable gods that gain support or get combined bring good fortune; unfavorable gods that are controlled, drained, or clashed also bring good. The reverse holds: favorable gods harmed or pinned bring bad fortune, and unfavorable gods strengthened or rooted bring bad. Settle what is favorable and unfavorable first, then weigh the year's stem and branch and its combinations and clashes.
Settle favorable and unfavorable first, then judge good or bad — a year's fortune all depends on what it moves.
