Basic Knowledge 7: How to pick favor and foe (advance)

In fact, Picking favor and foe is harder than suppress the strong and help the weak. Even suppress the strong and help the weak is all we consider, there are still a lot more think about. Some may say: What is there to think about? Strength and Shield are strengthening, serve as favor to weak; Talent, Money and Authority are weakening, serve as favor for strong. It’s a no-brainer.

Let me give you a scenario: a person is an overall weak because he has too much Talent and Money. How do we pick favor and foe for him? Well, it depends. Is he have Shield as the main favor in the original structure, the favor could be: Shield and Authority. Authority should be the most powerful weakening character, but it could favor for overall weak, because it supports Shield which is an enhancing character. Strength doesn’t serve as favor because it supports Talent which is already too strong. Another scenario, Talent is a weakening character, but it can repress the power of Authority. For someone who is an overall weak for having too much Authority, Talent could serves as favor. In conclusion, picking favor and foe is not that easy, we always need to analyze the cases.

The Authority of an element can be turned to support the element by Shield, Talent can be used to suppress Authority. Money weakens the target code as well as its Shield. So the trick is: Money is always weakening. In the previous blog, I sad there are two characters on the opposite side of every character. The two characters are the Money and Authority of that character. If you are not sure about Authority, you can be sure about Money. It's like thing will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme. Then we don't go for extreme, we move back a little bit. Sunday is good, but the next day is Monday. So we actually like Friday and Saturday more.

How do we use the "always trust Money" rule? For example, someone's problem is having too much Money, so we need to repress the Money. The thing that overcome Money is Strength, but you are not sure about Strength, because it could be turned by Talent to support Money. What is the Money of Money? Shield, right? As the Money of Money, we can trust Shield to repress Money, because it can weaken Money anyway. Therefore, we trust Shield to be the favor.

There were actually different theories on how to do fortune tell in the ancient China. Now a day most people go with the balancing and yielding system. However, one ancient book recorded another rule: basically, Wood and Fire hot elements, Metal and Water cold elements; among Earth codes, (8) and (11) are dry Earth (contains Fire) and lean to hot, (2) and (5) are wet Earth (contains Water) and lean to cold. The rule is to balance the temperature: when your life code is too hot, you need Metal-Water; when your life code is too cold, you need Wood-Fire. In my opinion, this is pretty much another way to do the balancing. But it is worthy to learn, because it is an easy way to do things.

If we divide codes into Wood-Fire and Metal-Water, this is the way to do it: on the clock face, from (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8) are the Wood-Fire semicircle; (9), (10), (11), (12), (1), (2) are the Metal-Water semicircle. Just like in a northern hemisphere year, (3) to (8) months are spring and summer, (9) to (2) months are fall and winter. Therefore lots of people die when they stepping from (2) to (3) or (8) to (9), because they stepped to another semicircle.

For example:

Albert Einstein born 14 March 1879, 11:30 am

Rebel	Pirate		Owl
6	4	3	1
(4)	(4)	(9)	(7)
Owl	Owl	Gambler	Pirate

Albert Einstein’s fortune line

Comrade	Guardian	Owl	Judge	Slaughter	Collector	Gambler	Rebel
3	2	1	10	9	8	7	6
(3)	(2)	(1)	(12)	(11)	(10)	(9)	(8)
3	13	23	33	43	53	63	73
1881	1891	1901	1911	1921	1931	1941	1951

 Albert Einstein had too much Wood-Fire, or we can say he is too strong. Therefore Metal-Water serves as favor, or we say he had Talent and Money as favor, Authority didn't serve as favor because it would grow the strong Owl. His first fortune is (3) which is Wood, so he was a slow child, since the next fortune, he stepped into Metal-Water fortune, as we learned, from (2) to (9) is the Metal-Water semicircle. From (8), Fire was started to reborn, so he died in the (8) fortune. The actually year is 1955. 1955 is a 2(8) year. In another word, he died in the (8) year of the (8) fortune.
