The relationship between inter-promotion and inter-restraint
Inter-promotion and inter-restraint among the five elements are in fact inseparable. Without promotion, nothing can grow and develop; without restraint, there will be no way to prevent harm caused by excessive development of things. Only when restraint exists in promotion and promotion in restraint can the normal development and harmonious balance of things be maintained.
Besides, inter-promotion and inter-restraint among the five elements restrict each other to avoid harm resulting from excessive promotion and over restraint.
For example, wood restrains earth, earth generates metal and metal, in turn, restrains wood. If wood is too powerful, it will over restrain earth and bring on harm. However, metal generated by earth can protect earth by restricting wood.
Again take wood for example. Only under the normal restraint of metal can wood generate fire. If wood excessively generates fire, fire will become superabundant and turn to restrain metal. Consequently metal will be weakened in restraining wood and wood will become feeble in generating fire.
In such a way automatic regulation within the five elements is realized through mutual restriction between inter-promotion and inter-restraint.

Hi Master Goh,
What if interpromotion and inter restrain involved only 3 elements in special charts? How do we interprete the missing 2 elements? Is it auspicious or otherwise, when the 2 missing elements come in Luck Pillar?
Thanks.
LadyGaga,
Regardless of the chart types (normal or special), any element(s) that is/are hurt would be considered as inauspicious.
If the missing element appears during the luck cycle, it subject to the clashes from the strong elements exists in the natal chart, care need to be taken to the health pertaining to the missing element.
Hi Master Goh,
Say strong Xin DM clashes Yi. Yi in Luck Pillar will be considered timely and strong right? In this clash of the Titans :)and if this DM is in business, does it mean he would lose money or able to make profit?
LadyGaga,
Based on the limited information given, I would deem Yi wood as a luck of wealth with fruitful return.
