Domineering Chart Style

The unique feature of this kind of four-pillar chart is the unrestrained strong dominance of another element that is similar to the day master. Therefore, the day master will become exceedingly powerful as a result.

In other words, Domineering Chart Style relates to the solo supremacy of the element of the day master.

There are five domineering chart styles altogether as there are only five elements, namely, Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth.

Metal Domineering Chart Style (从革格)

= Solo dominance of Metal that is not checked by other elements.

Water Domineering Chart Style (润下格)

= Solo dominance of Water that is not checked by other elements

Wood Domineering Chart Style (曲直格)

= Solo dominance of Wood that is not checked by other elements

Fire Domineering Chart Style (炎上格)

= Solo dominance of Fire that is not checked by other elements

Earth Domineering Chart Style (稼穑格)

= Solo dominance of Earth that is not checked by other elements

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

Bazi Daily - 08/07/2010

The opposite of Domineering Chart Pattern is Passive Chart Style.

Passive chart style connotes the idea of submission. Since the day master is extremely weak in the eight characters, he has to yield to the dominant energy of his four-pillar chart to get by.


There are three passive chart styles, namely :-

= Wealth Submissive Chart Style (从财格);
= Authority Submissive Chart Style (从官杀格) ; and
= Output Submissive Chart Style (从儿格).

Characteristics of Amiable Chart Style (建禄格):


The individual is full of confidence about life and has his own opinions as well as ideas.

With firm beliefs, he stays focused to achieve his goals through sheer diligence. He is a hard person to persuade or influence too due to his strong sense of pride. Thus he will not surrender or give in unless the other party proves to be more capable.


Characteristics of Aggressive Chart Style (羊刃格):


The individual is determined. He is highly competitive and does not concede defeat readily.

Tough and decisive, his combative spirit gives him a proud aura. He is flexible and opportunistic. Nonetheless, his contradictory behaviour and lack of emotional control can offend others easily.

Today, I shall explore you with the steps of identifying Chart Types.


Guiding principle of establishing Common Chart Pattern

Common chart patterns are based on the derivation of the prevailing ten deities, through the observation of the covert stems (main and residual energies) within the month earthly branch, and after which aptly named accordingly.

Below are several factors to consider before deciding on the chart pattern:

a. The creative or destructive relationship, between the day stem and the main covert stem within the month earthly branch that corresponds with the year stem, month stem or hour stem, will establish the chart pattern.

b. If the main covert stem within the month earthly branch does not coincide with the year stem, month stem or hour stem, then the next step to do is to check for any corresponding residual energies. Thereafter, the creative or destructive relationship between the day stem and the residual covert energy of the month branch will establish the chart pattern.

c. If both the main and residual energies within the month earthly branch do not correspond with the year stem, month stem or hour stem, the most prominent covert stem shall be selected and compared with the day stem to establish a chart pattern.

What is a Chart Pattern?


I have jumped the queue to discuss the purpose of identifying Chart Pattern on yesterday posting.   For those that have never heard of the term ~ Chart Pattern, you maybe wondering what it is?

Essentially, a chart pattern illustrates the principal feature of a set of eight characters. The precise and accurate recognition of this main feature can accelerate the comprehension of the four-pillar chart.


Readers may have to take note that the four pillars may be a simple configuration but it can spin off over five hundred thousand combinations.  Ancestors had categorised them into various chart patterns according to their characteristics and prevailing elements.

For your information, Chart patterns can be divided into 2 general groups?  Want to make a guess?

I have covered the subject of Compound Stars, now I shall proceed with the subject of Chart Pattern (格局).

We have heard of the term Chart Pattern, but what is it all about?  What is the purpose of defining or categorizing a chart?
In the retail market, every product has its own unique trademark and design to distinguish it from others. In fact, functions and features are immediately identified with certain brand names.


A Bazi Chart is just like a product, has its own unique feature that is different from other charts.  By categorizing or assigning a name to it (based on certain set of guidelines), we should be able to tell something about the chart. 

Put it simply, the Chart Pattern is to define & to show the unique features of the chart.  Hence, facilitating the process analysis.
