Robbery of wealth

Now let's talk about the second of the Ten Gods, which is called "Rob Wealth". Both "Shoulder" and "Rob Wealth" are the same as the Day Master. When Jia sees Jia, it's "Shoulder", and when Jia sees Yi, it's "Rob Wealth".

The difference lies in yin and yang. The same gender is "Shoulder", and the opposite gender is "Rob Wealth". Jia, Bing, Wu, Geng, and Ren are yang, while Yi, Ding, Ji, Xin, and Gui are yin. When you hear the words "Shoulder" and "Rob Wealth", don't you think it means losing money? Because both "Shoulder" and "Rob Wealth" overcome wealth. However, it's completely different! So as long as we see your Bazi, we can know your personality and it even affects my attitude when talking to you.

If you have the Biji in your Bazi, it doesn't matter how I talk about it. For example, if I say he is very bad! He will just smile it off and won't care. It's completely different if you have the Jiecai. When the Jiecai is in the earthly branch, it's called the Yangren. We'll talk about this when discussing the Bazi patterns later. It's the Yangren in the earthly branch and the Jiecai in the heavenly stem. Well, both of them overcome wealth, so why are they completely different? Because their five - element natures are different.

The characteristic of the Biji is that it's of the same gender. What happens with the same gender? They repel each other! What about the opposite genders? As everyone knows, opposite genders attract each other. So who does he attract? People with the Biji dislike themselves, while people with the Jiecai like themselves! How do they like themselves? That is what I just said. People with the Biji in their Bazi, no matter what they do, will first think about whether they have made a mistake themselves. So, was it wrong for me to talk like that yesterday?

On the contrary to those with the "Rob Wealth" element, when getting along with anyone, unless you present evidence, he always thinks he is right! He will never doubt that he is wrong, as the power of the Five Elements and Yin - Yang is protecting him. Even for things decided yesterday, he will stick to them till the end.

This kind of attitude! Except for the principle of "opposite attraction" in Yin - Yang. When getting along with others, although he is a man, he is like a young lady meeting guests for the first time. There is a sense of wariness behind the politeness, always on guard against what you are up to. What's your intention in coming today? That kind of personality of his comes out. When there is no general conflict of interest, he is like a young lady in a male - dominated society, being polite to everyone and extremely sensitive. You may have met people like this.

There are ten types of gods, and each type has a different personality. Your personality determines your fortune, whether it is good or bad. So when I do fortune - telling for people with the "Rob Wealth" and those with the "Peer" in their Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny), my speaking attitudes are completely different. When doing fortune - telling for the latter, I can say whatever I want, but it's not the same for the former. There were also many people like this in the past, though it doesn't happen to me anymore. Because they said the wrong thing, and people would say, "What? I'm just taking it as a reference! I don't really believe in fortune - telling!" People like this are skeptical about everything.

Well, this is a bit abstract. When doing specific fortune - telling, we should talk about real things in people's lives. In the book A Summary of the Basics of Zi - Ping (page 124, 13th edition), there are nine special personality traits listed for the "Rob Wealth". First, there is a touch of arrogance beneath the show of modesty. They put on airs! They speak politely, saying "Please sit down and have some tea." Those with the "peer" element in their personality would never do that! They laugh and joke, treating you like one of their own when they come together with you. Beneath the modesty lies arrogance, and this arrogance means looking down on you! There is a sense of distance!

Article 2: Separate reason from sentiment. For example, a friend brings you a business card. The person on the card is also your friend, and he says he was introduced by so - and - so. If the person bringing the card has the Biji (Shoulder - Star) element in their BaZi, it's as if their real friend has come. They'll immediately invite the guest to sit down, offer tea, and have a jolly chat. However, if they have the JieCai (Rob Wealth) element, it's different. They'll say, "Oh! I see." Then they'll ask, "What's the matter?" If the matter is right, the friendship stands. But once they hear something amiss, the business card is useless.

Article 3: Start with details and then move to the overall picture. For example, a friend comes to talk to you and says he wants you to invest in a certain business. This person trusts his friend! He won't suspect that the friend is trying to deceive him. But he will still first ask, "How much investment is needed?" "Three million." Let me ask you! If I invest three million, how much can I earn? If you say he can earn one million, then he can listen to the details. If you say it's not certain. The more we earn, the more we all get; the less we earn, the less we all get. Then he won't talk further. He must first be guaranteed to make money, and then he will listen to the details. He won't say "Let's give it a try." Whether it's making money or losing money, I invest to make money. If you can't help me make money, what's the point of investing? This is his characteristic. Such a view of life!

Article 4: Don't indulge in empty talk. For example, if I say to someone, "Give me a discount! I'll introduce more customers to you in the future." It's useless to say such things to him. Empty talk doesn't work. "Thank you when I get rich!" Such words are of no use to him at all. Don't indulge in empty talk.

Article 5: Stick to it until the end. What does "stick to it until the end" mean? It means doing exactly as I initially told you. I remember something I read in the newspaper. A lady hired a carpenter to repair her door. In the end, the carpenter chopped the lady to death with an axe. It sounds illogical, but that's what happened. The lady told the carpenter how she wanted the door to be repaired, and the carpenter agreed. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't meet her expectations, so she refused to pay him! She said, "This isn't how we agreed it would be!" This can lead to big trouble. You should do things exactly as you promised at the beginning. I've also seen the daughter of one of my students. She had already sent out the wedding invitations, but she canceled the wedding on the big day. You promised to do something, but you didn't do it! An ordinary person might say, "Let's handle it after getting married!" But she wouldn't have it. Well, indeed, sometimes people send out invitations but don't show up. So, those with the "Rob Wealth" characteristic may exhibit such phenomena.

Article 6: One has ideals but lacks coordination. For example, if three of us cooperate to open a restaurant, and halfway through, they say, "Hey, how about each of us adding a bit more money for capital increase?" Then he refuses to do it. It's not about the money. It's about what we agreed on in the first place! He lacks coordination and haggles over trifles. Well, if your friend comes to dine at the restaurant, it's okay to give a discount once. But the second time, he'll start complaining, and it's the same for everyone. That's what it means by lacking coordination.

Article 7: Change positions at any time. When an opposite situation arises, he can suddenly change his mind. For example, the three of us, including you, are thinking about pooling 10 million each to do business together. We've all agreed on it, and the other person goes back to mortgage their house, but the contract hasn't been signed yet. The one with the "Rob Wealth" element comes back and says, "I'm not doing it." Well, that's okay too! As long as the contract hasn't been signed, he can back out at any time. If you've mortgaged your house or done other things, that's your business. He's making his own decision. Article 8: Respect reality and don't be afraid of others' idle gossip. We are all afraid of being gossiped about behind our backs, which makes us uncomfortable, but he isn't. He just does what he thinks is right, whether it's good or bad. He doesn't care what others say. He just acts as if nothing has happened.

Article 9: Showing no mercy. The last point is that this kind of person's character is such that they don't give others any face in important matters. The so - called important matters don't necessarily have to be earth - shattering events. As long as the parties involved think they are very important, when speaking, they don't consider others' feelings. Especially when there are third - parties present, they don't care about the issue of saving face for others.

For example, I've also seen a person who lent money to someone else and agreed on when to ask for it back. On that day, he went to ask for the money, and the borrower said they didn't have it and asked to do it another day. This kind of thing is quite common. However, the lender started cursing, saying things like "I was blind to lend you money" and so on, especially when there were other people around, without considering the borrower's face.

This also applies to couples. When a couple quarrels, they may bring up old grievances, which can lead to unexpected disasters. So, the aspect of "robbing wealth" is also very serious and quite unfavorable to them. These nine personality traits are sufficient to determine how a person will live their whole life. I believe that if I only talk about two of them. You've also met people with the "Bijiān" (Shoulder-to-Shoulder) and "Jiécái" (Robbing Wealth) elements in their Bazi. When a person with the "Bijiān" element incurs financial losses, it's in small, fragmented ways.

For example, if he has a thousand yuan on him and I ask him to lend me five hundred, he'll lend it to me. Even if he has no money himself, he'll borrow it to lend to me. But if I talk to him about something serious, like raising two million yuan to invest in a business, he won't do it. He's afraid of what will happen if he incurs losses. A person with the "Jiécái" element won't be like that. He dares to mortgage his house to finance a business deal because he believes he'll definitely make a profit.

Well, when we first hear about these nine traits, they don't sound very pleasant, do they? Actually, this kind of person is a good person, the best subordinate, but the worst boss. If you work for him, you're in for it. He'll scold you if you're two minutes late for punching in. If you use him to manage people, he'll be impartial and manage things very well. He doesn't break the law; he does everything according to the rules.

So, does that mean he's hard to be friends with? He's just too serious. In fact, a person with the "Jiécái" element has these nine personality traits. So, as I just mentioned, the key aspects of the Biji and Jiecai in fortune - telling generally focus on personality, wealth, and marriage. This is the common way of fortune - telling. But what if we do a more in - depth fortune - telling? The key points of Biji and Jiecai are not here. For example, we ordinary people are afraid of losing money. Those who earn a salary are worried about financial losses, and they're also afraid of divorce. However, for the ancient scholars, as the saying goes, "A real man need not worry about not having a wife. There are golden houses in books, and there are fair ladies in books." So, the so - called drawbacks of Biji and Jiecai don't exist for them at all. Marrying five or six wives or losing hundreds of millions of money means nothing to them.

The interpretation of Biji and Jiecai in the upper - class society is different. Biji and Jiecai belong to the same five - element as the Day Master. Biji and Jiecai can support the self. Since they are the same as the Day Master, they strengthen the self.

Here, the self refers to the Day Master, which means having a strong self in fortune - telling terms. In ancient times, what scholars were concerned about when discussing one's fortune was whether they had a future and whether they could pass the imperial examinations. This condition has nothing to do with losing wealth or having an adverse impact on one's wife. Therefore, having the "BiJian" and "JieCai" elements in the Bazi indicates a strong constitution and high aspirations! With very high aspirations. In a Bazi, there are only eight characters, and the elements with the same five - element as the Day Master are not just one character! So there is a tendency - I want to... You often hear many people say what they want to do, but whether they can achieve it is another matter. Some people simply don't want to do anything and have never thought about it.

They are spineless but live a peaceful life! So, in terms of outlook on life and future, those with "BiJian" and "JieCai" elements have ideals, but they may not succeed. Those without elements of the same five - element as the Day Master and without "JieCai" live a plain and ordinary life, which is what we mean by "peace is a blessing". So, who is better and who is worse? This depends on the criteria of those who discuss fortune - telling. For example, for a person whose eight characters of birth do not have the "Rob Wealth" element, including in the earthly branches, in the scope of career fortune - telling, we can tell him: It's better for you to work for others than to be your own boss.

He doesn't want to be a boss either and doesn't want to bother with such things. So the scope of fortune - telling is very broad, and we'll talk about more and more aspects later. The scope we've talked about regarding the "Peer" and "Rob Wealth" now concerns his personal character, not his future prospects, as well as his attitudes towards money and women. Well, the peer-to-peer element (Bijiān in Chinese, referring to a concept in traditional Chinese metaphysics) restrains wealth, and the resource-devouring element (Jiécái in Chinese) also restrains wealth. However, the ways they restrain wealth are completely different. The peer-to-peer element doesn't care about such things. For example, the views on divorce of people with the peer-to-peer element and those with the resource-devouring element are completely different. If a person with the peer-to-peer element gets divorced, he won't scold the other person. In fact, he might even say: It was a mistake for you to marry me. The idea of a person with the resource-devouring element is exactly the opposite. He would say: It's bad luck for me to have married you!

There is a big difference in their viewpoints. Well, when it comes to divorce, money is always involved, right? When a man with the peer-to-peer element gets divorced, he'll give you whatever money there is without hesitation. Those with the Rob Wealth element are not like that. They need to bargain and haggle over every detail. For example, if a man has hundreds of millions, he might only give you three million. He will haggle, and his way of handling divorce and his outlook on life are different. Well, the person with the Rob Wealth element is an ambitious person. Then, we need to see which pillar it is in. If the Rob Wealth is in the Month Pillar, for a male's Bazi, it means financial loss and harming his wife. What if the Rob Wealth sits on his own day stem? Well, this kind of situation should be measured by common sense.

By the age of 31 to 45, he probably already has a wife. Is it that easy to talk about divorce? That is what we often see - they don't get divorced, but the two of them are like enemies. In terms of the time, the influence of the "Rob Wealth" in the Bazi is almost the same as that of the "Shoulder Peer". After the age of fifty or sixty, people rarely talk about husband - wife matters. I just told him not to make random investments. Well, here! Financial losses can also be divided according to human relationships. I only told him not to make random investments. Will he still suffer financial losses? He will still lose money. His money is taken away by his wife or children, and this is his own situation.

Well, this is about the similarities and differences in financial losses between "Shoulder Peer" and "Rob Wealth". As for the relationship between husband and wife, the difference is huge. A person with the "Shoulder Peer" influence is willing to admit his own mistakes first. He believes that my money is your money, it's just a matter of whether it's placed with me or with you! If his wife squanders his money, he thinks it doesn't matter, just like he spent it himself. However, it's different with the "Rob Wealth" element.

For those with the "Rob Wealth" element, the relationship between husband and wife is completely different from that of those with the "Shoulder-to-Shoulder" element. It's a situation where, without a legal consensus, yours is yours and mine is mine. For example, we often see in society that many husbands hand over money to their wives. Of course, it's not just 30,000 or 20,000 yuan, but one million or five million yuan! What does the wife say? She says, "This five million is mine. It's true that you gave it to me, but now it's mine. When you ask me to take it out, it's me taking it out. It's no longer your money." She has such a clear distinction! The second situation is rather confusing. For instance, the wife pays the down payment for the house, and the husband pays the monthly mortgage.

So, whose house is it? There's also a third situation. This woman has an innate view of her husband. No matter what, she thinks her husband's opinions are not as good as hers. I often hear women say, "If he had listened to me, he would have made a fortune long ago. He never listens to me." An obvious attitude of looking down on their husbands is revealed. Sometimes, a wife would invite me to check the feng shui of her house. Then I'd ask her, "Do you want to consult your husband?" She'd reply, "Don't bother him!" There's a distinct sense of looking down on her husband. That's not all. She'd decide on something on her own, even though she knew her husband would definitely oppose it, yet she'd still go ahead.

I've witnessed with my own eyes a wife mortgaging the house to do business without her husband's knowledge! Therefore, in the relationship between husband and wife, the difference between "robbing wealth" and "peer support" is huge. Then there is the personality of those with the "Rob Wealth" element in their Bazi - they can't stand to lose. The first sentence you say must be a nice one. You can say all the negative things later. If you start with something negative, they'll use sarcasm on you. When I was young and naive, I used to speak bluntly. As a result, he asked me, "Is my fate really that bad?" This made the atmosphere very awkward.

For women with the "Rob Wealth" element when choosing a man, it's not about money. She has to truly admire you from the bottom of her heart. With such high - standards, of course, there are men she admires. But most of these men are already married! She'd rather be the other woman than be with a man on the same level as her. She won't settle for that. Sometimes when a young lady comes back from a blind date, I'll ask her, "How was it this time?" And what does she say? "Humph! Just a little boy." In fact, the guy isn't a little boy at all. She just sees him that way. On the contrary, if she can't find a good man, she still wants to get married. She'd rather marry a younger man and take care of him. It becomes two extremes: the wife is like a general manager, while the husband goes to work in the factory.

Well, for the last point, such people dare to love and hate. For example, generally, when a couple gets divorced, they still save face for each other. But he doesn't! As long as the person is mentioned, he can say both good and bad things about that person. So, when it comes to the comparison between the Rob Wealth and the Peer, the essence of losing money is the same, but the details are quite different. Well, when we do fortune - telling, no matter what kind of horoscope she has, we should stand on her side and serve her. So, how should we give advice for such a horoscope? Of course, we should say nice things like "You have the fortune to assist your husband." That's right!

For this kind of Bazi (Eight Characters in Chinese astrology), apart from discussing theories, we know that just talking about theories can't be used for fortune - telling. According to what I just said, if you just read those words to people, they won't want to listen! You need to repackage it. For example, you can say that you have the fortune to help your husband, but there are several things to pay attention to, which are written below: For people with a strong influence of the Rob Wealth element, the first piece of advice is that they'd better be bosses and never cooperate with others. Why? You're destined to be a boss.

Well, this is just a polite way of putting it! Given his personality, who can he cooperate with? It's impossible for him to carry on a cooperation! So, all cooperation matters will end up with a start but no finish. If he tells me that he's opening a company with a friend, according to my judgment, it'll last at most three years. This isn't fortune - telling; it's based on his personality. So, he must never cooperate. Even if he wants to set up a street stall, he should do it alone. This is the best advice for him! Between husband and wife, we always advise that they should each keep their own property and not combine them. This is the case with the personality trait associated with the "Rob Wealth" element. Similarly, the "Rob Wealth" element has its own characteristics. If it appears in the year column, it may lead to the loss of family wealth; if it appears in the hour column, it may cause problems in the relationship with the spouse.

The only difference lies in the way of causing damage. The "Peer" element is like a tree slowly falling, while the "Rob Wealth" element is like an earthquake that makes a house collapse suddenly. That's the difference. People with the "Peer" element are willing to admit defeat, while those with the "Rob Wealth" element are not. Have you all felt this? There are only ten elements in total. Once you understand all ten, you can draw about 60% of a person's overall profile. However, you can't discuss the details or the annual fortune.

Generally, we divide the years into periods of 15 years. If an element appears in the year column, it is related to the situation around the age of 15; if it appears in the month column, it is related to the situation around the age of 30. So, for those whose eight - character horoscopes have the "Peer" or "Rob Wealth" elements, there are few good things and many bad things. Especially for couples, it is most feared that these two elements appear in the year or month columns. Well, that's all for this part.
