Overview
- Destruction with hour (children) can represent abortions, miscarriages, and very difficult life with children.
- Begin with the strength of the day master before going into the rest of it. Look at the strength of the day master and the season to gauge how strong the destruction will be.
- An unrooted day master will be far more affected than it normally should be
- With a rooted day master a destruction will not be too strong
- A clash deals with animals across from each other, destructions are 90 degrees. A clash is direct (clashes in or out, heads on accident), destructions blindside (like being hit from the side, more building up).
- Clashes are stronger than destructions, but destructions can be more dangerous. Clashes are fast, they happen fast. Clashes are easier to cure. Destructions are harder to cure, especially in the natal chart as it represents the person’s psychology.
- Destructions are mutual, so mutual interference. A clash is more like an enemy, an attacker vs defender. The hidden branches in the destructions struggle with one another.
- The peach blossom is the most intense, the growth is the least intense. The graveyard is the weakest, it releases energy.
- If it’s in the natal chart, it’s a part of their personality. If it’s side by side, the destructive force is very strong.
- A destruction is a sense of being pushed upon you, pushed, being in a corner.
- Destructions usually mean addiction, tends to linger for a long time.
Side notes
- For people who are not rooted, elements affect them more.
- People with resources live longer. People without resource have a harder time, because the combinations come more frequently and can be clashed/combined/destroyed away.
- 7k can represent trouble with the law
Apparently hidden stems can clash across pillars????
Ungrateful Punishment
- Avoid traveling. Usually affects traffic accidents.
- Bing fire often means planes, so can be plane crash.
- All the elements are fighting for control: fire, metal, and wood.
Growth Branch
- Destructions are weak on a growth, because it’s only at the beginning (infant) chi, so it’s not very strong. It hasn’t blossomed yet.
- Growth branches are about career and making important decisions in life.
- Destruction/combinations often mean bad decisions and bad choices (when going from good to bad or bad to good), especially if in the natal chart. This is harder to overcome if it appears in the natal chart, as there’s an attraction to elements that destroy each other. (If in the natal chart, this person shouldn’t be making decisions.)
- If they combine, they don’t destruct.
- CURE: seek a mentor or noble person to give good advice for all major life decisions.
Peach Blossom
Peach blossoms are about relationships. Ideally, we would have only one peach blossom. Any more causes a lot of personal problems. It makes people attractive.
Rat/rooster gives them ADHD (his theory)? Mental issues and depression. Strongest/most potent, especially when the water element is very strong. Very sensitive to negative words, suicidal, feeling outcast.
Horse/rabbit, has to do with breach of trust, often sexual.
Rabbit represents male sexual organ, it’s the closest representation (think playboy). Rooster represents the female sexual organ—shiny, feminine and attractive.
Rabbit/rooster clash often represents rape.
Destruction with hour (children) can represent abortions, miscarriages, and very difficult life with children.
Graveyard
Hidden destruction, the hidden elements. They’re very slow and usually lingering problems. Look to the 10 gods to figure out what kind of destruction, they’re really important to the graveyard.
Slower to be seen, releases when there’s a clash
If you see more than one graveyard, problem. It’s punishment, clash, or destruction.
