Jia Wood Section · Five Elements: Favorable and Unfavorable, and Fate Analysis

1. Basic Temperament of Jia Wood

Jia Wood represents a towering tree; its character is upright, pure, benevolent, proud, and somewhat haughty. It is full of ideals and a pursuing spirit, with strong perseverance; once a goal is set, it is not easily altered.

Jia Wood enjoys helping others, but is prone to stubborn rigidity, appearing as "one-track minded." As a spiritual element, Jia Wood often carries idealistic and perfectionist tendencies, with very strong self-esteem, preferring not to bend, and not to yield even unto death.

2. Relationship of Jia Wood with the Ten Gods

Jia Wood meets Jia Wood (Bi Jian):
A sign of brothers aiding each other; easy to gain friends and peers' support, helpful for career and resource acquisition. But Bi Jian also governs competition for wealth; if excessive, disputes over money or relationships may arise. Those with strong Jia Wood are vigorous in life, straightforward in character, but not very tactful in handling matters.

Jia Wood meets Yi Wood (Rob Wealth):
Rob Wealth generally indicates waste or loss. When Yi Wood combines with Geng Metal, it weakens Jia Wood's noble aura; mild cases lead to financial loss, severe cases can harm health; health and financial risks should be guarded.

Jia Wood favors Bing Fire (Eating God):
Bing Fire is like sunshine; most beneficial for Jia Wood's growth. It can warm cold wood and help Jia Wood unfold, especially in winter-spring or in cycles of Bing Fire years and annual fortunes, wealth and career often improve noticeably.

Jia Wood meets Ding Fire (Hurting Officer):
Ding Fire is like cutting a large tree into firewood, weakening Jia Wood's ability to grow, easily damaging noble qi and blessing. Without Geng Metal restraining, the harm of Hurting Officer is even greater, mission goals may be repeated, and fortunes fluctuate.

Jia Wood meets Wu Earth (Partial Wealth):

Jia Wood is旺; most favorable to Geng Metal to cut (Seven Killings):
Geng Metal is like a knife or axe, cutting Jia Wood to become a pillar. When used effectively, it leads to great achievements after trials, but if Jia Wood is weak and Metal is strong, it becomes a dangerous omen.

Jia Wood meets Xin Metal (Direct Officer):
Xin Metal is gentle, like scissors pruning; it can remove withered branches and make Jia Wood upright, but it is difficult to achieve great wealth; more about norms, restraints, and order.

Jia Wood meets Ren Water (Indirect Resource):
Ren Water is water of rivers, nourishing Wood but unstable. Without Yin Wood taking root, one tends to drift with the waves, with many ideas but few actions, a life of wandering.
