BaZi: 用神 Useful God - 成败, Success Failure

This topic of ZPZQ discusses how to determine if a chart is successfully established or when it is not. This is one of the most important factors to know if the chart is good or bad.


Successful Structures

原文:用神专寻月令,以四柱配之,必有成败。
Useful God is seek only from the Month's decree and matches it with the 4 pillars, there would be success and failure.

何谓成?

What is considered successful?



like

官逢财印,又无刑冲破害,官格成也。

Officer meets Wealth and Seal, without Punishment, Clash, Breakage and Harm, Officer structure is successful (established).

财生官旺,或财逢食生而身强带比,或财格透印而位置妥贴,两不相克,财格成也。

Wealth engenders prosperous officer, or wealth engendered by Food, self is strong with Compare (Parallels), or Wealth structure with penetrating Seal that is in a good position which does not counter each other, Wealth structure is established.


印轻逢煞,或官印双全,或身印两旺而用食伤泄气,或印多逢财而财透根轻,印格成也。

Seal is light and meets Killing, or Officer and Seal are both complete, or Self and Seal are both prosperous with Food and Hurt exhausting Qi, or Many Seals meeting wealth and wealth is lightly rooted, Seal structure is established.

食神生财,或食带煞而无财,弃食就煞而透印,食格成也。

Food God engenders Wealth, or Food carries Devil without wealth, or abandon Food, follow Devil with penetrating Seal, Food structure is established.

身强七煞逢制,煞格成也。

Self is strong with 7K being countered, 7K structure is established

伤官生财,或伤官佩印而伤官旺,印有根,或伤官旺、身主弱而透煞印,或伤官带煞而无财,伤官格成也。

Hurting Officer engendering wealth, or HO adorned with Seal and HO is prosperous, Seal is rooted, or HO is prosperous, Self DM is weak and 7K penetrates with Seal, or HO carries 7K without Wealth, HO structure is established.

阳刃透官煞而露财印,不见伤官,阳刃格成也。

YangRen with penetrating Officer or 7K with exposed Wealth and Seal, not meeting HO, YR structure is established.

建禄月劫,透官而逢财印,透财而逢食伤,透煞而遇制伏,建禄月劫之格成也。

JianLu and YueJie, penetrating Officer meeting Wealth and Seal, penetrating Wealth and meets Food or Hurting Officer, penetrating Devil but is countered, JianLu /  YueJie structure is established.

Successful structure can be easily determined with the basic rules -


Benevolent Gods likes to be engendered and protected, which is used in the 'follow way'

Not Benevolent Gods likes to be controlled or transformed, which is used in the 'against way'

The Benevolent Gods are Officer, Wealth, Seal and Food.

The Not Benevolent Gods are Devil, Hurt, Owl and Blade

Officer for example, is a Benevolent God, so Officer likes to be engendered by Wealth and protected by Seal. Officer does not want to be hurt by Hurting Officer, or clashed, punished, harmed etc in the earthly branches


Devil (7K) is a not Benevolent God, so Devil likes to be controlled by Food and transformed by Seal, it is not favorable for the Devil to be engendered by Wealth. If Food is absent, Devil can be transformed by Seal, but if there's Food, and it penetrates, Seal could counter Food and save Devil which is inauspicious.


Failed structures

何谓败?
What is considered a failure?


官逢伤克刑冲,官格败也;

Officer meets harm, counter, punishment and clash, Officer structure fails.


财轻比重,财透七煞,财格败也;

Wealth is light and Compares are heavy, Wealth with penetrating 7K, Wealth structure fails.


印轻逢财,或身强印重而透煞,印格败也;

Seal is light and meets Wealth, or DM is strong, Seal is heavy and Devil penetrates, Seal structure fails.

食神逢枭,或生财露煞,食神格败也;

Food God meeting the Owl, or engendering wealth with revealed Devil, Food God structure fails.


七煞逢财无制,七煞格败也;

7K meeting wealth without control, 7K structure fails.


伤官非金水而见官,或生财而带煞,或佩印而伤轻身旺,伤官格败也;

Hurting Officer which is not Metal - Water meeting Officer, or engendering Wealth and carries Devil, or adorned with Seal with a light HO and prosperous Self, Hurting Officer structure fails.

阳刃无官煞,刃格败也;

YangRen structure without Officer or Devil, YangRen structure fails.


建禄月劫,无财官,透煞印,建禄月劫之格败也。

JianLu and YueJie structures, without Wealth nor Officer, with penetrating Devil and Seal, JianLu and YueJie structure fail.

When the benevolent Gods are countered and not benevolent Gods are engendered, result in Failed structure. 


One exception is Metal Water Hurting Officer structure i.e Metal born in Winter, as the odes say 金水伤官喜见官, Metal Water Hurting Officer likes to meet Officer, and the YHZP saying 伤官要伤尽, Hurting Officer wants to hurt completely. This structure indicates extraordinary intelligence. One of the reason why Metal Water HO structure wants to meet fire is because HO could engender wealth, which is wood for Metal but in Winter, frozen water does not support the growth of Wood, thus fire is needed to defrost the water.
