Please help me figure out the useful and taboo gods of this horoscope. February 17th of the lunar calendar in 1977 was the unitary hour.
The eight characters are:
Ding Si, Jia Chen, Ren Chen, Ji You
Ren is born in the month of Ku, which means he will have too much energy and will be weak. The god of joy, gold water.
The heavenly stems, Ding and Ren, combine and do not change, because Ding sits on Jie Cai and has its roots, and Ding Fire does not weaken and does not change.
Similarly, the self is combined but not transformed, and the Ji soil connects the two roots, and is strong but not transformed.
The same goes for the Earthly Branches Chen, You and Liuhe. You sit in the partial seal of Jitu, and the body is not strong.
The conditions for combining are: firstly, the two stems (earthly branches) originally involved in the combination are weak, and secondly, the five elements after the combination are strong. The above horoscopes do not have these conditions. It's like Ding Ren combined with chemical wood, but the wood in the game is not strong. Jia and Ji combine with earth. This seems to be true from the results, but the roots of Ji and earth are not weak. Earthly branch Chenyou combines with metal, but metal in the game is not strong either.
Therefore, the heavenly stems and earthly branches in this horoscope are just combined but not transformed.
The so-called common roots and roots (foundation) means that the corresponding heavenly stems and local branches have the same qi (including the remaining qi in the middle), or the earthly branches generate these five elements. For example, Ding Si, the Qi of both is fire. Ding fire has Si fire as its foundation, which is called Tonggen. Another example is Ding Mao. The Mao wood creates fire, which is also said to have roots.
As for the God of Joy, because the Sun Lord is weak, he likes life and support, so the natal person likes Metal and Water.
On the contrary, the five elements of the Sun Lord are taboo gods, and the natal taboo is earth, fire, and wood.
It is a bit more difficult to use God. According to many opinions, the word "Yong Shen" is chosen from the other seven characters besides the Sun Lord. It is not necessarily a character that will support the Sun Lord, but a certain character that can balance the horoscope. This is how I analyze it, and I may be using it wrongly. The moon stem Jia wood generates the year pillar fire, and the year pillar fire generates the moon and day branches when the dry earth is present. If the earth is abundant, it is appropriate to release the earthy energy. In this case, the unitary metal is considered, and the unitary metal is the seal of Renshui, and it can also be the lord of the birthday. Therefore, the meaning of this horoscope is You. This word is the main word for fortune telling.
