Self Element & Season of Birth

[myfs_88162]

Hi Master Cecil,
I wish to find out can one be a strong metal person while the season of birth is at summer i.e. when metal is dormant and fire prosper? I have a metal EB on the day branch and one HS of earth on the hour branch, the others are mostly water element except one wood (HS).
Kindly advice.
Thank you.

Dear Low Low,
The problem here is Ba Zi analysis can be done on a basic level or on a comprehensive level.
In order to determine whether you are weak or strong many analysis has to be done.
1. Computing the number of elements broken down into the five element.
2. Assigning proper weightage to the element based on the Seasons of Birth.
3. Determining if there are any elements which combines and clashes to form certain elements.
4. Checking the House of Life and House of Conception influences on the five element distributions etc.
5. And a few more rulesets.
Only when you work out all these, can you determine properly whether an element is weak or strong.
Take this for example (not your chart but an example chart only)

Element Strength Percentage % Rating Recommendation

9 Water Strong 87 % Reduce Element Have A LOT less of your Most Unfavourable Element

1 Wood Extremely Weak 2 % Increase Element Have A LOT more of your Favourable Wealth Element

2 Fire Weakest 9 % Acceptable (Increase Element) Have more of your Favourable Element

0 Earth Weak 0 % Increase Element Have A LOT more of your Unfavourable Element

0 Metal Strongest 0 % Increase Element Have A LOT more of your Unfavourable Wealth Element

Until you have work out a chart similiar to this Overall Summary in the Paid Ba Zi report, you will not know why you are a weak or strong.
Generally, even if your birth element is weak, but if you have too much of it and supporting element compared to the unfavourable element, your chart will still be strong.
So I am personally not surprised to see a person born in the weak season to be finally determined as a Strong person. Basically the seasons of birth is only one aspect of the entire analysis.
