FREE Divination Request / Re: Will I be able to graduate in July without repeating my final college year?
« on: January 16, 2026, 03:45:09 PM »
I didn't go to a lot of the required labs and courses, and some professors require a redo of the labs and courses affiliated with their syllabus, and my college has a limit of exam credits for not repeating the year, which in this case is delaying the graduation thesis as well (which I haven't started).
I had a breakdown around October/November where I felt tired of everyone's demands, and wanted to dropout. Some professors wanted to help me, but I was constantly too tired. By the time my mental state has somewhat healed, the finals have already started and now it's too late. I will probably have to pay the remaining credits and/or having to redo the required labs next academic year, but I still have to take at least some of the exas before the summer finals.

From what I understand, in my case, if I'd mentor someone with a proper Yang Blade, especially someone who is metal dominant (or possibly fire dominant), would it improve my own Yang Blade?
Also, what does 殺印相生 represent?

One last question - how are the children and travel palaces? There wasn't any mention about them.

Going by that assumption, everyone that I've encountered and helped me grow has metal in some shape or form? Or is it something akin to what @eveereads mentioned earlier on the topic about Yi wood being Rob Wealth, thus being more competitive?

First 2 pics are my father's Bazi + LPs, and the latter 2 are my mom's bazi + LPs.
They both started their new Luck Pillars last year, for my dad Ji Hai and for my mom Yi Mao.

Also, may I ask how are LPs calculated? I've seen some charts starting the first LP at 7, some others at 2. How is the age of the first LP determined? And how are the stems determined as well? And last but not least, what are the specific calculations for male and female alike?

1. Since a Yin Day Master embodies Yin energy, the instinct for self-protection arises before the sense of duty or righteousness.
For a proper Yang Blade, the expected act is to step forward and take the blow first to protect others even at one's own cost.
But a Yin Day Master with the Yang Blade configuration will instinctively flinch and step back when danger occurs; they cannot move first. At that very moment, it is usually the Rob Wealth (劫財) beside them that rushes in to protect others. (And yet, when everything is over, it's the Yin Day Master who receives the praise because the Yin letter is what appears on the Heavenly Stem, visible to the world.)
@coldpillow @eveereads
So a broken Yang Blade might act like a Yin daymaster with a Yang Blade, or something different?
This is the only part that I'm familiar with.
Is it true that a male yin daymaster with blade structure will be "weaker" than females? I mean, he's surrounded by strong female figures: braver, smarter, more competent. And they're actually helpful to him.
Because rob wealth also represents people of the opposite gender.
I think it's especially true if the daymaster doesn't have self element anywhere else other than day stem.
@eveereads
Would the reverse be true for a female Yang daymaster?
In case you're confused, you also need to learn a bit about Hua stars (Lu, Quan, Ke, Ji).
To see where those stars are flying from one sector to another, use this calculator: https://zwds-calculator.com/chart?day=12&month=3&year=2003&h=22&m=00&gender=female
If you hover on Career and Friends sector, the Taiyang star in your wealth sector turns green (Lu) and blue (Quan). Yellow is Ke, Red is Ji.
@coldpillow
Yes, I was a bit confused about sihua, and what their role is. I thought that the order and placement of the transforming stars depends on the year stem, and not all stars can receive it. Do Hua stars create a relation of interdependence from a star to another?
And what does it mean to have self-Hua and Hua to opposite?

When examining the flow of the Luck Pillars, you should view it not through the Five Elements but from the perspective of the Four Seasons.
Among the Twelve Earthly Branches, the reason that the Earth branches—Chen (辰), Xu (戌), Chou (丑), and Wei (未)—exist is to connect the different seasons and mark their transitions.
For example, Wei Earth (未土) lies at the tail end of summer; it exists to organize and conclude the activity of summer and prepare for the transition into autumn.
Therefore, it should not be interpreted simply as the Earth element within the Five Elements system, but rather as a seasonal junction—a point of change and adjustment within the cyclical flow of time.
未月 (July) still is part of summer. (To the rest of the world, even 申月 [August] is considered summer.)
@eveereads
Thank you, I understand it better now.

I would like to focus on your parents because it's the most influential sector at the moment.
You have Zuofu star there. It's a nobleman (helper) star. That means you should try to improve your relationship with parents. Combined with bright Tian Liang in happiness palace, you have good luck with much older people.
Your wealth sector looks terrible with dim Taiyang, Lucun and Dikong. But this sector can be improved by career and friends sectors.
From my own interpretation, this means you should focus on building relationship/partnership/networking in your career. For example, you depend on a partnership to get better jobs, better clients, better source of income.
@coldpillow
That is certainly true, especially in recent years, I haven't succeeded in a lot of things on my own, I constantly had other people do things for me, not because I asked them to, but because they probably thought I couldn't do it and I'd slow them down. In fact, even one of the potential future jobs was actually brought on about by my mother at her job.
Career is also the property sector of your parents while Friends is the career sector of your parents. This means life will be easier if you can stay with your parents as long as possible and hopefully they never retire. ---> IMO, this is more realistic view now.
Well... they do kinda wanna retire after I'll be graduating next year (they gradually started being frustrated with me and wanted me to have left after graduating from high school) . And many of my peers already live in dorms or are tenants. (and I feel terrible for not living on my own too, but in a way I've been absolved of that kind of struggle).
I know it would've been hard for me, but I feel like I wouldn't have been able to get out of nasty situations.
Spouse sector looks supportive, just not financially.
His chart should be cold in metal and water, but metal is the dominant element.
Beware of red flags, his chart is probably different in structure and just as broken. You could find balance from each other, but it doesn't mean the relationship will be smooth sailing.
Does it have to be a broken Yang Blade or Jian Lu structure? Or just any broken structure? Would a functional structure cause disruption?
You can try looking at your father's and mother's chart too.
I don't know their birth hours, unfortunately.

Now I definitely can see Pig hour resonating!
I remember chatting with you on my first post about the health palace, and mentioning guidance from older people, or having an older spouse (if my memory serves me right), I might ask more questions about those.
From a ZWDS perspective, will the spouse be supportive? (a continuation of your question to @eveereads ) I read a lot of positive things.
And if the spouse will have fire and metal, will it help bring more balance to my broken structure?
Also, I'm kind of worried about the earth decade in ZWDS, the property palace stars don't seem very beneficial.

Thank you so much for the absolutely beautiful advice!
If I am not mistaken, inbetween the Fire and Metal decades there is also an Earth decade. Is it supposed to be more stable compared to Fire and Metal?

1. Biomedical Engineering. And I never had to pay tuition, but my parents had to pay for the times I failed some exams. I have tried getting jobs (mostly remote/part-time), but I didn't get in. I had the opportunity for an internship in the branch I like the most (medical imaging, and I didn't have a lot of competitors because it was more of an internship for med students, so they have a different criteria, but they wanted to take me in because I was passionate) which only required having a certain gpa, and I didn't have it. That's not even mentioning the internships organized by a pharmaceutical company and a device maintenance firm, but only a select few were accepted, possibly those who had the requirements they wanted(like it happens in almost every domain), and many of my other colleagues who are still better than me also didn't get in. Later on, the same pharmaceutical company organized courses, I wanted to go, but when I read about a selection, I just gave up.
I don't have much to write of in my CV besides my language skills, college. I was hoping to do a side-project so I could have something, but I am sure my colleagues will be taken for jobs, especially those who have 2-3 projects, an internship, volunteering, history of coordinating/leadership activities (like student associations), or a job history (which about half of students have). And technically, the easiest to get would be the volunteering, the job, and the projects, in hierarchical order.
2. I'd like an internship/project that would eventually set me up for a job (like the examples I've given previously), or an internship during the Master's degree I'd pursue (most probably radiology related), but the Master's degree is an issue of its own.
The first post that @eveereads made actually described me, I like self-development, I like to do most things alone, but with time, that backfires, and especially now I have to cooperate with people (which I am not so good at) and refurnish my own skills (which, hasn't been successful in a long time). It's easier for me to deal with people outside of professional structures. I generally get the feeling that while everyone that fits a standard definition of success, whether they've achieved it through conventional or alternative means, has worked a lot, in my case it seems it's either unluck or just the way I am (which is very slow, likes to do one thing at a time, focused), the opposite of what it's required today (being multi-tasking, fast-paced, learning new skills quickly, and having tids-and-bits of a personal life too - mostly in the context of mere socialization or teambuildings)
It's unfortunate I have a weak star in the year pillar, in a branch, plus broken structures. It's interesting since my changes and self-reflection are actually triggered by others, when they say something, I tend to ponder on it for a long time. The other situation is when I read pieces of philosophy and advice on the internet for example, and sometimes I happen to feel ... star-struck, even though I didn't necessarily need that advice at the time.
Thank you for the analysis you've both done. I'm curious about ZWDS, I personally relate to the chart that is respecting the birth time, not the solar one (since it's a few minutes before the hour change).
