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?
If you're wondering whether a broken Yang Blade can become a proper one through cultivation or mentorship, my answer is both yes and no.
Roughly speaking, about 30% of people born with Yang Blade are proper.
About 30% are broken and diviated (移度), meaning they abandon the original Yang Blade mission and redirect their power toward fame or wealth. The remaining 40% are also broken, but don't meet the conditions to diviate—this is where you belong.
Depending on whom you meet, you can either shift into a diviated Yang Blade and live like a Bi-Jian type who seeks recognition or profit, or join a proper Yang Blade's group and assist their mission to turn the group into Pian Guan.
But as I said before, the path of a true Yang Blade is not one that just anyone can walk.
Even among those born with the proper structure, only about 1% ever complete the mission.
A symbolic example is Thích Quảng Đức, the Vietnamese monk who self-immolated. (We're not discussing his literal BaZi chart, only using his life as an example.)
He was born into a noble family, abandoned his privileged life, and became a monk. When the nation was collapsing under corruption, he sacrificed himself to awaken his people. His death sparked public outrage and ultimately contributed to the events that led to the Vietnam War. That is the scale of influence Yang Blade is originally meant to carry—one person’s sacrifice shaking the entire world.
So, yes, if you want to live as a proper Yang Blade, you must watch the people around you and learn from them because some of them are already practicing 殺印相生 (Sha–Yin Mutual Generation), which you asked me about.
I already explained the concept of 殺印相生 earlier, so I'll skip it. One page wouldn’t be enough if I went into full detail again. So, I’ll just apply it to your case. You have Shen Metal (申金) and Hai Water (亥水) in your Branches.
This means there are already people around you who are living by the rule of 殺印相生.
Examples of such people include:
A wife who works to support her sick husband.
A woman who endures an abusive marriage for the sake of her children.
Someone who works to support ill parents or siblings.
Someone who chooses the hard path, not for themselves, but for others.
Others may say, "They don't need to live like that," but they choose to because they prioritize others' well-being over their own.
If you observe those people closely, learn from them, and live the same way consistently for 20–30 years, that is how you become a proper Yang Blade.
A proper Yang Blade does not choose the easy road.
Even when comfort is available, they walk the thorn-covered path for the sake of the people around them, and they don’t even think of it as hard. That is the natural behavior of a Yang Blade with Seven Killings (偏官) on the Heavenly Stems.
