My opinion is it's a very weak chart. It looks like a follow chart because there are no lifelines, but the wood in the hour fights with the earth in the chart, which gives the DM space to breathe.

The conditions in the 渊海子平 for a follow the leader structure is:

且如⼄⽇，⽀⻅⺒⾣丑，⾦局⼤胜⼜⽆制杀，⾝主⽆⽓，只得舍 ⾝⽽从之。

It uses the example of an Yi Wood DM, but the principle for follow the leader is no lifelines and no control on the killings (⽆制杀). Wood controls earth, and it's strong, rooted wood in his hour pillar.

For his particular DM + Hour pillar, the 三命通会 indicates the wood is what makes his chart destined for status and authority in favourable pillars.

癸未日甲寅时，主秀实，中年贵显。若生己未己巳年月， 武贵

"A Gui Wei Day born in the Jia Yin Hour indicates someone who is exceptionally talented yet practical, achieving nobility and prominence in middle age. If born in the Year and Month of Ji Wei and Ji Si, martial nobility."

有庚申戊己 字，无制伏，不贵

"If there is Geng, Shen, Wu, Ji without control, not noble"

The 三命通会 isn't always accurate because the annex tends to analyze mainly the day and hour pillars only, but am curious if this chart holder is in the military or a related branch of the civil service?

But ultimately it's the life experience that proves the structure. How was the Jia Zi pillar for him? Was it better than the Ding Mao and Bing Yin pillars, or did he have a good career in his 20s/30s and now experiencing problems?

Thank you for input. High HO people try not to be working under others. Instead, be own boss or self employed. Which I intend to do so soon.

Last year was yi si year, the si snake clashes with the hai pig in your luck pillar. <-- when did I have Hai pig in my luck pillar?

Oh I apologize, I accidentally input female in the calculator instead of male, so it calculated the female luck pillars instead. That's why I suggested finding ways to thrive in a job rather than start your own business, even with a strong HO.

This completely changes my interpretation. Yes, the next 2 decades should be among the best in your life and are very good for doing business. Best of luck with whatever you do! 

No worries. My bad too. Did not really specific that its a male gender. Too rely on the zwds screenshot.
This is alight with my palm reading from two masters. I guess have to encounter bottom rock first den gain some luck.

Thanks for your input npc. Yes, the male chart DM depends on whether you correct the hour pillar or not. IF Xin DM, then Mao is indirect wealth.

I'm not ever predicting parent's death to the children, this is purely a theoretical contemplation. These are my own children. And yes indeed, my daughter is a weak DM's with both possible hour pillars, so I'm guessing she will need elemental help from luck pillars to handle her wealth. My son is a balanced DM if he's considered Xin chart - but otherwise a weak DM.

To determine the proper hour pillar then requires the location of birth, but understand if you don't wish to give that info out.

Assuming your son is the Xin chart, I would still consider it weak. He is born out of season and his metal doesn't have a root. At first glance, it does look like the sheer amount of earth should strengthen the dm, but it creates the issue of 土重金埋 (too much earth buries the metal) instead. 

What this means is despite being a weak chart, 2 of his 3 favourable elements are similar to a strong chart - Wood to break up the earth burying his metal, and water to wash the Xin metal/jewelry. Metal is a good supporting element that gives his Xin metal the strength to dig out of the earth.

The reason to possibly look at it as a weak chart requiring "medicine" that's different from the standard prescription of resource/peer elements is that the psychology of a weak dm is different from a strong dm, so how they manage issues is different.

Does he achieve his best results when resources are provided for him, or does he step up and truly show his power when he is forced to figure things out entirely on his own?

Does he thrive and become highly disciplined when placed under strict rules and authority figures? Or does pressure and strict authority cause him to withdraw and lose his motivation?

I'm seeking help to read this male chart born in Singapore in 1979, born 3.18am.

He is 47 (48 in Lunar age) this year and when he enters his 癸亥 luck pillar, he will be 53 and that year will be the  壬子 2032 year.

I was told that this is a Follow The Leader chart and am worried that 2032 will be a very challenging year for him as it all water and he will enter his 10 years water lucky cycle.

Can someone help to read without AI? Greatly appreciate any advise to help mitigate the upcoming challenges.

If ding mao bing yin good and half till 30 food than in water lp s he will falii in termn of carrer month pillars,money si,health and mental heakth the chart like more fire earth.
