Asset as appetite or feeding in matters of illness

[Sacrar]

Hi all,

In matters of health/illness the Wife/wealth (Asset) is said to represent either "appetite" or "nourishment/feeding/food". Of course in some cases it represents other things such as medical expenses.

But taking Asset as appetite or nourishment, how do you resolve the contradiction of nourishment generating/producing the Officer (the Ji Shen)? The Asset is the Chou Shen. Nourishment is very important in the sick person, because the illness puts a strain on the patient's biochemistry, and proper nourishment is necessary to support the basal energy expenditure, and thus be able to create adequate defences (inmune system) and healing (aspects covered in the kins Sibling and Offspring).

just wondering...

Can't set both. Set 1 focus there and the rest realigns. If you don't set anything on Officer, then Officer becomes the medical doctor there, or something else...

As logically Officer can be many things. And they contradict. Strong medical doctor and personal there - good for health. Strong illness - bad for health etc. Can't be all, up to us where our Focus will be chosen initially.

Overall, for the relations we set something(1) and all the others realign. Next thing we set have to be either somewhere else(animals OR line positions or Self/Other etc.) or it has to be coherent with the realigning that what we set initially will have.

In this case if Asset is appetite, then Officer can be your resolve and strength to handle the situation. Less appetite - weaker you are and can't cope. So setting it like this you set focus first then align the rest of the relations to it.

Hey Sacrar, Gmuli, All,

I guess another way to view things;
What feeds and nourishes the disease (JiShen) is the Chou Shen.
What assist the healing process (like medicine, proper foods) is the Yuan Shen.

If Officer or Other is Ji Shen, then Wealth yao or what grows Other is Chou Shen.
If Offspring or Self is Yong Shen, then Sibling or what grows Self is Yuan Shen.

If the illness is obesity, appetite and improper foods can be Chou Shen.
Appropriate diet and lifestyle may be Yuan Shen.
If illness is obesity and we represent illness as the Officer yao,
The wealth yao represents what grows or nourishes the excess weight condition.
It could be excess appetite, poor lifestyle choices, genetic etc...
Weight loss may be represented by Offspring yao.
What assist the cure, the weight loss process can be represented by the Sibling yao.
That may be appropriate diet & exercise, specific medication, etc.
Sibling yao can also represent helpful people, family, peers, support groups that assist weight loss procibbsess.
