@haha25 ,
But, according to you, will he meet a girl in 2024?
I mean if the month supports his metal?
According to Five Elements School, monthly pillar can only interact with annual pillar.
And the monthly-annual interaction resolves before the natal+luck pillar+annual pillar calculation.
So the only way metal can be boosted in 2024 is if a monthly pillar affects the annual pillar and later on leads to an increase in metal energy.
For this to happen, the condition needs to be: monthly pillar destroys annual pillar JIA and/or CHEN.
Because JIA grows fire and destroys GENG in combat and CHEN imprisons part of YOU's energy, so it is best that they are neutralized.
But...does it really help?
On any month that destroys JIA, fire is weakened, so the damage on GENG is lessened, but still very much strong enough to eliminate GENG.
On any month that destroys CHEN, YOU is freed, but summation of energy is nowhere near 2012 state or even default natal state because WEI is imprisoned by WU, hence YOU is lacking the assist from WEI that it normally gets.
So in my POV, on the best months for metal in 2024, yes, metal energy improves a little, but I don't think in a way that is enough to find the special one.
What about 2025?
yi combines with geng to form metal
and snakes combines with rooster to form metal
Five Elements School don't apply the formation of new elements after paired combines.
The rationale is that paired combine is like a chemical reaction.
The resultant formation comes at the end.
But what we are interested in is the present, the process of the combine.
So we look at the effects of the combine, and not the result of the combine.
But YI-GENG combination does help increase metal luck.
By imprisoning GENG, it saves it from the attack of the fire.
So at least GENG ends up with some residual strength.
In the earthly branches, without CHEN, YOU is freed.
But SI comes to destroy YOU.
So metal is worse in the branches.
Five Elements School also does not take into account tri-combination frames.
But if I had to switch mode to traditional Bazi style, I would say half frames provide negligible effects.
Usually, a decisive increase in an element's strength would require a full frame to be present.
So SI and YOU needs CHOU to complete the frame.
Also makes sense from Five Elements' perspective, as SI fire grows CHOU earth grows YOU metal.
So overall, I still think 2025 is not that great for metal also.
also he is a weak ding fire, why metal is so important?
I don't understand this question.
Every element is important to every kind of Day Master.
