1. Your Core Chart Analysis (Who You Are)

Your Day Master is Geng Jin (庚金), which is like strong, unyielding metal—think of a sword or an axe. Geng Jin individuals are often decisive, sharp, principled, and have a strong sense of justice. They are natural leaders and problem-solvers.

Key Characteristics of Your Chart:

•   Strong Earth Element: Your chart is dominated by the Earth element (the branches of your Year, Month, and Hour pillars are all Earth). In Bazi, Earth produces (strengthens) Metal. This means you have a very strong Supportive Star (印星) element. This indicates:

    ◦   You are a resilient, stable, and dependable person.

    ◦   You have a good capacity for learning and can be very knowledgeable.

    ◦   You may be conservative, cautious, and sometimes a bit stubborn, preferring a solid foundation before acting.

•   Wealth and Power Structure: The Fire element (which controls/restricts Metal) is your Resource Star (财星). It is present but not overwhelmingly strong in the chart itself. This suggests that while you have the ability to generate wealth, it may not come effortlessly. You will need to actively "conquer" it through your efforts, skills, and partnerships.

•   The Importance of Friends: The Metal element (your friends, peers, and competitors) is your Comparable/Brother Star (比劫). A strong friend element can be a double-edged sword: they can be great helpers and partners, but they can also compete for resources. Choosing the right partner is crucial for you.

2. Analysis of the Business Opportunity

The Proposed Business:
Importing healthcare goods from China with a doctor friend. This is an excellent fit for your chart for several reasons:

1.  Healthcare Connection: The healthcare and medical field is strongly associated with the Metal element. Since your chart is strong Earth producing Metal, you are naturally drawn to and supported by this industry. It's a favorable "output" for your energy.
2.  The Partner (Your Doctor Friend): Your friend, being a doctor, is a manifestation of the Metal element. A strong, reliable partner is exactly what your chart needs to activate the Wealth star (Fire). He provides the specialized knowledge (Metal) that, when combined with your stability (Earth), can successfully generate the business (Fire). This is a very positive synergy.

3. Your Current and Upcoming Luck Cycles (大运)

This is the most critical part for timing.

•   Current Luck Pillar (2019-2028): You are in the 乙未 (Yi Wei) Luck Pillar.

    ◦   Yi Wood (乙木) is your Wealth Star. This 10-year period is inherently about seeking and creating wealth opportunities. Your desire to start a business is perfectly aligned with the energy of your current cycle. The "seed" of this idea is planted now.

•   Next Luck Pillar (2029-2038): You are entering the 甲午 (Jia Wu) Luck Pillar.

    ◦   This is an excellent cycle for this kind of venture.

    ◦   Jia Wood (甲木) is another, even stronger, Wealth Star. This indicates a significant opportunity for wealth growth.

    ◦   The branch Wu Fire (午火) is your Power/Resource Star (官杀), which represents your career, authority, and projects. A strong Wealth star (Wood) producing a strong Power star (Fire) creates a powerful cycle of growth, recognition, and business expansion.

Starting in 2026 is a very good idea. It allows you to lay the foundation during your current Wealth-star cycle (乙未) and then catch the powerful wave of growth as you transition into the exceptional 甲午 cycle.

4. Yearly Analysis for 2026 and Beyond

•   2026 (Year of the Bing Wu - 丙午): This is a Fire year, which is your Power/Resource Star. A strong Power star year means:

    ◦   Pressure and Challenge: Starting a business will be demanding. There will be obstacles, regulations to follow (common in healthcare), and a steep learning curve.

    ◦   Growth and Recognition: If you embrace the challenge, this pressure is what forges strong metal (you). It will lead to significant career advancement and reputation building. The fact that it's a double Fire year (丙午) intensifies this energy, making it a potent year to launch.

•   2027 (Year of the Ding Wei - 丁未): This continues the strong Fire/Earth theme, providing a stable platform for the business you started in 2026. It's a good year for consolidation and establishing operational procedures.

Conclusion & Advice

Yes, this is a very promising opportunity for you, and the timing is excellent.

1.  Synergy is Key: The business (healthcare/Metal) and the partner (doctor/Metal) align perfectly with your chart's strengths.
2.  Timing is Favorable: Your current and upcoming 20-year luck period is strongly geared towards wealth creation and career development. Starting the groundwork in 2026 positions you perfectly to ride this wave.
3.  Embrace the Challenge: The initial years (2026-2027) will be hard work. See this pressure as the necessary force that will shape your success, not as a reason to quit. Your Geng Metal nature is strong enough to handle it.
4.  Practical Steps: Your chart shows you are stable and cautious (strong Earth). Use this strength. Between now and 2026, do your due diligence: research the market in Indonesia, understand import regulations, and create a solid business plan to attract investors. Your inherent caution will be a great asset in mitigating risk.

In summary, you not only have the luck for business, but you are entering a phase where pursuing such a venture is highly supported by the energies of your destiny. This partnership seems to be a well-timed and suitable path for you.

Good luck!

According to the chart provided (thank you, smsek!), the Month-command (月令) is a storage branch that holds the Indirect Resource (Pian Yin). Since the Month Branch forms the Fire Triad (Yin–Wu–Xu), the chart converts into an Indirect Officer (Pian Guan) structure.
In terms of the chart's Strength and Weakness, Prosperity and Decline (旺衰强弱), the Indirect Officer is weaker than the Pian Yin as there is no Indirect Wealth (Pian Cai) present in the natal chart.

In essence, this is a Pian Yin Month-command chart, operating on the "Killing-Generate-Resource (殺印相生)" cycle.

Under a Pian Yin Month, the "Killing-Generate-Resource" pattern means the native constantly scans their surroundings and stabilizes crises before they escalate, as life is spent in environments where danger and pressure are always present.
Since the native is male and the Hour Pillar holds Pian Guan, he has a clear ambition to go out into the world and accomplish something significant. But, before the Yi-Wei Luck Cycle, no one truly recognized or backed that aspiration.

During the Yi-Wei and Jia-Wu Luck Cycles, Peer Stars (比劫, Bi-Jie) fight over Wealth, which rescues the Indirect Resource from being consumed by Wealth. Meanwhile the Officer star suppresses the Peers, thereby saving the Wealth.
In other words: in Yi-Wei and Jia-Wu, the native receives proposals involving competitive profit or becomes personally interested in such things. Because this is a Pian Yin-type chart, there is a meticulous, long-prepared plan in place. Advance planning gives the native a head start in the competition, and since the Officer star subdues the Peers and claims the Wealth, the native ultimately secures the profit.
But both Yi-Wei and Jia-Wu are Wealth-Officer cycles in which Peer Stars cannot truly run wild. In short, the native’s competitors are not impressive.

Looking at Annual Luck: from Yi-Si year through Ding-Wei year (a three-year span), this is a bright Yang-Ming (陽明) phase in which Xin Metal is at its greatest risk. Without Ren Water, Xin melts and disappears; the technical skill, reputation, or professional life one has built up can dissolve.
If Xin lacks Ren Water, there should at least be Geng Metal to supply support, or Wu Earth to have already prepared a career pivot. In this chart, the self is Geng Metal and the outside world is Xin Metal. For the next three years, people whose ideas or resources are exhausted will come seeking help from the native.
Xin Metal especially transforms into Yi Wood when it encounters Wu Earth, and the current Luck Cycle is Yi-Wei. This indicates a period when someone, having hit a dead-end, turns to the native looking for an alternate path.

The Month-command Pian Yin is backed by a robust Corresponding Spirit (相神), so the family background is good. The native also holds academic and professional credentials that already secure an advantage over others.
Internally, the mind dreams of expansion and scaling up, but the true nature is more focused on maintaining what is already possessed rather than expanding. He is more accustomed to following someone else’s lead than spearheading personally.
So, before saying yes to any business proposal, he needs to consider not just the idea itself, but why the friend is making the offer, which one of them will lead, which one of them will support, and whether the returns will genuinely satisfy his personal standards.

Bing-Wu and Ding-Wei are "Corresponding Spirit" years for this chart. It is the time to show the world "what I'm made of." So, it is indeed a phase worth acting with confidence.
But still, next year is an Indirect Officer year, which means difficulty and unpredictability. At least until Mu-Shen year, the native will have to sweat physically and hustle hard. But the main pattern of this chart is "Metal in peak season, Fire-controlling-Metal." The native values efficiency and dislikes meaningless effort. Therefore, the real question is whether there will be enough sustained effort to produce visible results by Mu-Shen year.

1. What is the best period for this chart?

I guess it's wood/wealth luck cycle like Geng Yin and Xin Mao. Wealth remains hidden in branch and there's no clash so it doesn't disturb the main pattern. 

This also means his wealth should remain hidden or shared with his peers, regardless the amount.

2. Do you count "void and emptiness" in the chart? According to this calculator, his month and hour branches are empty: https://bazi-calculator.com/?licz=1&y=1991&m=10&d=27&h=20%3A00&g=0&l=0&lon=49.0511

1. Whether something is good or bad is subjective, especially when it comes to luck cycles. Ten-year luck cycles represent the path you're on. They show the actions you should take to improve yourself, not whether your luck is good. In my opinion, this chart will most effectively fulfill its duty as Pian Yin during the Gui-Si and Ren-Chen cycles. Pian Yin protects Pian Guan from Shi Shang, so the native will be the busiest and most productive during those decades. The rewards will be great, as expected.
But I agree with you that the Xin-Mao and Geng-Yin cycles are favorable as well, as the native will gain a large following as a spiritual leader. But Wealth Competition is not the main pattern of this chart; Guan-Yin Mutual Generation is, and its purpose is to protect Guan from Shi Shang. So, I think Gui-Si and Ren-Chen would be the most meaningful to the chart.

2. I don't know much about void and emptiness (空亡). My teachers said that these concepts are too simplistic to explain the complexity of life, so I didn't bother studying them. They said Shensha (神煞) is only useful for divination, whereas Mingli is more than that. I agree.

Your query of business opportunity involves more than one party: yourself and the prospective business partner.  It would be better be analyzed with a divination method, such as Liu Yao.
