I just want to start by saying a massive thank you to Master @smsek .Your analysis... it honestly left me speechless. It’s like you held up a mirror to my entire life and put words to struggles I've never been able to fully explain. The idea of "justified preparedness" instead of "false hope" is something I'm going to carry with me. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.If it's okay, I’d like to add a few pieces from my own story that might fill in some of the blanks, and I’d love to hear what you all think.1. On my "Missing" Fire Element (The Direct Resource)For me, this wasn't just an absence; it felt more complicated. My mum did love me, I know she did. But we were so poor, and with my dad always away for work, the stress just wore her down. That motherly warmth (the Fire) was often completely drowned out by her having to be the strict disciplinarian – a role that feels much more like that punishing Metal energy in my chart. So in a way, the one person who should have been my main source of "Resource" was often the one wielding the axe. It makes the hunger for that warm, supportive energy in my life make so much sense.2. My Lifelong Hope for a True PartnerI know I need to focus on myself first, and Mr @smsek advice to build my own inner fire before jumping into a relationship is 100% wise. I guess I’m just being vulnerable here – the desire for a real, loving partnership has been a constant ache since I was a kid, probably because of that missing emotional validation early on. Seeing that the 2026 Bing Wu year has both Hong Yan and Hong Luan… it’s hard not to get my hopes up. I guess my question to you all is: Is it naive to think that this period could actually bring the real thing? Or is the universe more likely to just dangle the temptation in front of me to test my newfound inner strength?3. A Few Lingering Worries about the Bing Chen Luck PillarI’ll be honest, my brain keeps getting stuck on the technicalities. I’m so scared to get my hopes up. I keep worrying that:1. Instead of the Bing Fire (Yang Fire) strengthening me, it’ll just combine with all the Xin Metal in my chart and somehow turn into more Water (which would just put the fire out).2. And that the Chen Earth base will just team up with the You Metal already there, making my overthinking and perfectionism (that Eating God energy) even worse, basically sabotaging the whole thing.And this leads to my biggest confusion about my chart's core structure. I know I have a tiny bit of Ji Earth root hiding in the Chou (丑) branch of my Hour Pillar, which should be a good thing. But it feels completely trapped – it’s got the 7-Kill (Yi Wood) sitting right on top of it, and the Chou itself is busy combining with You to make even more Metal. So, what does that make me?Am I just a straightforward Weak Day Master?Is there a case for this being a Fake Follow Son chart?Or could it possibly be a true Follow Son chart? I know that tiny Ji Earth root hiding in the Chou branch of my Hour Pillar is basically helpless and useless. It's buried and suppressedMr @smsek has given me the courage to believe that the sunrise is coming. I think I just need some reassurance from all of you to help quiet these nagging doubts. Any further thoughts you have would mean the world to me.Thanks for listening, everyone.
As the Bing Chen year arrives, you can imagine my desperation. With two children, one of whom has physical limitations, I feel the weight of everything. I am enduring, but I look to the universe and ask: when will my time come? Thank you for your guidance and for seeing the core of this struggle.
