In a male’s Bazi (Eight Characters), the Wealth Star is regarded as the Wife Star, and its state is closely related to the character and talent of his wife.
I. Pure Wealth Star
A pure Wealth Star refers to the Wealth Star in the Bazi being clear and bright, and having a favorable relationship with the self. Specifically, it manifests as the Wealth Star being a favorable or useful element, and wholeheartedly inclining towards the Day Master. Even if the Wealth Star is a conflicting element, as long as it is distant from the Day Master, or there are elements in the chart that control, transform, or harmonize with the Wealth Star, thereby assisting the Day Master, it can also be considered as having a favorable relationship. For example, in a male’s Bazi, if the Wealth Star is in a beneficial position and not interfered by other adverse factors, such as competing elements like the Shoulder Star or Robbery Star vying for the Wealth Star, then this Wealth Star is pure. In this case, the wife’s personality is often clear and bright, possessing good character and talent.
II. Turbid Wealth Star
A turbid Wealth Star can take several forms. First, the Wealth Star is overly strong and becomes a hostile element. Second, the Wealth Star is a mix of both upright and biased, with a combination of visible and hidden elements. Third, the Wealth Star is a conflicting element but blends with the Day Stem; or it is a favorable element yet entangled with the Official Star or the Seven-Kill Star; or it blends with the Day Master’s favorable or useful elements. For instance, in a Bazi where both the Upright Wealth and Biased Wealth stars are present in a powerful state, and they do not have a clear cooperative relationship with each other, this Wealth Star is turbid. Under such circumstances, the wife may not be virtuous, often being domineering and unkind.
III. Day Branch Sitting on the Wealth Star
When the Wealth Star is a favorable or useful element in the Bazi, and the Day Branch sits on the Wealth Star, this person usually has a virtuous wife. The Day Branch itself represents the family, and the Day Branch sitting on the Wealth Star indicates that the family is wealthy. The person is likely to marry a wealthy wife, or the wife can boost his fortune. At the same time, for this type of Bazi, the Wife Palace is in a good position, and the wife is law-abiding and has high character and virtue. However, if there are other branches conflicting with the Wife Palace, it will weaken this effect, making it difficult for them to grow old together.
IV. Wealth Star Can Harmonize Other Gods
If the Wealth Star in the Bazi can harmonize other idle gods, conflicting gods, or hostile gods in other columns into the self’s favorable or useful gods, it means that the wife has a wide social circle, high skills, and strong coordination ability. She can help her husband solve problems in life and is a capable helper in her husband’s career and life. For example, in a Bazi where the Biased Wealth Star harmonizes with the Shoulder Star and turns into the Upright Wealth Star, and the Upright Wealth Star is the favorable or useful god for the husband, then the wife can help her husband achieve better development in his career.
V. Day Branch as a Favorable Element and also the Longevity Place
When the Day Branch is a favorable or useful element in the Bazi, and also the longevity place for the Day Master, the wife’s help to the husband is tremendous. The Day Branch is closely attached to the Day Master and has the most direct influence on the husband. As the longevity place, the Day Branch symbolizes that the wife has a long-lasting fortune and can withstand the vicissitudes of life. She will help her husband ungrudgingly throughout his life and is a virtuous and kind wife.
VI. Day Branch as a Conflicting Element but Harmonized into a Favorable Element by Other Branches
In this case, the wife may not be initially liked by the husband, but she has the quality of being good and virtuous, able to correct mistakes, give up her own shortcomings, and promote her strengths. She has a strong ability to transform. Eventually, she will become a capable housewife and a virtuous and kind woman. For example, if the Day Branch is a conflicting element, but other branches can harmonize with it and turn it into a favorable element for the husband, it means that the wife can improve herself through her own efforts and become a help in her husband’s life.
VII. Day Branch as a Conflicting Element and in Opposition with Other Branches
This type of Bazi indicates that the wife’s nature may not be very good and may bring some troubles and confusion to the husband. However, due to environmental and other factors, this adverse influence is limited. The wife’s personality will be restrained, or she can correct her shortcomings through education or by learning from life experiences. The husband can also enjoy the benefits brought by his wife throughout his life, although the process may have some ups and downs.
VIII. Day Branch as the Element Needed for Balancing the Bazi
If the Bazi needs to be balanced, such as seeing water in summer or fire in winter, and the Day Branch happens to be the element for balancing, then the wife’s role to the husband is mainly to correct deviations and create a comfortable environment for the husband’s growth and actions. She will become an irreplaceable virtuous wife and helper to the husband, having a positive impact on his entire life.
