2. Those whose destinies carry Tianyi Noble Person, Tian De, or Yue De Noble Person have relatively good interpersonal relationships.
3. For female destinies, it is not advisable to have many Tianyi Noble Persons, as it may lead to being perceived as promiscuous.
4. Those whose daily stems sit on the twelve branches of growth, dressing up, establishment of power, decline, illness, nourishment, or pregnancy generally have better interpersonal relationships.
5. Those whose destinies contain many malevolent deities and evil spirits, or whose stems and branches have many conflicts and clashes, tend to have poor interpersonal relationships.
6. Those whose daily stems sit on the twelve branches of imperial vigor, bathing, death, tomb, or exhaustion have relatively poor social interpersonal relationships.
7. In the four pillars, if the righteous seal is the strongest and directly affects the daily stem, such a person is well-informed, kind and benevolent, mature and cautious, tolerant and magnanimous, not overly concerned with minor issues. However, they may appear somewhat reserved and not good at speaking. They value face and have poor social skills. Yet, they are amiable and approachable, thus leaving a good impression. The righteous seal pattern has characteristics of maturity.
8. In the four pillars, if the partial seal is the strongest and directly affects the daily stem, such a person is astute and capable, solitary and thoughtful, gloomy and harsh, with strong comprehension. They are not good at, or even disdainful of, using flowery language to communicate and interact with others. They give off an impression of being hard to approach and unfathomable, with poor social skills, and are likely to leave a bad impression. Since their emotions are not easily displayed, even their kindness may be mistaken for a plot. Such people should open up, interact more with others, understand others’ opinions and views, and treat people and things with enthusiasm and an open attitude.
9. In the destiny pattern, if the righteous official is the strongest and directly affects the daily stem, and if the righteous official is a favorable deity, then this person is upright and noble, law-abiding, rigorous and meticulous, and treats people and matters impartially and without bias. Although their social skills are average, they can leave a good impression. However, due to their upright character, they often seem not easy to approach and overly stern. If the righteous official is an unfavorable deity, then this person often gives an impression of lacking enthusiasm, lacking decisiveness in actions, being indecisive, and appearing timid and fearful.
10. In the destiny pattern, if the partial official (Seven Killings) is strong and directly affects the daily stem, and if the partial official is a favorable deity, then this person gives an impression of being chivalrous and competitive, proactive and enterprising, decisive and determined, with judgment and insight. However, they are domineering and stubborn, hard to coordinate with, and likely to be respected from a distance, with poor social skills. If the partial official is an unfavorable deity, then this person gives an impression of being radical and rebellious, domineering and severe, gloomy and bloodthirsty, causing fear and making people dare not approach.
11. In the four pillars, if the partial wealth is the strongest and directly affects the daily stem, such a person is generous and hearty, caring and righteous, willing to help others, and sincere without hypocrisy. The partial wealth is the strongest in the ten deities in terms of social skills and smoothness, and leaves a good impression with strong affinity. People with partial wealth are good at arranging the order of things, making others willing to cooperate with them. If the partial wealth is an unfavorable deity, then this person may have a bad habit of defrauding others, easily trapping those around them.
12. In the four pillars, if the righteous wealth is strong and directly affects the daily stem, and if the righteous wealth is a favorable deity, then this person is hardworking and patient, law-abiding and upright. However, since people with righteous wealth are good at calculating gains and losses, they are likely to be greedy and stingy. Although they may speak sweetly and with a smiling face, they lack true sincerity and are easily seen through, thus causing others’ disgust and rejection. Therefore, even though they use social tactics, they often fail to achieve the desired effect. If the righteous wealth is an unfavorable deity, then this person will be lazy, selfish and self-interested, and do things half-heartedly, making it difficult to receive positive evaluations.
13. In the four pillars, if the food god is the strongest and directly affects the daily stem, such a person is gentle in character, understanding, tolerant and magnanimous, decent in words and deeds, kind and sincere in treating people, neither humble nor arrogant in handling affairs, able to fully express themselves and accept others’ criticism. Such people give an impression of being plain and reliable, easily making friends, and their way of interacting is equal and friendly. If there is a partial seal in the destiny pattern, most of the food god’s gentle and trustworthy advantages will disappear, and instead, it may trigger violent temperament, leaving a bad impression. If there is no obstruction of the partial seal, the food god can be regarded as an excellent social talent with very good interpersonal relationships.
14. In the destiny pattern, if the injury official is strong and close to the daily stem, and is a favorable deity in the destiny pattern, then this person is intelligent and witty, eloquent, vivid in expression, and able to respond flexibly. They are good at strategies and are debate masters and performance geniuses, leaving a deep impression and basically being top-notch social experts. However, since the injury official, though clever, is often arrogant and rebellious, likes to take shortcuts, and behaves recklessly, it is easy to break the law. Especially when the injury official is an unfavorable deity and is assisted by the plundering wealth in evil deeds, its shortcomings are more obvious, giving an impression of being hard to get along with and not trustworthy.
15. In the destiny pattern, if the shoulder bearer is strong and close to the daily stem, such a person has a strong and steady personality, is sincere and straightforward, consistent in words and deeds, does not like to flatter, is not good at concealing, is not skilled in socializing, does not understand how to use interpersonal relationships, and is likely to offend others unintentionally.
16. In the four pillars, if the plundering wealth is strong and directly affects the daily stem, such a person is brave and radical in doing things, good at showing themselves in social occasions, creating a social atmosphere, and their agile reaction enables them to adjust themselves in time. If there is a righteous official to guide, they may become excellent diplomatic talents. However, if the plundering wealth is too strong, it is easy to be radical and impulsive, reckless, and act without considering the consequences, easily making enemies.
