How to memorize, or at least understand the heavenly nobleman we don’t need to refer to any charts or notes. The key in memorizing the heavenly nobleman lies in the storage. Let me look at the triple combination, zoom into the storage of each of these combination, mentally superimposed the 3X3 diagram and you will realize the key to this moment resize in the storage of each of the gua.

During Chinese New Year (2023), there are many Querent asking if my zodiac is good (or bad) and so on. Moreover, there are also many methodology in deriving or forecasting. Hence, took some time to put this in writing to serve the community.
In this article, I eliminate talking about the negative stars / zodiac. This is the traditional 12 Grand Duke Stars (太歲十二神), google this keyword and be lots of Chinese articles from Taiwan and China on this theory.
The Dragon (辰) is endowed by Green Dragon or other known as The Sun in the 12-General. This deity is about compassion and genuinely cares for people around them. As the name implied, this is being the Sun and that Ray of lights for others. Happiness comes from other people success, helping others to be successful (i.e being a nobleman to others). And in doing so, fortune and blessing comes in. The key word for Green Dragon is being a Guiding Light for others.
The Horse (午) is blessed with Six Harmony or known as The Moon in the 12-General. This is an entrepreneur star and the ability create solutions to problems (seeing the gap in the market) which means having the vibration to start an alternative stream of income and in doing this help comes along the way. The key idea behind Six Harmony is being Creative and think out of the Box.
Dragon Virtues or traditionally know as Phoenix, indicates that there be challenges and obstacles to overcome. And with noble help and advise the Dog zodiac will overcome and rise above and shine. This in turns brings in fame, reputation, fortune and as well as becoming a mentor or coach for others (i.e. becoming a noble man himself or herself). Hence, don’t shy away from other people problem. Rising up to Challenges is the key word.
The Rat Zodiac is blessed by the fortune virtue in 2023. To be blessed by this star, the Rat should not start gossip towards as well as backstab others. Starting legal proceedings is also a last resort as it leads to a win-lose situation. When one doesn’t start all these negative talks and attacks; good luck and fortune will gradually appear and help people with Rat Zodiac in 2023. Delayed reaction and seek win win is the key word for the Rat.
As quoted above (URL), where these 4 zodiac appears would have different inferences. For example, the Horse (午) is blessed with Six Harmony or known as The Moon and appears in the hour pillar would denotes areas such as investment, desire, passion and assets needed creativity and out of the box solutions.
Or if it’s appearing in specific months, it also indicate that energy vibration we can harmonize during that month.
These 4 zodiac can also be specific sectors, which are energetic vibration in the 24 mountain compass we can use in our house Feng Shui.
So, instead of asking fortune tellers and believing in their half bake reasonings or look at some silly banners and posters; why not we understand these theory (a bit deeper) and seek to improve the decisions and make quality outcome ahead of us.
Looking at the person and to co-relate to the person’s house Feng Shui or looking at the Feng Shui and pinpointing one’s problematic areas, this aspect is also relate to the 5 elements and what it represents. Especially fluid when the one doing the assessment is an advanced or BaZi pro. Nothing to “Wow” once we understand how it is derived.
1. Mind (志，relates to Water), this is related to a negative star or inauspicious landform in a water sector. The residents tend to have unclarity of thoughts, fear or trauma to take action and the inability to plan ahead. This often leads to unsound financial planning. It also stop the residents to start connecting with people as well as stop taking a changes that was really use to push forward, causing the residents to refuse learning new skills and acknowledging their shortcomings.
2. Spirit (神，relates to Fire), triggers when there is negative stars or landform in the fire sector. It often starts with depressed emotions and negative feeling towards money or to attach to certain emotional issue on certain thing (so much so that it begins to breed repetition). There also a feeling of scarcity blocking the residents to achieve better version of themselves, often leads to stagnant relationship. How do you know the residents has a Spirit issue? They way they talk – often rude and disrespectful.
3. Body (魄，relates to Metal), another way to understand this is the Chakra in our human body or when one feels he/she has no energy in doing things, too lethargic, energy level is often low. Normally, when the metal element in is afflicted, not only does the body is energetically drained, the household tends to have respiratory ailments. Residents of the property then to have a loyalty issue and inability to execute instructions.
4. Soul (魂，relates to Wood), a clear sign that affliction has affected this sector the residents needed anger management or the household lacks purpose, kindness and compassion. There might be also signs of alcoholism or drug misuse issues. Often leads to liver ailments.
5. Will (意，relates to Earth), is often seen when NE or SW of the apartment has affliction or when personal stability sector (Fu Wei) is visited by negative stars. If often leads to the lack of self esteem, overzealous ego and lack of stamina. When we are dealing with residents of such affliction, we can know when we are feeling lack of trust or the challenges to build trust with the person. The residents are also prone to sugary food and stagnation routine that leads to diabetes.
甲不离庚 / Jia Wood need the company of Geng Metal, because wood needs to be trimmed, chopped and fine tune in order for it to be use furniture, artefacts or dried effectively to be use a firewoods.
乙不离丙癸 / Yi Wood need to be accompanied by Bing Fire and Gui Water. Bing Fire represent natural light or Sun, Yi Wood as a flowering plant needs both water and Sun to nurtrient it.
丙不离壬 / Bing Fire which is high and mightly needs to by humbled by water in the ocean. As water evaporates and condensed into clouds it covers the sun bleaming rays. Otherwise, the overwhelming heat will make life on planet impossible to grow.
丁不离甲 / Ding Fire is alike candle or flames in a fireplace, the heat is controlled by the amount of resource it has. Even if want to shines brightly for people in darkness, this line need Jia Wood as resource to burn.
戊不离甲 / Wu Earth is a mountain. In Feng Shui if a mountain is bared, earth and rocks can been seen. This is regarded as a inauspicious mountain landform. So, for mountain (ideally) it needs to have good amount of greens. Not only does it look beautiful and manificent, it also help in forming of midst , dews, rain and good habitat for living creatures. Good amount of trees also help reduce erosion. Nonetheless, wood doesn’t change the shape of the mountain.
己不离丙癸 / Ji Earth is soft soil where crops grown on, with heat from the sun (Bing Fire) and moisture from rain (Gui Water), the nutrients, acidity and humidity of the soil faciliate agriculture and growth.
庚不离丁 / Geng Metal is strong piece of rod, in order for it be shape into something useful, often it has to go into furnace and mould.
辛不离壬 / Xin Metal is a piece of jewelery wore on a lady and it needs output for its shine to be seen. Ren Water can represent the chemical need to clean this jewelery.
壬不离戊 / Ren Water is alike the ocean and the sea. It need to be control in order to take shape and form. It need to be controlled and regulated in a case of a dam otherwise the vast water bring more harm than benefit to human population.
癸不离庚 / Gui Water is seen as river or rainfall. In both cased it need a source to come from. Geng Metal here has the image of seasonal wind, dews, mist and cloud formation. Geng Metal can also be image as a tap for the water in commercial setting.
Keeping the post to the point – a frequent question receive recently (so decided to pen it down the solution for those who have affinity with this article).
Taking an example of Yang Fire (丙) Day-Master and 7-Killing as Yang Water (壬) and in a year where Tai Sui (太岁) induces Yang Water to cause legal, gossips (口舌官非) and challenges to the chart owner.
Solution: Using a 24 mountain feng shui compass, determine the position of Yang Water in the house / apartment. Examine that area and remove those item that directly / indirectly produce Yang Water (i.e. Yin Metal – Jewelry, key chain and coin etc or Water related such as water dispenser, diffusers). And, do this before the Tai Sui (太岁) changes – before Start of Spring (立春).
There is another method that uses personal life Gua number + 3×3 Grid and 6-Kins, slightly more complex than the above discussed.
