Structure and Strength Analysis (格局與旺衰)
Separate structure from strength while showing how Month Command, roots, support, drain, control, and functional capacity inform both judgments.
Overview
Structure asks which chart relationship organizes the pattern; strength asks how much support and capacity the Day Master and participating functions possess. The two judgments interact but are not interchangeable. A reader should complete each evidence map separately, then explain how capacity supports, damages, or limits the selected structure.
At a glance
- Structure question
- Which relation organizes the chart?
- Strength question
- What capacity does each side have?
- Shared evidence
- Month, roots, exposure and relations
- Different outputs
- Pattern role and relative capacity
- Integration
- Capacity tests whether the path can operate
- Boundary
- Strong and formed are not automatically good
Build two separate evidence maps
Map the Month-Command pattern, candidate roles, formation, damage, and rescue for structure.
Map seasonal support, roots, allies, drains, controls, and transformations for strength.
- Do not use one label for both.
- Keep repeated evidence from being double-counted.
Use capacity to test structural operation
A formed relation may remain difficult to operate if its anchor or Day Master lacks capacity.
Conversely, a strong Day Master does not identify which structure or useful function should lead.
- Ask what each side can sustain.
- Do not infer pattern from strength alone.
State school-specific weighting
Schools differ on seasonal weighting, root quality, transformation, and follow thresholds.
Publish the adopted rules and counterevidence rather than presenting a numeric score as universal fact.
- No unexplained percentages.
- Document disputed thresholds.
Neither judgment measures the person
Strong, weak, formed, and broken do not describe physical health, willpower, morality, or human capability.
Do not turn them into medical, employment, financial, or relationship advice.
- Avoid personality shortcuts.
- Use real evidence for consequential choices.
