What Are Fortune Gods Return Each Other (福神相還) in BaZi?
Learn which classical symbols count as fortune gods, reciprocal support, prosperity and conflict conditions, Nayin hierarchy and product boundaries.
Overview
Fortune Gods Return Each Other is the workbook’s English name for 福神相還. The source uses “fortune gods” as a broad umbrella that may include Lu, Travelling Horse, Officer or Noble, Six Harmony, Huagai, Golden Carriage, Literary Star, Nobleman, Proper Seal and other storehouse, food or virtue symbols. “Return each other” means that such evidence supports other positions reciprocally, but the passage gives no single adjacency graph or universal score. It also requires strength and supporting Five-Phase qi while treating dead or extinct stages, clash, break and void as adverse. OpenFate presents implemented markers separately and does not calculate a Fortune Gods Return Each Other verdict.

“Fortune gods” is a source category, not one fixed star
The list spans Lu, Horse, Officer or Noble, Six Harmony, Huagai, Golden Carriage, Literary Star, Nobleman, Proper Seal and less tightly defined storehouse, food and virtue items. A page should preserve that breadth without pretending every later school uses the same list.
Each claimed marker needs its own lookup rule, reference stem or branch, and actual position. The heading alone cannot turn all favorable labels into one interchangeable substance.
- Name every marker and the rule used to obtain it.
- Do not normalize the source list into one universal star catalog.
Reciprocity, strength and adverse evidence must be shown together
The passage asks whether fortune evidence returns support across positions and whether prosperous Five-Phase qi carries it. It gives special weight to the root or principal stem and distinguishes stem strength from Nayin dead or extinct status.
Clash, break, void and dead or extinct stages can weaken the reading. The remark that one strong item may suffice, otherwise two, is too compressed to become a numeric threshold or graph algorithm.
- Display supporting and adverse evidence in the same assessment.
- Do not convert “one or two items” into an undocumented score.
OpenFate keeps implemented markers in their existing systems
The product may display Lu, Horse, Noble, harmony, Huagai and other markers only where its deterministic rules already implement them.
There is no Fortune Gods Return Each Other detector. No universal marker list, reciprocal edge, Nayin override, fortune score, report conclusion or saved-chart field is added.
- Use only implemented marker facts and declared lookup rules.
- No reciprocal graph, fortune score or report override.
Auspicious labels cannot predict rank, hardship or lifespan
The source connects combinations of evidence with ministers, minor officials, hardship, isolation, poverty, early death and religious life. These are historical outcome claims, not reliable diagnoses or forecasts.
Do not infer office, status, career, income, wealth, loneliness, religion, disability, crime, health, mortality, relationships, safety or lifespan.
- No office, status, career, income or wealth guarantee.
- No isolation, religion, health, death, safety or lifespan prediction.
