Output Generates Wealth (食傷生財)
Check whether Eating God or Hurting Officer can generate usable Wealth through sufficient source, access, protection, and whole-chart support.
Overview
Output Generates Wealth (食傷生財) describes Eating God or Hurting Officer feeding the Wealth phase. A valid mechanism requires operational Output, a reachable Wealth target, and a chart that can use the drain and resulting Wealth. Resource may obstruct Output, Companions may seize Wealth, and excessive drainage can weaken the Day Master; no income result is guaranteed.
At a glance
- Source
- Eating God or Hurting Officer supplies the Output phase
- Target
- Wealth must be present or reachable
- Capacity
- Day-Master source and Output roots constrain the chain
- Protection
- Resource obstruction and Companion seizure are checked
- Timing
- Period activation does not rewrite the natal relation
- Boundary
- No automatic talent, business success, or income
Identify the Output source and Wealth target
Derive Eating God, Hurting Officer, Direct Wealth, and Indirect Wealth from the Day Master and name the actual participants.
Keep polarity distinctions visible because the roles may function differently in the wider structure.
- Map exact symbols.
- Do not blend all Output or Wealth.
Test source, access, and sustainable drainage
Check Month Command, Day-Master capacity, Output roots, exposure, distance, and whether Wealth receives the generated phase.
A chain that exhausts its source or has no usable target is not a complete mechanism.
- Require a continuous chain.
- Assess sustainable capacity.
Audit obstruction, seizure, and timing
Resource can restrain Output, Companions can contest Wealth, and combinations or clashes can redirect either side.
Report natal conditions first, then any bounded Luck-Pillar or annual activation.
- Show competing relations.
- Set an expiry for timing claims.
Separate symbolic generation from financial results
食傷生財 does not prove creativity, entrepreneurship, sales ability, profit, investment return, or wealth.
Money decisions require direct financial evidence and cannot rely on a chart label.
- No income guarantee.
- No investment advice.
