Your charts, read as business partners

For business partners, ezfate weighs Element exchange and Day Masters most. This is what those parts of your two charts say.

  • Element exchange

    35% of the score (Business partners)

    81

    The element exchange weighs most: each partner's chart should supply what the other lacks.

  • Day Masters

    25% of the score (Business partners)

    90

    Day Masters show how you decide together. The same element scores lower here, because equals compete for the same money (比劫奪財).

Strongest point: Zodiac signs (95)To work on: Cross links (75)

Who you are to each other

Each Day Master read as a ten god in the other person's chart.

How Bazi reads a business partnership

Business partner compatibility

A partnership is a shared stake, so the business score asks what each chart brings to the other.

  • Element exchange, 35%: does each chart supply what the other lacks?
  • Day Masters, 25%: how you decide together; same-element partners score lower (比劫奪財).
  • Cross links, 25%: how smoothly negotiations and decisions run.
  • Wealth star (財星): how much of each partner's money element the other chart holds.

The spouse palaces count only 5%, unless you are founders who live the company together.

Money between partners: wealth stars and 比劫奪財

Your wealth star is the element your Day Master controls. A partner whose Day Master is that element tends to bring you clients or income; a partner whose chart is rich in it gives you a solid money link. The calculator checks both directions.

Two partners of the same element are energized by the same goals, but tradition warns of 比劫奪財: peers competing for the same money and credit. It is the pairing that most needs equity, roles and exit terms in writing.

Dividing the roles

The ten-god roles hint at a natural split. The partner whose Day Master feeds the other (output, 食傷) tends to be the product or ideas person; the one who checks the other (Officer) sets structure and governance; a Resource partner suits investor or adviser roles.

The month pillars show each partner's working self: pace, methods and appetite for risk. A clash there is worth discussing before the first big decision.

Before you sign

Use the chart as a checklist, not a verdict: who decides when you disagree, how money is split, what happens if one of you leaves. A high score makes these talks easier; a low one makes them essential.
