Rob Wealth in the year, month, day and hour pillars

Tap a pillar to see what Rob Wealth means there. The month pillar weighs most.

Month · Rob Wealth

About 17–32

Parents and siblings, career, society

Rob Wealth in the month pillar puts you in competitive arenas, good for sales, trading, investment and sport where results are measured in wins. When unfavorable, watch out for partnership disputes, guarantees for others and over-investing.

Rob Wealth in career, money, love and family

Career

Rob Wealth suits sales, trading, negotiation, sport, start-ups and any field where competition is the engine. It likes high stakes and visible wins, and it needs a structure that channels its drive instead of a steady desk job that bores it.

Money

Money moves fast in both directions. Rob Wealth can bring big deals and big losses, often through partners or friends. Budgets, contracts and a rule against lending to people who can't repay protect it best.

Love

Passionate and protective, sometimes too much so. A strong Rob Wealth can bring rivalry into love, a competitor, a triangle or a struggle for control, so trust has to be built deliberately.

Family and people

Traditionally Rob Wealth stands for siblings of the other sex and for close peers, and more broadly for partners, rivals and anyone who shares, or competes for, what is yours.

Rob Wealth in a man's chart and a woman's chart

Men

In a man's chart Rob Wealth stands for sisters and peers, and it is the star that takes from the wife and Wealth stars. With strong Rob Wealth and weak Wealth, watch spending, lending and rivals in love; as a useful god it is the source of drive and nerve.

Women

In a woman's chart Rob Wealth stands for brothers and peers. Women with strong Rob Wealth are frank, loyal and ambitious; in love, rivals or power struggles can appear, so look for a partner who admires your drive and shares the load.

When Rob Wealth helps, and when it hurts

Helps when

Rob Wealth helps a weak Day Master facing heavy Seven Killings or Wealth: it adds courage and fight. Paired with Seven Killings it can turn a hard chart into a commander's.

Hurts when

With a strong Day Master it becomes reckless: spending, gambling, quarrels over money and partners who take more than they give. It is the god most often blamed for "robbing" Wealth.

How to balance an unfavorable Rob Wealth

To ease Rob Wealth, turn the urge to grab into the skill to earn (Eating God, Hurting Officer), then add discipline (Direct Officer, Seven Killings). In daily life: set budgets, never co-sign for others, and sign contracts with partners.

Too much Rob Wealth, or none at all

Too much Rob Wealth

Too much Rob Wealth makes spending bold and impulsive, with losses through friends, partners or speculation, and plenty of rivalry around you. The chart needs Output to channel the drive into work, or an Officer to restrain it; guard cash flow if Wealth is weak.

No Rob Wealth in the chart

With no Rob Wealth you tend to be gentle and avoid conflict, and you may give ground too easily when competing. If your Day Master is weak, use Peer luck pillars and years to find partners, and practise asking for what you want.

Rob Wealth with the other nine gods

Ten gods work in pairs. Here is how Rob Wealth relates to each of the others, with the combinations the classics name.

What is the Goat Blade structure (羊刃格)?

When the month branch holds Rob Wealth, as Jia Wood born in a Mao (卯) month, a yang Day Master forms Yang Ren Ge (羊刃格, the Goat Blade structure) and a yin one is usually called Yue Jie Ge (月劫格). Both are strong charts that need Seven Killings or Direct Officer to keep the blade in check.

About the Goat Blade structure (羊刃格)

In the classics

比劫奪財

Bi Jie Duo Cai, "peers seize the Wealth": when Friend and Rob Wealth are many and Wealth is weak, money and partners are taken by others. The classical remedy is Output (Eating God or Hurting Officer) to turn rivalry into work that earns.

A Rob Wealth year or luck pillar

A Rob Wealth year raises the stakes: bold moves, competition and expenses, sometimes a windfall, sometimes a loss. Decide limits before you start, avoid guarantees for others, and channel the energy into a goal.
