Partners
- Yin Metal
- 丙 Yang Fire
A diamond catching sunlight
Hold a diamond up to the sun and it throws light everywhere. Their Day Masters form a combination, an old sign of attraction. For the jewel, the sun is the Direct Officer, the star of respect and good name. For the sun, the jewel is Direct Wealth, what you tend and treasure. They tend to make each other look good in public.
The sun's warmth can be a lot. The jewel may lose their own sparkle trying to please. The sun may take the jewel's shine for granted. Separate interests tend to keep the spark. Notice and name what the other does well.
A bright, admiring bond that lasts when each keeps their own light.
Siblings
- Yin Metal
- 丙 Yang Fire
A diamond in sunlight
Hold a diamond up to the sun and it throws little rainbows on the wall. That sparkle is the charm between these two. They share a combination, an old sign of a natural pull. To the jewel sibling, the sun is the Direct Officer, the star of fair authority and good standing. To the sun, the jewel is Direct Wealth, something precious to cherish. They tend to bring out each other's best side in public.
Too much sun can blind. The sun sibling may lead so warmly that the jewel loses its own voice. The jewel may lean on the sun for approval. It helps when each keeps their own friends and goals. A bit of space makes the reunion brighter. Then the shine is shared, not borrowed.
A warm, natural pull; each keeping their own voice makes it shine.
Mother and son
- Mother · Yin Metal
- 丙 Son · Yang Fire
A gem catching the sunlight
Hold a gem up to the sun and it throws little rainbows across the room. The light and the stone need each other. This child is the sun and the mother is the gem. Their Day Masters form a combination, an old sign of a strong mutual pull. For her, the child is the Direct Officer, the star of fair authority. She tends to value this child's judgement highly. For the child, she is Direct Wealth: precious, steady, theirs to look after.
The pull can blur the roles. She may follow the child's lead too much and stop setting limits. The child may feel responsible for her happiness. What helps is remembering who is the parent. She can admire the child and still say no. The child can shine for themselves, not only for her.
A warm, close bond where the mother admires the child; it stays balanced when she still sets the limits.
Father and daughter
- Father · Yin Metal
- 丙 Daughter · Yang Fire
A crystal in the sunny window
Hang a crystal in a sunny window and the room fills with little rainbows. Sun and stone need each other for that trick. This father and daughter tend to bring out each other's light. Their energies form a combination, a natural embrace. To him, she is his Direct Officer, the star of respect and responsibility.
To her, he is her Direct Wealth, someone steady she looks after. He often wants to make her proud, and that keeps him on track. The friction is that strong sun can also glare. Her opinions may weigh on him more than she knows. It helps when she praises as freely as she judges. He does well to say when he feels pressured.
A warm, close bond where his daughter brings out his best and he tries hard for her.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
- Mother-in-law · Yin Metal
- 丙 Daughter-in-law · Yang Fire
A gem catching the sunlight
Hold a gem up to the sun and it suddenly comes alive with colour. That's this pair at its best. The daughter-in-law is the sun, the mother-in-law the jewel. Their days combine, an old sign of two people who naturally draw close. To the older woman, the younger is the Direct Officer, the star of respect and good order. To the daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law is Direct Wealth, steady and worth caring for. In plain words: the younger woman tends to bring out the older one's best side.
Too much sun, though, can fade a jewel. The daughter-in-law's strong warmth may slowly take over the older woman's decisions. The mother-in-law may agree just to keep the peace. It helps when the younger woman asks rather than assumes. The older one can say no now and then, and still be loved.
A warm, natural bond; it shines when the older woman keeps her own say.
