1. Basic Meaning of Ding Hai
- Structure: Ding Fire (yin fire) sits on Hai Water. Hai contains Ren Water (Seven Killings) and Jia Wood (Indirect Resource), forming a Killing–Resource same palace pattern. Fire is suppressed by water, but with Wood supporting Fire, Resource transforms Killing and balance is restored.
- Character: Warm outside but firm inside, sensitive and intuitive. Tends to overthink, with energy drained under stress.
- Favorable/Unfavorable:
- Favorable: Yin-Mao Wood, Si-Wu Fire; Jia/Yi Resource appearing to transform Killing, Fire peers to support the self.
- Helpful: Earth (Output) to drain excess Water, strengthen Fire, forming productive cycles.
- Unfavorable: Too much Water (Hai-Zi or Shen-Zi-Chen Water combinations), or excessive Metal-Water without Wood-Fire mediation, leading to stress, disputes, and emotional turbulence.
- Wealth & Authority: For Ding Fire, Metal is Wealth, Water is Authority (Officer/Killing), Wood is Resource, Earth is Output. With Wood-Fire helping, Authority is controlled and Wealth can be used effectively.
2. Male & Female Traits
Male Natives
- Career: Often suppressed early but rise later, especially during Resource (Wood) or Fire luck. If the Resource transforms Killing, suited for government, finance, law, research, or consulting.
- Wealth: Metal is wealth. In autumn or Metal luck cycles, if Fire is strong enough, good for investment, high-end tech, or metal industries. If Water is heavy and self weak, wealth slips away.
- Marriage: Authority/Killing stars symbolize spouse pressure. With weak self, concerns before marriage and conflicts after; with Resource, spouse becomes supportive.
- Health: Watch heart, sleep quality, and kidney function. Stress may cause headaches or inflammation.
Female Natives
- Career: Strong sense of aesthetics and insight. With Resource to balance, expertise can turn into influence (media, branding, psychology, education). Seven Killings give decisiveness—controlled it becomes efficiency, unchecked it causes anxiety.
- Love/Marriage: Authority (Gui) / Killing (Ren) signify husband. With Resource support and moderate Output, love is stable. Excess Water with no control may draw overbearing partners or create distance.
- Wealth & Family: When Wealth (Metal) is usable, adept at managing finances and family. If Wealth is too strong and harms Resource, relationships can cool.
- Health: Pay attention to thyroid, hormones, menstruation. Emotional and sleep management are key.
