Introduction: Your Energetic Blueprint for Success
In Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny), the Ten Gods reveal how innate energies shape wealth creation. Think of them as a DNA blueprint for your vocational strengths—not rigid destiny, but a compass aligning your core drives (control, creativity, collaboration) with optimal money-making paths.
Core Wealth Paths by Ten Gods Pair
| Ten God | Core Drive | Wealth Focus | Optimal Path | Modern Career Examples | Key Risks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Officer (正官) | Maintaining order, hierarchy climbing | Authority = Wealth | Institutional advancement, compliance-driven fields | Civil servant, state-owned enterprise executive, auditing director | Over-caution misses market opportunities |
| Seven Killings (七杀) | Disruptive control, crisis mastery | Power leverage = Wealth | High-pressure/high-reward sectors, rule-making | M&A lawyer, ER specialist, anti-fraud system developer | Aggression triggers systemic backlash |
| Direct Resource (正印) | Systematic knowledge preservation | Academic authority = Wealth | Top-tier education, traditional knowledge monopolies | University professor, academic journal editor | Detached from market needs |
| Indirect Resource (偏印) | Unconventional wisdom curation | Niche expertise = Wealth | Frontier innovation, metaphysical industries | Metaphysics IP creator, blockchain protocol designer | Isolation without creative output |
| Comparable (比肩) | Egalitarian collaboration | Network dividends = Wealth | Scalable team replication | Franchise founder, MCN agency partner | Mediocrity undermines competitiveness |
| Rob Wealth (劫财) | Resource acquisition | Volume leverage = Wealth | Platform economy, predatory investment | E-commerce price strategist, crypto quant trader | Legal exposure in aggressive tactics |
| Eating God (食神) | Pure creativity | Masterpiece value = Wealth | Slow-burn artisanal ventures | Michelin chef, children’s book author, eco-farmer | Idealism strains cash flow |
| Hurting Officer (伤官) | Rebellious expression | Attention economy = Wealth | Personal IP explosions, rule-breaking | Stand-up comedy star, AI ethics critic | Provocation fuels conflicts |
| Direct Wealth (正财) | Stable resource flow | Cash flow management = Wealth | Essential services, long-term assets | Community pharmacy chain, treasury bond investor | Innovation aversion breeds stagnation |
| Indirect Wealth (偏财) | Opportunistic leverage | Arbitrage gains = Wealth | Trend-driven speculation, information gaps | NFT flipper, mineral futures broker | Volatility demands systemic anchors |
Key Insights
Ten Gods as Energetic Compasses
- Example: A “Hurting Officer” individual can revolutionize tech workflows—not limited to artistic fields.
- Core Insight: Align innate drives (e.g., Officer’s need for control, Resource’s thirst for knowledge) with compatible environments.
Wealth Sustainability > Earning Capacity
- Strong Friend/Rob Wealth but weak Direct Wealth: Gains clients but struggles to retain profits; requires financial advisors.
- Abundant Direct Wealth but weak Day Master: Overwhelmed by opportunities; thrives in specialized niches.
Mitigating Energy Imbalances
- Excessive Officer Energy: Over-reliance on hierarchies; misses agile market opportunities.
- Excessive Eating God/Hurting Officer Energy: Ideas lack execution; requires Wealth stars for practical grounding.
Final Note
The Ten Gods reveal how you work best—but wealth generation depends on aligning these energies with market demands.
