Illness & Cure Method

Method

In brief

A method that finds the chart's 'illness' and uses the energy that cures it.

Targeted adjustment

A conceptual illustration of traditional Bazi, not a personal useful element, score or measured element ratio. The useful element is not simply the least abundant element.

Disease and remedy are traditional metaphors. The current calculation checks a supporting adjustment, not an automatic replacement of the primary useful element.

What is the Illness & Cure Method?

Illness-Cure (病藥) first finds the greatest flaw that breaks the chart's balance (the 'illness'), then takes the element that removes it (the 'cure') as the Useful God. In a chart with a clear illness, luck that brings the cure is said to bring great flourishing, and that cure is also the Favorable God. The greater the illness, the greater the cure's effect.

How to read it

The greater the illness, the greater the cure's effect — the cure's luck is worth waiting for.
