Mediation Method
Method
- Mediating conflict
- Linking the flow
- A bridge of production
In brief
A mediating method that links two energies locked in conflict.
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.
The middle force illustrates mediation between two forces. Application depends on the chart’s conflict and other useful-element conditions.
What is the Mediation Method?
Mediation (通關) applies when two elements in the chart control each other and stand in taut opposition: the element that bridges (通) between them becomes the Useful God. For example, when Metal and Wood contend at similar strength, the Water between them becomes the mediating Useful God, resolving the flow as Metal-produces-Water and Water-produces-Wood. It holds only when the two energies are evenly matched; if one is weak, Support-Restraint applies instead.
How to read it
Mediation holds only when two energies stand evenly matched — if one is weak, Support-Restraint comes first.
