There are two types of "luck period"-- the "10-years luck" (10YL) and "annual luck" (AL). 10YL is calculated in terms of one's birth month, which is different from person to person. 10YL provides the backdrops or "climate" of one's luck within that 10-years period.
Annual luck means one's overall luck for current year. In Bazi, everyone shares the same AL. For example, current year 2017 is ding-you (fire-rooster) year. Every person in the world is subject to the influences of the same annual luck of ding-you. If fire and metal are favorable to one's chart, one will enjoy better luck within 2017. If otherwise, one's luck will be below average. The important thing about AL is: Any fortune or misfortune will be triggered by AL because it brings the favorable or unfavorable elements to the chart.
In this post, we will keep it simple by focusing on how annual luck affects your luck:
1. AL "fan-yin" or "fu-yin" 10YL: "Fan-yin" means stem clashing stem and branch clashing branch between two pillars. "Fu-yin" means two identical pillars. Fan-yin and fu-yin usually are unfavorable to the daymaster (DM) and jinx his/her close relatives.
2. Strong DM with AL brings in wealth, power and output (cai, guan and shi-shang) elements means favorable fortune for the year. But if AL brings in resource and/ or peer (yin or bi-jian) elements, it means misfortune for the year.
3. Weak DM with AL brings in resource and/ or peer (yin and bi-jian) elements means favorable fortune for the year. But if AL brings in wealth, power and/ or output (cai, guan and shi-shang) elements, it means misfortune for the year.
4. 10YL is favorable with AL brings in zheng-cai (+wealth), zheng-guan (+power), zheng-yin (+resource), shi-shen (-output), and/ or bi-jian (-peer), means current year fortune will be enhanced even further. If AL brings in jie-cai (+peer), qi-sha (-power), pian-yin (-resource) and/ or shang-guan (+output), means current year fortune will be mixed with both good and bad fortune.
5. 10YL is unfavorable with AL brings in zheng-cai (+wealth), zheng-guan (+power), zheng-yin (+resource), shi-shen (-output), and/ or bi-jian (-peer), means current year fortune will have minor fortunes but major mishaps. If AL brings in jie-cai (+peer), qi-sha (-power), pian-yin (-resource) and/ or shang-guan (+output), means current year fortune will be very bad.
6. AL stem/ branch combine with day pillar is generally considered good luck for the year. AL fan-yin (clashing stems and branches) or fu-yin (identical pillars) day-pillar is generally negative for DM because it affects DM and the spouse palace directly. Usually this means something going on with marital relationship or personal sickness/ disaster.
7. The stem and branch of AL are favorable elements ("yong-shen") of the natal chart would imply the year will be auspicious or fortunate. If unfavorable ("ji-shen"), the year will be below average or unfortunate.
Anyway, the above is a rough guideline for making annual luck interpretations. You still have to take the whole chart and both luck periods into consideration to make more accurate predictions.
