However, these annual energies have different effects on the ten possible daymasters (DM). For examples, wood energy is a power element to an earth DM, wealth element to a metal DM, resource element to a fire DM and output element to a water DM and peer element to a wood DM.
Hence, to unlock the predictions about a new annual luck pillar for a person, the first step is to translate the pillar element (e.g., wood, fire, etc.) into transformation stars or "10-gods".
The transformation star in the annual luck stem level indicates what will happen that is visible by the public. It does not indicate positivity or negativity. The branch level transformation star will reflect the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of the likely event.
Generally speaking, if the annual luck branch is the favorable element ("useful element") of the chart, this year will be good for the person. If unfavorable, this year will be below average.
Annual luck focus is on the stem whereas 10-years-luck is on the branch for making predictions. Annual luck is more critical because it is the "final mile" of luck delivery mechanism. It is also seen as the "trigger" of the event, whether good or bad.
PREDICTIONS BASED ON ANNUAL LUCK STEM
1. When annual luck stem is peer star (bi-jian/ jie-cai) and is favorable, DM will get help from peers, coworkers, friends and sibling. If unfavorable, DM will get lawsuit, lose wealth and bickering due to the same people above. Also DM may jinx wife and/or father.
2. When annual luck stem is resource star (zheng-yin/ pian-yin), DM will encounter events represented by resource star, such as study, work, reputation, documents/ contracts, housing, sickness, wealth luck and etc.
3. When annual luck stem is wealth star (zheng-cai/ pian-cai), DM will see events represented by wealth star, such as money/ finance, wife, father, health (sickness/ injury), work, marital/ relationship problems.
4. When annual luck stem is power star (zheng-guan/ qi-sha), DM will run into events represented by power star, such as superior/ boss, work, father, husband, career, reputation, legal matters, sickness, injury and etc.
5. When annual luck stem is output star (shang-guan/ shi-shen), DM will handle events represented by output star, such as displaying of talents like dancing, performance, art exhibition, giving speeches, publishing; children, employees, investment, planning, illness/ injury, legal problems, sickness, injury and etc.
For more accurate predictions, the annual pillar should be read with the 10-year-luck pillar and natal chart together.
