Ken's Cyber Cave: self-torture

Previous post derives self-penalties by matching branch 3-unities (San-he) to 3-meetings (San-hui). This post uses branch groups to locate self-penalties.

Classic Bazi segregates 12 branch elements into 3 groups:

4 cardinal or peach-blossom elements
-- zi, wu, mao and you
4 sub-cardinal or traveling horses elements
-- yin, shen, si and hai
4 storage or tomb elements
-- chen, xu, chou and wei

From the above, we have 3-penalties

zi-mao penalty
yin-shen-si 3-penalties
xu-chou-wei 3-penalties

The branch elements that are missing in these 3-penalties actions become self-penalty when running into identical element.

Self-Penalties:

Chen-chen
You-you
Wu-wu
Hai-hai

Don't overlook the destructive power and influence of self-penalty. It could be as serious as other penalties. Out of the 4 self-penalties, wu, you and hai self-penalties are most serious because:

Wu-fire is the yang-knife (羊刃) of bing-fire
You-metal is the yang-knife of geng-metal
Hai-water is the yang-knife of gui-water

Self-penalty becomes serious matter when the corresponding stem showing up in the stem level, especially if the stem is also the daymaster (DM).

Self-penalty could mean:

self-inflicted pain/ injury
self-sabotage
addiction
depression
worrisome
meddlesome
petty
cannot let go of trivial matters

If the self-penalty element is also the yang-knife of the DM, s/he may have health problems (self-inflicted, psychosomatic or psychological), suicidal due to depression, love-sickness depression and the likes.

Self-penalty is also one of the causes of depression.

My articles on Bazi penalties are the most read articles. Here is more info on self-penalties.

Self-penalties are generated from the intersections of san-he (3-unities) and san-hui (3-meetings) combinations.

1. Hai-hai self-penalty
derived from: hai-mao-wei and hai-zi-chou
-- water is too strong.
-- hurt by water, drowning, suicide by jumping into water

2. Chen-chen self-penalty
derived from: shen-zi-chen and yin-mao-chen
-- earth is too strong.
