Earthly Branch Harms- You-Xu Harm

You is cold, strong yin metal. Xu is dry yang earth and also the fire storage. Because of this, the You-Xu harm can be read as a struggle between cold and heat in terms of climate, and at its core it is a struggle between fire and metal.

In most cases, Xu Earth harms You Metal more strongly, while You Metal also damages Ding Fire inside Xu. When Wu Fire, Si Fire, Yin Wood, or Mao Wood appears in the chart, fire becomes stronger, and Xu Earth harms You Metal more heavily. When You Metal is strong and supported by damp earth such as Chou Earth or Chen Earth, You Metal can also increase its damage to Ding Fire inside Xu.

When the Shen-You-Xu three-meeting metal structure forms, the force of the You-Xu harm becomes much weaker, but it does not disappear completely. If You or Xu appears again in annual or luck cycles, the harm may still be triggered.

The You-Xu harm is damage between solid, tangible elements. Its events are often practical, deeper in impact, and more noticeable in movement or disruption.

When Xu Earth is harmed, it may show as chronic spleen-stomach issues or skin disease. When You Metal is harmed, it may bring lung or respiratory problems, such as rhinitis or asthma. The You-Xu harm can also affect the head and facial organs. In some charts of people who are deaf, mute, or blind, the You-Xu harm may be present.

In zodiac compatibility, the You-Xu harm is traditionally considered unfavorable for marriage. When the You-Xu harm appears in the marriage palace of a chart, it can also show mutual harm between spouses, often starting with arguments.

If a double harm forms, such as two Xu branches harming one You branch, or two You branches harming one Xu branch, and You or Xu is in the day branch, the relationship is more likely to break down.

You Metal represents metal and can be associated with car wheels. Xu Earth hides fire, metal, and earth, and can represent a complex assembled structure. Because of this, the You-Xu harm can carry images of car collisions, traffic accidents, tire explosions, scratches, or fire. People with the You-Xu harm in the chart should pay attention to safety when You or Xu appears in annual or monthly luck.

For family relationships, Xu is the fire storage and You is metal, so the You-Xu harm carries the image of fire overcoming metal. If the chart lacks proper climate adjustment, the related family member may be more prone to lung disease.
