Earthly Branch Harms- Zi-Wei Harm
The Zi-Wei harm is a branch harm between Zi Water and Wei Earth. At its core, it is a struggle between earth and water.
Detailed Explanation
The principle behind the Zi-Wei harm
A branch harm mainly affects health, family relationships, marriage, and other life conditions. It does not directly decide a person’s level of wealth or status. Harm works as hidden damage between the hidden stems, so it may not look obvious on the surface, but its real effect can be no weaker than a punishment or clash.
The Zi-Wei harm comes from six-combinations being broken by six-clashes: Zi and Chou form a combination, but Wei clashes with Chou; Wu and Wei form a combination, but Zi clashes with Wu. Because of this, Zi and Wei form a harm. The effect is strongest when Zi and Wei are next to each other. If they are far apart, the force is weaker. If the natal chart already contains Zi or Wei, and annual or luck cycles bring the other branch, the harm can also be triggered.
The struggle between earth and water
Zi Water contains only Gui Water as its hidden stem, so its water energy is pure and strong. Wei Earth hides Yi Wood, Ding Fire, and Ji Earth, with its energy ultimately gathering into earth. When Zi Water meets Wei Earth, it forms a struggle between earth and water.
After the harm forms, Zi Water is damaged, Ji Earth inside Wei is weakened, and Ding Fire is also overcome by Zi Water. These damaged elements then connect to health, family relationships, and other life areas.
Main effects
The Zi-Wei harm can bring physical injury, accidents, or sudden health issues. In a woman’s chart, it may be unfavorable for children and childbirth, and may show signs related to first sexual experience, miscarriage, or spleen-stomach issues.
When the Zi-Wei harm appears in the marriage palace, it can affect the relationship between spouses. Once conflict appears, the two sides may separate quickly, turn against each other, and find it difficult to remain friends after a breakup. If Zi or Wei also corresponds to fierce stars such as Yang Blade, the effect can be heavier, and may even involve domestic violence or health problems.
