Ten Gods

Rob Wealth (劫财)

Rob Wealth (劫财) is one of the Ten Gods — labels for how each stem relates to your Day Master. It covers drive, rivalry, boldness and shared risk.

01

Definition of Rob Wealth (劫财)

Rob Wealth (劫财) is the stem whose element is same element as the Day Master, opposite polarity. The name only describes a relation; it changes with the Day Master. Its core themes are drive, rivalry, boldness and shared risk.

Every Ten God belongs to one of five families: companions, output, wealth, officer and resource. Rob Wealth (劫财) is in the companion family together with Friend (比肩); the two differ only by polarity.

03

Constructive and excessive expressions

  • Constructive: courage, quick action, persuasive energy in groups.
  • In excess or poorly balanced: impulsive spending or risk-taking, conflict with partners.

Which expression applies depends on balance: a Ten God that supplies what the Day Master lacks is usually read constructively; one that piles onto an already heavy side is read as excess.

Rob Wealth (劫财) in luck and annual pillars

A Ten God does not have to be in the natal chart to matter. When a luck pillar or annual pillar brings Rob Wealth (劫财), its themes — drive, rivalry, boldness and shared risk — come forward for that period. The calculator labels the Ten God of every luck pillar and of the annual pillar you select.

  • If the natal chart lacks Rob Wealth (劫财), a period that brings it is often read as introducing that theme.
  • If the natal chart already has plenty, the same period can tip it into excess.
  • Combinations or clashes between the incoming stem and natal stems modify how strongly it acts.

08

Questions for reflection

  • Where in your life do the themes of drive, rivalry, boldness and shared risk show up most clearly?
  • When does it feel constructive (courage, quick action, persuasive energy in groups) and when does it tip into impulsive spending or risk-taking, conflict with partners?
  • How does Friend (比肩) — the same family with opposite polarity — compare in your experience?

09

Common misreading

The name sounds alarming, but it is simply a sibling-type star; for a weak Day Master it is often supportive.

Ten God names come from classical Chinese and sound dramatic in translation. Read them as labels of relations, then look at balance and the luck pillars before drawing any conclusion.
