Are There Signs of Studying Medicine?

In Taiwan, medicine can be called the holy grail of exams, but very few people get into medical school. Is there a special chart pattern for getting into medicine?

In Zi Wei Dou Shu, common patterns for being good at study include the "陽梁昌祿 pattern" (Sun, Liang, Chang and Lu), the "機陰 pattern" (Ji and Yin) and the "水澄桂萼 pattern" (clear water, osmanthus calyx)... but all of these need "Ke stars" and 昌曲 (Chang Qu) to trigger them before they gain their power.

Below is a doctor's chart; let's analyze from Dou Shu what's special about it.

Where the chart's pattern lies

化祿 ●

化祿 ● concentrate in the 酉 Palace, which sees 天鉞 (Tian Yue), 祿存 (Lu Cun) and 昌曲

化科 △

The 丑 Palace sees 3 化科 △, and its stem 己 also makes 天梁 (Tian Liang) become 化科, so it can be called where the Ke stars concentrate

化忌 ×

亥, 卯 and 未 all receive the force of 化忌 ×, but see no malefics and no evil patterns, so we don't read them negatively

Taken together, 天梁 in the 丑 Palace, besides the power of 化祿 ●, is also supported by the power of 化科 △. Helped by 昌曲, 天鉞 and 祿存, it forms the "陽梁昌祿 pattern."

The 陽梁昌祿 pattern

"陽梁昌祿," as the name says, gathers 太陽 (Tai Yang), 天梁, 文昌 (Wen Chang) and 化祿 (or 祿存).

From the 丑 Palace: 太陽 in 巳 is exalted and sits with 祿存; 太陽 in 酉 is exalted and sits with 天鉞; 天梁 in 丑 self-transforms into 化科 and sits with 昌曲. The "陽梁昌祿 pattern" is brought out to perfection. If 太陽 and 太陰 (Tai Yin) were neutral or weak, the pattern's power would be discounted, but it could still be seen as a pattern for being good at study; all the more so here, where the "陽梁昌祿 pattern" shows its power. So I believe studying is fairly easy for him.

Conclusion

In my experience, people with the "陽梁昌祿" pattern are often found working as doctors. Perhaps this relates to the universal love of 太陽 and the giving, helping-the-many nature of 天梁.
