More on 天梁: Religious Fraud
AI translated from the original Chinese.
A while ago I asked the members of my fan page what kinds of case analyses they'd like to see. Some wanted occupations, others turning points in life. But those topics are too broad to discuss in a focused way, so after thinking it over, I decided to keep writing about 天梁 (Tian Liang) and discuss its other attributes.
A strong 天梁 makes lottery wins likely, but does 天梁 have no other meaning? Of course it does.
The five Confucian virtues, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, can be matched with the Five Elements, as follows:
- The benevolent are upright: Wood.
- The righteous are firm: Metal.
- The proper are clear: Fire.
- The wise are perceptive: Water.
- Earth is steadfast: trustworthiness.
天梁, Yang Earth, naturally corresponds to "trustworthiness" among the five virtues. So naturally, a poor 天梁 speaks of being "untrustworthy," and by extension, of fraud. Let's look at the following fraud case.
Case Summary
This is a real case, but since it involves privacy and a criminal case, the birth data is withheld.
This case is one of religious fraud. After learning some religious rites, in his thirties the subject took money from followers on the pretext of adjusting their energy, with inappropriate physical contact. He was later sued, prosecuted and convicted; besides paying compensation, he served time in prison. He has since been released and for now sells clothing and accessories online.
The original chart:
As usual, transformed:
The main star 天梁 in 辰
- Born in a 壬戌 year, zodiac sign Dog; in the first chart the palace is empty, so the 天梁 opposite is taken as his main star.
- 天梁 in 辰 sees 地空 (Di Kong): 天梁, an Earth star, most fears 空劫 (Kong Jie); when Earth is empty, it collapses, so this 天梁 is of poor quality.
- 天梁 in 辰 sees 陰煞 (Yin Sha): in terms of people, 陰煞 speaks of backstabbers. Generally, when the subject's main star carries 陰煞, they are usually the backstabber for others, and of course also run into backstabbers themselves.
The 太歲 palace 戌
- In the first chart the 戌 Palace is empty, born with 鈴星 (Ling Xing) and 陀羅 (Tuo Luo), both Yin; poor.
- In the second chart the 戌 Palace has 太陽 (Tai Yang). 太陽 + 鈴星 is one of the "Ten Evils." A Ten Evils chart often ignores social and moral constraints and acts perversely.
- 太陽 + 陀羅 is "people leave, money scatters": calculating about money, prone to disputes with others over money that end badly.
天梁 falling in 申
- 天同 (Tian Tong) and 天梁 in 申, a strong palace.
- 天同 and 天梁 in 申 sit with 火星 (Huo Xing). Although 天梁 is Earth and doesn't fear 火星, 火星 is still a malefic: an upright, trustworthy appearance concealing malice within.
- The three sides and four directions see 擎羊 (Qing Yang) and 地空. 地空 was discussed above; 擎羊 with 天梁 and 天機 (Tian Ji) forms the evil pattern "天機天梁擎羊會."
- 4 Lu stars concentrated in 申, seeing 3 malefics. In the 7 lottery cases before, 天梁 was strong with few malefics. Here 天梁 is strong but sees 3 malefics, especially coming with the power of 陰煞 from the 辰 Palace. This 天梁 looks honest and loyal, but hides malice within.
Overall Judgment
This person's 天梁 chart sits with 4 Lu: an honest, loyal appearance that easily inspires trust. But with too many malefics, this 天梁 is in fact not good at heart. As said before, Earth is "trustworthiness," so this 天梁 speaks of fraud.
Imprisonment
For imprisonment, several stars deserve attention:
- 廉貞 (Lian Zhen) in 巳, stem 乙: 太陰 (Tai Yin) 化忌 flanks 巳
- 天刑 (Tian Xing) in 寅, stem 壬: 武曲 (Wu Qu) 化忌 clashes with 巳
- 白虎 (Bai Hu) in 午, stem 丙: 廉貞 化忌 sits in 巳
- 官符 (Guan Fu) in 寅, stem 壬: 武曲 化忌 clashes with 巳
All four punishment stars damage the 巳 Palace, and the 巳 Palace is born with 4 Ji stars, so with one careless step, he breaks the law and goes to prison.
The 巳 Palace sees 大耗 (Da Hao): when imprisonment comes, the financial losses will also be extremely severe.
So for this case, one should advise him to walk the right path. 天梁 carries a religious coloring to begin with, and his 天梁 also carries 陰煞, so the religious path is natural for him. But with too many malefics, working in religion makes him prone to criminal offense. So:
Where can this person make money fastest? 天梁: religion.
Is working in religion good for this person? No: it easily leads him to crime.
Many people are born in the same hour, yet each has a different destiny, precisely because of whom we meet in life and what happens as a result. As time passes, people with the same chart naturally drift further and further apart in destiny. Back to this chart: does it necessarily mean religious fraud? Of course not. But if he works in religion, the image of fraud is already there, and the day of criminal offense isn't far off. Had this subject never entered the religious trade and instead made good use of his ability selling clothing and accessories, perhaps there would never have been a day of crime.
Also: the most important reason I bring up this case is to pass a message to readers. Having a religious faith is not a bad thing, but if you meet someone who uses the name of religion, claims to adjust your body, mind and spirit, and then charges high fees, please be careful that you aren't stepping onto the road of religious fraud.
Everyone has moments of vulnerability, and in those moments there are many channels for help. Free ones, such as calling 1925, 1980 or 1995 (Taiwan's helplines), can provide appropriate help when you're struggling; if you can afford it, consider seeing a counselor. I believe professional help will always be more useful than religious luck-changing.
