In modern civilized society, there are many reasons people may become prone to depression. When we see such a chart, we must speak especially carefully and mind our words. After all, a chart reading affects the person who asks.
Ms. L has had some emotional struggles for many years, but in front of others she always appears strong. What's going on in her chart?
Charts prone to depression are mainly governed by 廉貞 (Lian Zhen) or 巨門 (Ju Men). Illness arises from 破軍 (Po Jun).
For illness, look at 破軍
- 破軍 in 巳, stem 己, has 化祿 ● concentrated and is quite strong, but it makes 文曲 (Wen Qu) become 化忌 × in 亥
- 破軍's Health Palace is in 子, stem 丙, making 廉貞 become 化忌 ×. This 廉貞 化忌 × has a stronger influence, because 廉貞 and 七殺 (Qi Sha) in 丑 are weak and resist 化忌 poorly. Fortunately, in the three sides and four directions there's no direct Ji-star strike, so we needn't see it as too ominous.
Since what 破軍 damages has no especially strong effect, Ms. L's tendency to depression isn't innate.
廉貞 and 巨門
- 廉貞 in 丑 shares the palace with 七殺, somewhat weak. Its stem 丁 makes 巨門 become 化忌 ×. 巨門 shows up weak in 戌 and sits with 火星 (Huo Xing). The problem lies with 巨門.
- 巨門 in 戌, stem 甲, makes 太陽 (Tai Yang) become 化忌 ×, clashing from 午 into 戌 and doing damage. 巨門 and 火星 are in a clashing relationship, and there's also the double 化忌 damage from 廉貞 and 巨門. So Ms. L's tendency to depression comes from 巨門.
- 巨門 sits with 陰煞 (Yin Sha) and 大耗 (Da Hao). 陰煞 brings backstabbers; 大耗 brings financial loss. Ms. L's 巨門 comes with "falling in with the wrong people" and "losing money."
So Ms. L's tendency to depression comes from outside pressure. If someone linked to 巨門 appears in her life, 巨門 is triggered, and depressed feelings follow immediately.
Conclusion
When a reading touches on illness, one should speak conservatively. After all, we're not doctors and have no standing to diagnose any condition. So when discussing illness from a chart, what to emphasize is the person's physical weak points, asking them to pay more attention to the health of those areas. If an illness has already developed, we must urge follow-up treatment, and not say more or make reckless judgments.
