Chart Patterns (Ba Zi)
Structural classifications of a Ba Zi chart by how power sits around the Day Master.
What this means
A Normal pattern balances support and drain and is read through favorable elements. Follow patterns — Follow Wealth, Follow Officer, Follow Output — arise when the Day Master is too weak to stand and surrenders to the dominant force; the Dominant pattern is the mirror case, a Day Master so strong the chart serves it. The pattern decides which elements help, and advice that fits a Normal chart can invert for a Follow one.
