Vernacular Commentary
of Ten Heavenly Stems Destiny Main

1. Original Destiny Source Deity: Jia Wood

【Master Si-Ming Huang Vernacular Commentary】

[Original Destiny Source Deity: Jia Wood]
It is also named as the ‘day source’, ‘destiny main’ or ‘source deity’, the core of ‘four pillars BaZi’. It is determined by the birth day. If you try to read a BaZi and there is confusion or a mistake with the birth hour, you can still attempt to make some predictions. However, if there’s a mistake with regard to the birth day, you might as well give up! 
So remember, the ‘original destiny source deity’ is the heavenly stem of the birth day, or the heavenly stem on the day pillar. Since the [original destiny source deity] is also called the day main, it represents a person’s most intrinsic and fundamental ‘quality and nature’. Psychologically speaking, it is the so-called ‘sub character’ or the ‘subconscious mind-set’; scientifically speaking, it is the person’s basic ‘magnetic field or magnetism’.

In the destiny case, your [Original Destiny Source Deity as Jia], represents: Yang wood, big tree. It symbolizes the will to grow, develop and strive; its signs being a big tree or a pillar. (Cancer is the best matching horoscope.)

【Strengths】

Those who have Jia Wood as their [Original Destiny Source Deity] would have a nature similar to that of a big tree.  A tree always grows and reaches to the sky; therefore he who has Jia Wood as his [Original Destiny Source Deity] always wants to improve himself and his present condition for further and greater development. He always follows his own schedules and knows well how to plan in advance.

Like a tree digging into the ground firmly with its roots to brave the strong winds, this type of person is persistent and unbending with an iron will. He will not quit easily in the face of obstacles.

Generally speaking, he who has Jia as his [original destiny source deity] is just and detests indirect approaches. He prizes morals and ‘face’; regards ‘being stable and down-to-earth’ as his motto. He takes his responsibility towards his family seriously, trying his best to shelter them like a big tree.

Therefore, he will not be frivolous in behavior or sloppy at work. No matter what he does, he will be responsible, open, immune to the temptations of sweet-talks. He can also be considerate and will not turn a blind eye to someone who is in trouble but he can be intrusive sometimes.

【Weakness】

He ranks second in terms of being pig-headed. If there’s ‘PianYin’ which is also overpowering in his destiny case, when depression hits, he would rank first in being suicidal!

His weaknesses are: stubbornness, inability to compromise and lack of mental agility. Just like a tree rooted in the ground and incapable of quick transformation, he cannot play situations by ear and doesn’t adjust to new environments well. Worst of all, he might break because he won’t bend! Because he’s not soft enough, he tends to become a target of jealous attacks at the work place.

※※ Master Huang’s Reminding ※※
Though the destiny main is Jia Wood with the above mentioned big tree tending to ‘static’ features, if your destiny mold is tending to dynamic horoscopes, such as: ‘Qi Sha、Shang Guan、Jie Cai、Pian Cai’ etc. Perhaps it will present ‘Dual conflicts personality’! Or its destiny case appears overpowering、thorough stem horoscopes; it means if the same horoscope appears over twice, then, the horoscope’s characteristics would be apparently vivid. The destiny main originality becomes recessive features without obvious notice.
