Friend & Rob Wealth

Definition

Peers share the Day Master’s element and are used for equals, partners, parallel effort and resource allocation. They can support the reference stem but also control the same Wealth element, giving both cooperative and competitive imagery. Rob Wealth is a relationship label, not an accusation of theft.

Friend and Rob Wealth share the Day Master’s element. Matching polarity gives Friend and opposite polarity Rob Wealth. Jia sees Jia as Friend and Yi as Rob Wealth; Yi sees Yi as Friend and Jia as Rob Wealth. Together they form the Peer group.

Rules & examples

For Jia, Yi hidden in Mao is Rob Wealth. Yin contains Jia, Bing and Wu, labelled Friend, Eating God and Indirect Wealth. A branch can therefore contain several Ten Gods. Expand its hidden stems before tracing Peer, Output and Wealth relationships.

Compare weak Jia with abundant earth: additional Wood peers may increase the capacity to share resource management. With strongly rooted Jia, much wood and little earth, added wood highlights allocation and competition. Ask what the added element changes rather than ranking peer counts.

Jia/Jia are mutually Friend; Jia/Yi are mutually Rob Wealth. These can frame parallel roles or shared work, while each natal setting determines what that same-element force does for each person.
