After a few conceptual [read: philosophical "preaching" :)] posts, you must be wondering when's KE gonna get practical huh?
Ok, let's talk about "wealth countering resource". 1st thing: you must know (if not already), that everything in BaZi (and Chinese Metaphysics) is linked via the 5 element cycle. Basically water produces wood (like watering plants) which produces fire (when burnt), then becomes earth (ie. ash). Earth produces metal (like when mined) and metal is used to "collect" water. And the cycle continues. It can start at any point and link it from there.
Some of you may know the concept of DayMaster...ie. the reference point of YOU as a person in the BaZi chart. So your DayMaster represents YOU in yr BaZi chart and is represented by any of the 5 elements. Eg. if your DayMaster is water (ie. you're a water person), what you produce is wood, what you control is fire (water puts out fire). What produces/supports you is metal and what controls you is earth (earth dams/direct water).
What you control is called your wealth (can be real $$, assets & many more things). For a water person, this wealth is fire. What produces/supports you is resource. In this case resource is metal. So when "wealth counters resource" in this case is fire melting metal! (follow thru the sequence if you're unsure). Makes sense?
So if we can't control wealth (ie. too much of the wealth element is present) then usually resource is compromised. What r examples of resource? Well the most obvious is health and happiness. This is epitomised by the saying wise Chinese saying "too much wealth compromises health"! A manifestation can be a person who works hards constantly but is always sickly or unhappy. I'm sure you've witnessed this in your life happening to you or around you. So what's the BaZi solution in this case? Simple: enjoy life, get enough rest and know for a FACT that $$ isn't gonna buy happiness for this individual. Practical heh?
BaZi really is a philosophy on life. The solutions are there when u understand the links. Of course, at times the concepts are not so obvious. Eg. do you know that the same "wealth counter resource" principle can explain wife & monster-in-law type tussles....?!
