Officer and Killings in Storage: Five Source Groups and Tomb Conventions
Officer (the role family that controls the birth-day element, often interpreted through rules and demands) and Killings in Storage links an authority stem with a particular storage branch in one pillar. Storage is a traditional relation of gathering or holding, not a grave or the disappearance of authority. The reference stem, authority role and storage convention all matter.
How do the five groups split into Officer and Killings?
The source groups two stems of each phase together. This table separates their polarity (whether a symbol is classified as yin or yang) roles. Check the complete pillar rather than merely the presence of Chou, Chen, Wei or Xu.
| Reference group | Source pillar | For first stem | For second stem | Storage context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 甲乙 | 辛丑 | Xin is Jia’s Officer | Xin is Yi’s Killings | Metal at Chou |
| 丙丁 | 壬辰 | Ren is Bing’s Killings | Ren is Ding’s Officer | Water at Chen |
| 戊己 | 乙未 | Yi is Wu’s Officer | Yi is Ji’s Killings | Wood at Wei |
| 庚辛 | 丙戌 | Bing is Geng’s Killings | Bing is Xin’s Officer | Fire at Xu |
| 壬癸 | 戊辰 | Wu is Ren’s Killings | Wu is Gui’s Officer | Earth assigned to Chen here |
Why can Xin’s Tomb be Chen while this table uses Xin-Chou?
Elemental Metal storage is commonly Chou, while Xin’s individual Tomb is Chen under forward Yang/reverse Yin Life Stages. Similarly, elemental Wood storage is Wei but Yi’s own Tomb is Xu. Different references are not automatically a typo in one rule.
Earth especially requires a declared convention. This passage places Wu at Chen storage; with Wu following Bing in Life Stages, Wu’s Tomb is Xu and Chen is Crown. Do not mix those conventions while claiming they are one table.
What follows after Jia meets Xin-Chou?
Xin is Jia’s Officer, and Chou contains Ji, Gui and Xin, providing an Officer root alongside Wealth (the role family controlled by the birth-day element, often interpreted through resources and practical demands) and Resource (the role family that supports the birth-day element, often interpreted through learning and support) clues. A root does not establish appropriate strength; season, Jia’s support and other relations still matter.
If Wei clashes with Chou, identify that contact first. It does not automatically open an Officer treasury and produce promotion. The effect depends on what support and restraint the contact changes.
Does storage mean a career ends or health suffers?
The name cannot establish either. Authority and storage symbolism is distinct from actual career or health information; historical achievement claims are not modern ability measures.
The useful result is a clear five-group lookup and the ability to notice mixed storage conventions. Maverick is an old directory alias; the underlying Sha refers to Seven Killings (a traditional role associated with challenge, pressure and decisive action), not a diagnosis of rebellious personality.
