I use a metaphorical sentence in the title, it means that: the four pillars contain all possibilities,  and the passing time, activate and trigger these things. Let’s give an example.

Male, born at 4:50 on August 10, 1976

LuMing Chart:

DM甲 born in MC申, 申 is 7K, can represent career, power. We can find that this person will spend most of his time and energy on his career. He has high ideals and ambitions.

But is his career very good?

You can find 丙丙丙午  in the four pillars. They have a great impact on MC. 丙 is EG, when it becomes a bad God, it represents disobedience, rebellion. So we can infer that he will start his own business instead of working for others. In fact, he doesn’t have a stable job. He has been doing business, but it is not very good.

This kind of character obviously affected his destiny, and his character determines his destny. 

Then, we can judge whether it is good luck or bad luck according to the relationship between the Heavenly Systems and the Earthly Branches every year.

Once someone’s genes contain something, it will appear slowly. And time is the induction switch.

In 2016 丙申, The contradiction of the four pillars reappeared. The battle between Fire and Metal. The truth is that in 2016, he lost a lot of money due to traffic accidents.
