劫财 · Rob Wealth

jiécái · the same element as your Day Master, of the opposite polarity

劫财 Rob Wealth, jiécái, is one of the Ten Gods of BaZi: the name for a stem of the same element as your Day Master, with the opposite polarity. For a 辛 Yin Metal Day Master, that stem is 庚 Yang Metal.

The Ten Gods are not deities. They are the ten possible relationships between your Day Master and any other stem, named for what that relationship does.

A peer who also competes. Traditionally read as drive, rivalry and shared resources: energy that can support you or pull against you.

How it is worked out

Metal is the same element as Metal, and 庚 is Yang against a Yin Day Master, so the relationship is Rob Wealth. Had the stem been 辛 Yin Metal, the same relation with matching polarity would be 比肩 Companion instead.

Where you meet it

• Above each pillar in the Pro chart view, naming that stem’s relationship to you.
• On Luck Pillars and annual years, where each decade and year brings its own stem.
• Inside branches, through their hidden stems.

No Ten God is good or bad on its own. What matters is whether the element it brings is one your chart wants, which is a question about the whole chart and not about the label.
