1. Why are the eight characters opposite of the preferred gods
The 八字喜用神 is a concept that many people will come across when they are performing the Eight Character Numerology Analysis. It refers to finding the elements that are suitable for strengthening and balancing the natal chart based on the five elements in the natal chart. The Hi-Us Shen plays an important role in Bazi numerology and can provide us with valuable guidance and assistance. However, why are the Favorable Deities of the Eight Characters often the opposite of what they actually are? This question will be discussed next.
We need to understand the basic principles of the Eight Character Favorable Usage Deity (喜用神). According to the relationship between the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches and the Five Elements in the Eight Character Chart, each person's chart will have one or more Hi-Users. The Favorable Deity enhances the favorable elements in the chart and acts as a regulator to make the chart more balanced. For example, a person who has a lot of Wood in his Natal Chart, Wood enhances his ability and health, so the Fire element is his Favorable God. On the contrary, the contraindications restrain and weaken the presence of unfavorable elements in the natal chart.
In practice, we often find situations in which the Favorable Use Deity of the eight characters is opposite to the actual situation. This may be due to several reasons.
It is because of the influence of personal creation and fortune. Everyone's destiny is affected by many factors, including personal efforts, opportunities, environment and so on. The eight destiny plate is only one of the factors, the information it provides can not completely determine a person's fate. Even if a person has a theoretically appropriate Favorable Deity, in practice he or she may find that it does not bring him or her the expected good fortune. This is because a person's growth and development is multi-faceted, and cannot rely solely on one element of the natal chart.
It is because the selection of the Favorable Use Deity for the eight characters is sometimes biased. When determining the Favorable Deity, the fortune teller needs to consider various factors, including the relationship between the five elements, the month, year, day and time. Due to differences in personal ability and experience, there is no guarantee that each selection will be completely accurate. Sometimes, the determined preferred gods may not match the actual situation, resulting in the results of the eight-character analysis contradicting the reality.
The influence of 八字喜用神 on a person is relative and not absolute. Even if an element is a person's Favorable God, it may produce different effects in specific situations. For example, for a person who has a lot of Water in his Natal Chart, Water can represent wealth and therefore Earth is his Favorite God. If the person is in an environment that is already saturated with Water, then the addition of the Earth element may not have the desired effect. Therefore, the discrepancy between the preferred deity and the actual situation may sometimes be due to the factors of the environment that play a disturbing role for it.
It's important to note that the Favorable and Useful Deities of the Eight Characteristics is only a tool of numerology, and it does not determine our destiny. Whether it's a favorite or a taboo, our fate depends on our own efforts and choices. Numerology only provides us with a reference to help us better understand ourselves and grasp the opportunities.
The phenomenon of the opposite of actual situation in horoscope may be due to a combination of factors. Personal creation and fortune, selection bias, environmental influences, and limitations of numerology may be among the reasons. We need to approach numerology with precision and not rely on it too much. The important thing is to believe in your own efforts and wisdom and work hard to create a better future for yourself.

2, the eight characters are all happy with the God is not necessarily good
We often hear people talk about the gods of good fortune in the eight characters, and it is said that the gods of good fortune is to bring good luck and smooth nobleman. There is a view that having a lot of favorable deities in the eight characters doesn't necessarily mean that everything is going well and good luck is in the air. This view aroused my interest, and I started to think about the true meaning of the Happiness Degrees in the Eight Characteristics.
The Favorable and Useful Deities in the Chinese character chart represent a person's energy and resources. The Favorable and Useful Deities are the elements in the Five Elements of the Eight Characteristics that are strong and vigorous at the time of birth, and represent the support and energy needed for a person's development and success. If all the elements in a person's Bazi are Hi-User Deities, it means that the person cannot get help and support from other elements. This over-reliance on one element is not conducive to a person's overall development and growth.
The Hi-User Deity in the horoscope does not necessarily mean luck and good fortune. Although the Favorable Deity represents good fortune and nobility, it does not mean that good luck will only come when the Favorable Deity is present. Luck does not only depend on the Favorable Deity in the Eight Characteristics, but also relates to other factors such as the year, month and place. Having a lot of Hi-Us Shen in one's Bazi does not necessarily bring good luck; on the contrary, over-reliance on the Hi-Us Shen may lead to imbalance and instability in one's fortune.
The Favorable Degrees in the horoscope are not constant. Depending on the individual's fortune and timing, the Favorable and Useful Deities will also change. If a person has more than one Hi-Us Shen in the 八字 at a certain stage, it may be because he needs the support of these elements at that stage, but the role of these Hi-Us Shens will also change as the timing changes. Therefore, having multiple Hi-Us Shen does not mean that the fortune is stable for a long time, but needs to be analyzed and interpreted on a case-by-case basis.
The Favorable Deity in the horoscope is just a kind of assistance on the path of life. Though the Hi-Us Shen has an important role to play in the horoscope, it does not determine one's fate and future. A person's achievement and happiness do not depend entirely on the Hi-Us Shen in the Chinese character chart, but are also related to factors such as his efforts, intelligence and opportunities. The Hi-Usage Deity is just a beam of light on the path of life, providing some help and guidance to people in the process of pursuing their goals and realizing their dreams.
Having all the Favorable Deities in the horoscope does not necessarily mean good luck and smooth sailing. Over-reliance on the Favorable Degrees may affect a person's overall development and growth, while the Favorable Degrees are only a kind of assistance and cannot determine the destiny and future direction. Therefore, when we look at the Hi-Us Shen in the eight characters, we should take other factors into consideration and make a comprehensive analysis and interpretation, rather than just focusing on the existence of the Hi-Us Shen. On the road of life, we also need to use our own efforts and wisdom to seize opportunities and pursue our dreams.
