Pattern Analysis
1. Seven Killings Generate Seal
- Day Master (Ri Zhu) Ding Fire, born in Zi month (Water flourishing)
- Ren Water Seven Killings transparent in the hour stem
- Gui Water Indirect Seal (Pian Yin) transparent in the year stem
- Forms a flow chain: Seven Killings → Seal → Body
Seven Killings generate Seal presides over supreme power, nobility beyond words

Seven Killings are originally what restrains me (pressure), but the Seal Stars (Yin Xing) (Gui Water) mediate:
- Seven Killings (Ren) → Seal (Gui) → Body (Ding)
- The pressure of the Seven Killings becomes the force of authority

Insights
Mao's chart offers these insights for modern BaZi students:
- Seven Killings are not to be feared — with the Seal mediating, Seven Killings become authority
- Climatic Balance (Tiao Hou) comes first — Ding Fire born in winter, getting Bing is most noble
- Pattern (Ge Ju) is more important than Useful God (Yong Shen) details — once the Seven Killings-Seal Pattern is formed, it surpasses the details of the Useful God
