建禄

Jian Lu

建禄 · Jiànlù

A peer month in which the month branch is the Day Master's own lu branch, where its element is established. The chart begins with seasonal backing for the Day Master.

In more detail

Each stem has one lu branch, for example Yin for Jia and Zi for Gui. Because this energy is the Day Master's own, the reading looks to other revealed stems for its outward direction. Our method notes it only when the leading month stem is a Companion or Rob Wealth.

Also called: Lu Month · Establishing the Salary

The characters

建jiànto establish; to build
禄lùan official’s stipend
