A
pair of Earthly Branches indicating Punishment is something you don't want
to see in your chart. Essentially, a Punishment relationship is something
that people refer to as "Karma." In other words, it is something that is
coming back to haunt us. The effects are psychological in
nature--how you feel about something or someone. People with Punishment in
their Bazi chart are usually not happy people and complains about
everything and are never satisfied. Punishments
have different intensity level: Full Punishment involves three Branches
together in a chart, and Minor Punishment which involves two of the three
Branches in a chart. Additionally, the impact depends on whether the
Punishment is Internal or External. Internal Ungrateful
Punishment involves the person's perception and way of thinking. External
Ungrateful Punishment refers to something done to you, by someone else,
which results in you getting into trouble.
Finally, the seriousness of the Punishment will
greatly depend on whether your favorable or unfavorable elements are
involved. If the Punishment involves your favorable elements, the problems
are usually tolerable and not too harmful. If the Punishment, however,
involves your unfavorable elements, the problem will be more difficult to
deal with.
There are four basic types of Punishment relationships:
Ungrateful, Bullying, Uncivilized, and Self Punishment.

Type of Punishment |
Earthly Branches |
Effects |
| Ungrateful
Punishment |
Occurs when they appear side-by-side. If they are
separated, they are referred to as "incomplete" and the effect is
reduced. The effects of this type of Punishment is also greatly
reduced if it appeared in the Luck Pillars. |
This type of Punishment
involves a "lack of gratitude." It is a situation where you offer
someone help, but end up getting into trouble for it. A good
example is a guy I used to know who worked hard in order to send
his wife to the best Law school in the country and the wife, upon
graduation, divorced him. Considering the
situation, people with this type of Punishment in their chart may feel
betrayed and usually do not trust people around them. This type
of Punishment, when present in a Bazi chart, will bring about
long-term unhappiness, discontent, depression, and always thinking
negative. This person will live life thinking everyone is out to get
them. People with this type of Punishment may not get along well with
their relatives, as well as their spouse.
The best way to deal with this type of Punishment is
for the person to realized what is happening and try to see the world
and people around them in a better light. They should stop
generalizing and understand that not everyone will do the same to
them. Of course, it doesn't hurt to be careful and to think before you
act. |
| Bullying
Punishment |
Occurs when the Earthly
Branches below appear side-by-side, in any order in a chart. A person
may also have this type of Punishment if it appears in their Luck
Pillar.

A Bullying Punishment
refers to situations where a person gets into a situation due to their
own carelessness. Similar to the Ungrateful Punishment, this
type of Punishment can manifest two ways: Internally (bullied by
yourself) and Externally (bullied by someone else).
Internal Bullying Punishment - refers to people who
create problems for themselves, e.g., not being able to say "no" and
creating more work for them at work. Another example is losing money
because you didn't want to charge a friend too much, etc. People
with this type of Punishment should think twice before making a
promise to anyone.
External Bullying Punishment, on the other hand,
refers to a situation where someone else is causing the problems for
you, e.g., lawsuits.
People with this type of Punishment may feel
victimized and trapped. In order to overcome this problem is to
recognize the situation, maintain a positive attitude, and have
confidence in oneself at all times. |
| Uncivilized
Punishment |
Occurs only when the Earthly Branches above appear
side-by-side. A person may also have this type
of Punishment if it appears in their Luck Pillar. |
Uncivilized Punishment
refers to a person who is disloyal or goes against something that they
should be loyal or grateful to--usually sexual related problems.
People with this type of Punishment are emotionally unstable and are
not able to control their emotions or desires. In serious cases, this
may involve rape, incest, or sexual abuse. |

Occurs only when a pair of the Earthly Branches
above appear side-by-side. A person may also
have this type of Punishment if it appears in their Luck Pillar and it
may occur more than once in their lifetime. |
Self-Punishment is
something people do to themselves, e.g., chain smoking, alcoholism,
drug addiction, overeating, etc. This type of Punishment can easily be
resolved with self-discipline, and again, awareness. The key to
handling this type of Punishment is by knowing what the problem is and
resolving it early. |
