I have read your bazi destiny 1 and 2 books and the 10 gods textbook. Have been trying to make out my bazi and interaction with my luck pillars. But recently I read through your handbook on Metal structures (as my DM is Geng metal) and I hope you could answer my queries. 

 1. If I understand this correctly, according to my birthdate and month I have a goat blade structure in my chart. What does a goat blade structure mean? 

 2. If I understand correctly, when the goat blade structure meets with a clash, it becomes a disaster structure. Am I right and what does a disaster structure mean? 

 3. . If this is so, I notice that this year the Mao annual pillar clashes with Xin in my bazi month branch and also in my next 10 year luck pillar when the Mao appears again, there will be a clash with Xin. So will the disaster structure manifest in my bazi chart and what does this mean personally for me? 

 4. If I have read your writings correctly, if there is an existing goat blade and if there is water in the branch (but not the stem) and another one of the remaining branches have a metal element, then this becomes a special structure called "follow the leader". It seems my chart then has a "follow the leader". 

        a. Do I have a follow the leader structure in my bazi? 

        b. With the mao xin clash as per this year's annual and the next 10 year luck pillars, what effect will this have on my follow the leader structure and its effect on me? 

 5. This "follow the leader' structure, this has not really been covered yet in any of your books, but I got the impression that the normal bazi "rules' dont apply. 

           a. So my trying to make sense of my bazi chart has to be looked at again if I do have this structure, am I right? 

           b. Does this mean that the "rules" relating to 10 gods and the "rules" regarding clashes, harms, destructions, punishments, combinations etc, would need to be modified with this "follow the leader structure"? 

 Will I still be able to use the information I have learnt from your 3 books I have read? Thanks very much for reading this. Hopefully it's OK to answer questions like these here, but if this were not so, then that's OK.

Many thanks for reading my books. My answers below: 

1. Yes are a goat blade structure. 

2. There is no clash in your chart. Your structure is not broken. The meeting of the You-Mao in the 56th year, Luck Pillar is a 'clash - out', and not 'clash in'. so no life threatening danger. 

3. refer to the above. 

4. No your chart does not qualify for 'follow the leader' due to the presence of both Bing and Ding Fire. 

5. refer to answer 4. 

Hope this points you to the right direction in your studies. 

Warm Regards,
