White Tiger Rampant
Heaven-plate Xin over earth-plate Yi: the White Tiger's metal hacks at tender yin wood, and the ferocity is unchecked. It signals ruined households and lives lost, calamity on distant journeys, and carts and boats alike wrecked — among the gravest of the ten-stem configurations, demanding caution for travel and home alike.

The image is a powerful enemy at the gates: a domineering boss or rival bearing down head-on, and meeting force with force means injury. This is no time to job-hop on a gamble — the next employer's terrain may be more dangerous still. Step out of the line of attack, hold your baseline and your records, secure yourself first and plan the way out after.
Gravely unfavorable for wealth: losses strike fast and hard — guard against seizure by force, contracts torn up unilaterally, investments harvested by predators. Shrink high-risk positions quickly and add no leverage. Business involving other regions or transport carries double the risk this period; delay whatever can be delayed.
One side turns forceful and wounding: quarrels blaze, words cut like knives, and the damage resists repair; the household is unquiet, and crude outside interference may intrude. The first task is to stop the losses and stop the fighting — physical and emotional safety come first, and major decisions wait until the storm passes.
Points to acute conditions and trauma: the liver and gallbladder under assault, blade wounds to sinew and bone, traffic injuries and falls. Watch elders' health with special care — the pattern warns of falls and sudden illness in the old. Do not delay treatment this period, take extra care in transit, and schedule elective surgery for another date outside this pattern.
Carts and boats wrecked is this pattern's direct verdict on travel: gravely unfavorable, unstable by land, water, and air alike. Cancel if at all possible; avoid long-distance driving and night flights or night ferries. If travel is unavoidable, choose large, reputable carriers, keep the seatbelt fastened throughout, and arrange travel insurance in advance.
The suit finds you under ferocious attack from the stronger party: their tactics are sharp, your side keeps losing ground, and trading blows head-on works against you. Retain a seasoned lawyer to stand in front, parry through procedure and evidence, refuse pitched battle, and watch for the moment to settle and disengage.
