JADE

正印格 is the structure BAAK calls JADE. Straight support. You learn by taking in and you give back by holding. People are steadier around you than they are alone. It's read from your month command, which is the most weighted position in the chart, and it describes how you run rather than what you're made of.

You're the one who actually reads the document. JADE holds and protects, so the fit is best where that's the actual job and not a side effect.

Reliable and patient. You're a place people land.

Support can turn into waiting. Under pressure it shows up like this: you absorb it instead of naming it.

No, and this is the part most tools get muddled. Your build is the stem of your birth day, which is what you're made of. JADE is your 格局, taken from the month command, and that's how you run. Two people with the same build often have completely different structures, and the structure is the one that describes a life.

No. A zodiac animal comes from your birth year and is shared by roughly one person in twelve. JADE comes from the structure of your whole chart, and it sits at the centre of a reading rather than at the edge of it.
