Flights are like a wire; meeting natal or self-transformation is like connecting power; forming groups energizes and doubles force.
What This Question Is Really Asking
Some see a single flight without checking joining, misjudging force; whether it forms a group makes a big difference.
The Underlying Logic
Joining: flights meet natal or self-transformation.
Lu-Ji group: investment connects with result.
Quan-Ke group: execution connects with reputation.
Groups double force; no connection scatters it.
A Step-by-Step Way to Read It
- First find flight landings
- See whether landings have natal transformations
- See whether landings have self-transformations
- Judge whether Lu-Ji or Quan-Ke form groups
- Group: force doubles, theme strengthens
- No group: force average, seek other activation
Three Common Mistakes
Mistake 1: Seeing single flights without joining
Mistake 2: Unable to tell whether groups form
Mistake 3: Overestimating unjoined force
Back to Your Own Chart
Transformation joining asks whether flights connect and form groups. Groups double force and strengthen theme, and you read a matter strength accurately.
Reading Order
- Cast the natal chart first and locate the palaces and major stars tied to transformations joining and reinforcing before judging anything
- Open the triple-direction of those palaces and count the auspicious, malefic and assistant stars separately
- Check where the natal Four Transformations land to set the chart's baseline tone
- Read the decade-limit transformations to see whether the transformations joining and reinforcing line is activated in this stage
- Then read the annual transformations and the year's palace to pin down this year's trigger and timing
- Layer natal, decade and year before concluding, then decide how to act rather than labeling good or bad
