What Rob Wealth is
A stem with the same element as your Day Master but the opposite polarity is Rob Wealth; for a Jia Wood Day Master, Yi Wood. It also stands for siblings, friends and peers, but with more rivalry than Friend; the name comes from the way it takes a share of the Wealth that the Day Master controls. Rob Wealth also supports the Day Master, and when the Day Master is weak it is a strong ally.
When Rob Wealth is strong in your chart
When Rob Wealth is plentiful and shows on the stems, you are driven, quick to react, willing to take risks and good with people, which suits sales, competition and any work where timing matters. Watch for impulsive spending, or opening your wallet for the sake of face or friends; think one step further before lending, partnering or co-signing. Rob Wealth works best when Eating God or Hurting Officer turns that energy into talent, or when an Officer star keeps it in check.
When Rob Wealth is light or missing
With little Rob Wealth you tend not to compete, keep a steady pace and hold on to what you have. When you need a push, find a friendly rival or a shared team goal, and the drive will come.
Luck pillars and years of Rob Wealth
In a Rob Wealth luck pillar or year, competition and change pick up, and peers, partnerships and the flow of money all become themes. It is a good time to push hard, change tracks or win a goal with a team. Keep a floor under your finances, and settle the terms before big spending or a partnership.
A tip
Aim your will to win at contests and goals, not at money or face, and Rob Wealth becomes your engine.
