Jiecai (劫財) — Wealth Robber
Same element opposite polarity to the Day Master; represents competitive peers, strong drive, and risk of financial loss through associates.
Jiecai is the same element as the Day Master but opposite yin/yang — e.g. a 甲 (yang wood) day master sees 乙 (yin wood). It carries the energy of "ally with hidden agenda" — competitive siblings, partners who later turn rivals, or the inner drive that pushes hard but sometimes overreaches.
Healthy Jiecai gives courage, willingness to take risks, and ability to shoulder others' burdens. When unfavorable, it warns of financial losses through partners, betrayal, or compulsive risk-taking. Many self-made entrepreneurs have strong Jiecai — driven, but must guard against breaking partnerships.
