The Day Master is extremely weak, without root or vitality. Officer/Killing stars form configurations in the branches and are strong in the heavenly stems. The whole chart is dominated by Officer/Killing stars, and the Day Master has no choice but to submit to the Killing momentum.
Those with the Following Killing pattern are surpassingly bold, daring to face pressure and danger, with tremendous leadership and decisiveness. They are skilled at surviving and developing in high-pressure environments, suited to military, police, politics, enterprise management, surgery, and other industries requiring decisiveness and courage. They have a firm character with威严 (weiyan). In relationships, they command respect and awe, skilled at commanding and managing others, though easily making enemies due to excessive severity.
Formation conditions: 1. The Day Master has no root or vitality; 2. Officer/Killing stars form configurations or are in command in the branches; 3.

For example, a Yi Wood Day Master born in the Shen month, where the earthly branches Shen-You-Xu form the Metal frame (Metal is Yi Wood's Seven Killings/Official), with Geng or Xin Metal revealed in the heavenly stems, the Day Master having no roots in Yin or Mao, and no Ren or Gui Water Seal Star. Once the Seven-Killings-Following pattern is formed and the Seven Killings/Official luck cycle is encountered, it indicates high rank and great authority.
