The 10 Gods/10 Stars

I was just clarifying what all the 10 main gods/stars were and realised there isn't a general thread for this subject. I think for a beginner this would be the next stage before going any further into more complicated aspects of Chinese astrology. So! These are the 10 Gods/Stars and how you would recognise it in your chart:

Bi Jian - Friendly Parallel or Compare Shoulders - same element and same gender as DM e.g. yin fire looking for yin fire Jie Cai - Rob Wealth, Unfriendly Parallel, Opposite Parallel - same element and opposite gender as DM e.g. YIN fire looking for YANG fire Zheng Yin - Direct Resource, Correct Seal, Proper Seal - the element that produces the DM and opposite gender e.g. YIN fire looking for YANG wood Pian Yin - Indirect Resource, Slanted Seal - the element that produces the DM but is same gender e.g. YIN fire looking for YIN wood Zheng Guan - Direct Officer, Direct Power - the element controlling the DM and opposite gender e.g. YIN fire looking for YANG water Pian Guan - Indirect Officer, Indirect Power(or Qi Sha - 7 Killings) - the element controlling the DM whilst being same gender e.g. YIN fire looking for YIN WATER Zheng Cai - Direct Wealth, Proper Wealth - the element controlled by the DM and opposite gender e.g. YIN fire looking for YANG metal Pian Cai - Indirect Wealth - the element controlled by the DM and is same gender e.g. YIN fire looking for YIN metal Shi Shen - Eating God, Gracious Output - the element that is produced by the DM and is the same gender e.g. YIN fire looking for YIN Earth Shang Guan - Hurting Officer, Drastic Output - the element that is produced by the DM but is the opposite gender e.g. YIN fire looking for YANG Earth. Although it's 10 gods/stars, just think of it as 5 important aspects to people and each has a yin and yang version. Hurting Officer and Eating God is about a persons output. Indirect and Direct Wealth is obviously about a persons way of achieving wealth Direct and Indirect Officer is about a persons mode of obtaining power. Direct and Indirect Resource is about a persons mode of obtaining the correct resources. Finally Rob Wealth and Friendly Parallel are about friendship and how you make relations to others. All five of these have a yin and yang version of the same thing. The easiest two to explain would be friendly parallel (the yin version) and rob wealth (the yang version). Yin version is making friends easily and Yang version is more about making rivals and competitors,

The only problem I am still facing is the actual difference between getting resources and getting wealth. Also, getting power has to mean something more specific than getting to the top of a company because that really is the same as getting wealth and resources (which comes naturally to being up the chain or in a management position). Also, I'm sure that each of the five is related to the five elements. Water is intelligence which is probably the resources (resources may be to do with learning skills) Wood is about relationships which is likely the rob wealth and friendly star Fire is about Fame which is likely the output stars eating god and hurting officer Metal is about money which is likely the wealth stars Earth is about balance and control which may be the Officer stars. I may be wrong but hopefully itll all come together soon.
