Month commander
Also called: de ling, seasonal strength, yue ling
The birth month (月令, Yuè Lìng) sets the season, the single biggest factor in Day-Master strength. By the 旺相休囚死 cycle the Day Master is Prospering (旺, its own season), Strong (相, fed by the season), Resting (休), Trapped (囚), or Weakened (死, the season controls it). Being Prospering or Strong is 'in command' (得令).
