The Four Cardinals refers to the Earthly Branches of Zi Rat, Mao Rabbit, Wu Horse and You Rooster. Each of this Earthly Branches is reside at the peak of the seasons.
When spring comes, Mao is at its peak and prosperous with the pure Qi of Yi Wood. Then summer, Wu Horse is at it prosperous with Ding Fire Qi plus a minor Qi of Ji Earth. This is because the fire element produces earth and hence, all the fire branches will carries a secondary element of earth. During autumn, the You Rooster is at it prosperous with a pure Qi of Xin Metal. Lastly in winter, Zi Rat is at its peak and prosperous with the pure Qi of Gui Water. Hence you have the Four Cardinals which is called "Di Wang" in the stage of life.
Okay! It sounds like textbook, I know. But I just want explain a bit in details of the position of Four Cardinals in each of the season. You know, they are on top of the world. And literary, it applies to the people who Day Master sits on this earthly being…
So what's "Di Wang" means? How does it reflect on a person character? In addition, the Four Cardinals are also the four Peach Blossom Stars.
By just looking at the Four Cardinals (while all other element remain constant), people who have either one of the Cardinals indicates that they have a likeable and attractive personality. People somehow gravitate to them by their appearance or charming disposition. They are also innocent and trusting at times. However on the flip side, they can be egoistic and have an aggressive personality. This is when the Day Master is sitting at "Di Wang". They can come across as passionate and full of vitality.
However when one who have too many of the Four Cardinals a.k.a the Peach Blossom Stars in his or her Bazi Natal Chart it definitely means trouble in relationship. Cases like third party, infidelity, stalker or stuck in abusive relationship that they seems to unable to get out of are some of the possibilities of too much of this Star. Why is this so? If you look the Four Cardinals, you will notice that each of the Earthly Branches has a problematic relationship to other. Look at the table below.
Hence, it is ideal to have only one Cardinal Earthly Branches or one Peach Blossom Star in your Bazi Natal Chart. Sometimes too much of a good things just spoil everything.
Besides the above relationship, where the Four Cardinals reside in your Bazi Chart and also which Ten Gods it represents have an important influence and effect too.
For example: A Mao Rabbit on your Hour Pillar indicates people will instantly gravitate to you but the effect is not long lasting. The person also have tendency to involve in a fling or one night stand kind of relationship especially when the element is negative. On a brighter note it indicates that this person is in good term with the people he or she works with because the Hour Pillar also represents your Colleague and Subordinate Palace. This is especially so if the Mao Rabbit is also either one of this Ten Gods: the Friend, Rob Wealth, Eating God or Hurting Officer Star.
Quick! Look at your Bazi Chart, see if you have any of the Earthly Branches I mentioned and good luck with you discovery. J

Hiya Bazhichic,
Finally after some hiatus, you are back with Peach blossom post. good on ya! geez, Mao on hour pillar only has short effect, eh? Thinking how people usually love Rabbit as it is cute and cuddly, lol. Nice effort on putting the graphic to make it easier to understand. cheers!
Hi 4 Seasons Boy,
Haha... Yeah! I am back. Thank you.
Hi Josephine!
i have 3 peach blossom stars in my chart. All are Yang Fire Horse located each on the Day,Month and Year pillar. Ouch! :P
I read on your post that it says self punishment issues. aiyooh!:(
But is it true, that i can learn to control these issues (which causes self punishment) if i know what the problem is, and things will be less problematic??? please advise. Thank you.
By the way my self element on heavenly stem is also Yang Fire, with 2 Yang Earth on the Month and Year Heavenly stem, and a Yin Water on the Hour Pillar in heavenly stem.

I hope that you will understand that I don't give free consultation. However to be fair and since you already posted your questions, here is what I think. :D
Yes, you have a self-punishment that will affect you social circle as well as your family. A self-punishment also means that although you know what you are doing is wrong be you still do it. The punishment which relates to your Rob Wealth Star indicates that this problem arises mostly because of your friends because your bazi structure place a great importance on friendship. So take care as not to be influence by their bad ideas or habits.
Self-controlled and wise judgement on your part will greatly lessen this issue.
Hey Jo ! Omg~ U look like Katy Perry in ur pict =) looking forward for more posts from you ! Perhaps more stuff on yang earth DM =D

Hi Jo,
Nice to see a new post!
Your display of the peach blossoms are really helpful.
As for Famous Wu Earth people I can name a few: Will Smith and Jada Pinkett, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. Interesting note, they're 2 married couples in Hollywood.
Also I enjoyed your explanation on Hamster's chart.
Take Care.
HI Josephine,
Thank you for your generous advice. You are truly a very helpful and loving person. God bless you! :)
Thank you for the insightful post ^^ !
I have two Rat at hour branch and year branch, perhaps this explains why people like me if they either know me for a long time or very short ?
Yes, people will instantly like you and also it will be a long-term effect too.
"Okay! It sounds like textbook, I know. But I just want explain a bit in details of the position of Four Cardinals in each of the season. You know, they are on top of the world. And literary, it applies to the people who Day Master sits on this earthly being…"
'it applies to the people who Day Master sits on this earthly being…"'
what do you mean "at the top of the world?
and do you mean, people who have Peach blossom star at the Day Pillar only?
". They are also innocent and trusting at times. However on the flip side, they can be egoistic and have an aggressive personality. This is when the Day Master is sitting at "Di Wang". They can come across as passionate and full of vitality."
it's like you're only speaking of those who have it (peach blossom) at the Day Pillar correct?
Alisen,
It apply where both Day Master and the Day Branch has the same element, and Day Branch is the Peach Blossom Star. e.g. Bing Wu, Yi Mao, Ren Zi etc.
"...on top of the world" is to describe a feeling of greatness.
Cheers
Josephine,
so you just defined for me, what Di Wang is, right? Like, Pure Qi, right?
I have Ren Zi, at the Hour pillar. Is it considered 'Di Wang" then?
Alisen,
Nope, it must be the Day Pillar.
