In brief, if it is a Ram year as is 2003, then dampness is the dominant energy of the year. So, firstly, Earth sedates Water. Water's lack of control over Fire allows it to increase; then Fire suppresses Metal; which, in turn, cannot control Wood. Wood, then, suppresses Earth as a " revenge " for Earth's earlier domination of Water. The child of the original suppressed element revenges the Mother. The whole cycle takes the entire year and shows what the dynamics of the end of the year will be; it can be predictive. Whereas in the SHL you are usually looking at much shorter periods of time. If you know what the conditions will be, you can anticipate how a particular patient or a patient population may react. Jim Ramholz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can read Unschuld's synopsis of those chapters in the appendix of his new book on the Suwen. It's easier to get through and make sense of--- for a first reading---than the original classic.
