Everything goes poorly; lack of drive and effectiveness
Four-Abandonment Day is a special day-pillar auxiliary star, mainly indicating that nothing goes smoothly and things are left unfinished. Those whose charts carry Four-Abandonment Day tend to give up halfway, work hard but gain very little, and find it difficult to achieve success. This Sha is most inauspicious when it shares the same pillar with Seven Killings or Hurting Officer, indicating a life filled with repeated setbacks.
According to Wan Minying of the Ming Dynasty in San Ming Tong Hui · “On Ten Evils Great Defeat”:
"There are Four-Abandonment Days. In spring: Geng Shen; in summer: Ren Zi; in autumn: Jia Yin; in winter: Bing Wu. When the three calendars are compared and harmonized, Xin You, Gui Hai, Yi Mao and Ding Wei are further added. ‘Abandonment’ means something dead and useless. Anyone whose fate carries this will see undertakings fail to come to fruition, with things having a beginning but no completion."
The ancients regarded Four-Abandonment Days as inauspicious days produced when the Five Elements are out of season. “Abandonment” carries the meaning of being dead and useless, referring to the fact that the relevant element is in a weakened state in that particular season. Those born on such days often find that their efforts do not lead to success and that things are started but not finished. The formation principle of Four-Abandonment Days lies in the Five Elements being in a “terminal” or “death” stage in certain seasons: for example, metal qi is weak in spring (Geng Shen, Xin You), water qi is weak in summer (Ren Zi, Gui Hai), wood qi is weak in autumn (Jia Yin, Yi Mao), and fire qi is weak in winter (Bing Wu, Ding Wei), hence the term “abandonment”.
In modern society, those whose charts contain Four-Abandonment Day often show insufficient follow-through and a tendency to start with a flourish and end weakly. Such people need to pay special attention to cultivating perseverance, and can improve the habit of giving up halfway by making detailed plans, setting phased goals, and seeking supervision from others. At the same time, they should recognize their own limitations, choose working styles that suit them, and turn disadvantages into strengths by focusing on fields that value flexibility and adaptability more than long-term persistence.
