Jong-Gyeok (Follow-the-Leader)

Jong-Gyeok occurs when one element reaches 80% or more of the chart's total elemental weight and minority elements lack root support in the Earthly Branches. In this structure, the weak Day Master cannot resist the dominant element and 'follows' it instead. The stems of minority elements are treated as if they belong to the dominant element for Ten God calculations. This fundamentally changes how the chart is read—what would normally be an enemy becomes an ally.

If you have a Jong-Gyeok chart, fighting the dominant element brings misfortune. Success comes from flowing with the dominant force rather than resisting it.
