If you want an example of the gift of influence from the Ding Hai (丁亥) pillar, then look no further than the present day motivational guru, Tony Robbins. This American motivational speaker, author and philanthropist is the perfect example of how a Ding Hai Day Master can turn their mission to spread hope into a successful life.
DING HAI (丁亥)/FIRE PIG: OVERVIEW
Remember that final scene from the Disney animation Tangled? When thousands of lanterns are released into the air and onto the sea surrounding the island nation of Corona? Was it not beautiful? Was it not mesmerizing? That’s the visual representation of the Ding Hai – the glittering moonlight, starlight and lantern light reflected off the surface of the water. It’s the extraordinary power to influence and mesmerize.
Tony Robbins is not the first Ding Hai to have reached cult-like status. When the Ding Hai learns to positively influence those around them, they have immense power to create positive change to society.
DING HAI (丁亥)/FIRE PIG: STRENGTHS
Sitting on your own Direct Officer star, the Ding Hai is considered as one of the Loyal Pillars. The Ding Fire is further supported by its Direct Resource star, resulting in a cultured, educated and good-natured individual.
But more than that, the Ding Hai is truly a special pillar. How special? Let me count the ways:
- In this case, the Ding Fire Stem combines with the Ren Water in the Branch. The outcome of this combination brings in more Resource elements to support the Day Master. The result is a highly intuitive, intelligent and extremely talented individual. In short, brilliance!
- This Ding Fire Day Master sits on its own Nobleman Star. In this particular circumstance, the Nobleman Star will instill a sense of responsibility on the Day Master to spread light and hope as far as they possibly can. Yet at the same time, as they give, so they receive. The more the Ding Hai helps others, the more mentors and helpful people will arrive in their lives.
- This Ding Fire Day Master sits on a Ren Water travelling star. This gives them the extraordinary skill to connect, en-masse, with the public.
On top of all that, we still have the natural characteristics of the Ding Fire – ambitious, naturally positive, pioneering and progressive. Supported by your Jia Wood Resource star, this scenario represents someone who is very self-motivated and more importantly, growth minded.
DING HAI (丁亥)/FIRE PIG: VULNERABILITIES TO BE AWARE OF
At the same time, you need to be aware of the two distinct sides of the Ding Hai’s personality. The Ding Fire being a rather erratic element, much like a candle flame that flickers, can be practical and focused one minute, and then restless and undisciplined the next. The fire can go from being gregarious to cold and uncaring in the space of a breath. Awareness is the key here. You need to have the ability to recognize when the flame is going out, in a manner of speaking.
Lacking ‘grounding’ in the form of the Earth element, an unfocused Ding Hai could easily lose their sense of direction and go with the flow of peer pressure.
It’s a rare day that I will write about relationship aspects of the 60 pillars. But in this case, I will… with a note of caution. The giving nature of the Ding Hai may have you so invested in the well-being of others, that your own relationships are sacrificed upon the altar of the greater good. You could get so caught up in your mission to impact lives that you may neglect the lives closest to you. So make it a point to schedule time with those whom you hold dearest.
DING HAI (丁亥)/FIRE PIG: HOW YOU PRESENT
Socially charming and charismatic, the Ding Hai Day Master typically enjoys meeting new people. Your friends (and fans) turn to you for inspiration. The hidden pull combination that attracts the Wu (午) branch literally bring friends and fans into your circle.
DING HAI, BUT BETTER
If you are a Ding Hai Day Master, my best advice to you is to embrace life-long learning. This is the key to the success of the Ding Hai pillar. Why? The Ding Hai can be as generous and giving as the Bing Xu pillar in my previous post. However, unlike the self-sustaining Bing sitting on a resourceful Wu Earth, the Ding Fire requires constant fuel to burn bright.
But perhaps more importantly, position yourself to magnify your message. Use the available social media platforms of the day to bring hope and enlightenment. This pillar is a natural-born influencer. The further your message can travel, the more successful you will be. So what are you waiting for?
As always, a final caveat. Without the ability to see the full chart, I must stress that the suggestions in this article are broad recommendations based on a single pillar.
