In Chapter 3 of The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel, the chapter delved into the risks people take driven by never knowing what and when is enough. Translated into Bazi terms, “Never Enough” is known as a Rob Wealth problem. You know, that pesky little insatiable monster that always wants more more more? So yes, this post can also be known as the Rob Wealth chapter.
KEY EXCERPTS FROM THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MONEY (CHAPTER 3)
“The hardest financial skill is getting the goalpost to stop moving.” This is capitalism at its core. Always, more growth, more money, more! Wanting more is not the problem. The problem happens when you need to take greater and greater amounts of risk to get it.
“Modern capitalism is a pro at two things: generating wealth and generating envy.”
“Social comparison is the problem here.” And let me tell you this, Asian societies have a bigger issue with this point. Because many Asian societies are based on Confusionism where face value and status is so very important.
“There are many things never worth risking, no matter the potential gain.” Sometimes, this drive for more, more, more can cause us to do illegal stuff? Thereby risking our freedom, our independence, our reputation.
Everything mentioned here is equated with the Rob Wealth star in Bazi.
WHAT IS ROB WEALTH?
In Bazi, Rob Wealth can represent our ego. Traditional Bazi interpretations do not like the Rob Wealth. The name itself sounds ‘ick’… someone coming along to rob my wealth.
But as in everything in the universe, where there is bad, there will inevitably be good.
A healthy and well-trained Rob Wealth star is ambitious. It is competitive but in a healthy way. It can also denote strong leadership abilities because of its ability to motivate and inspire others.
But when we say someone has a Rob Wealth problem, this is when the Rob Wealth is exerting its negative influence in the Chart.
Amongst these negative influences are endless comparing, always behaving like everything in life is a combat, emotionally and behaviourally aggressive. And because they are constantly comparing, vulnerable to peer pressure
So, of course, the first type of Chart that is vulnerable to a Rob Wealth problem, would be a naturally ambitious chart that has a Rob Wealth structure or a Rob Wealth profile.
I love working with Rob Wealth clients. They always come with big ambitions and the willingness to work for it. The harder it is, the more amped up they get. There is this natural instinct of wanting to build their own empires!
When the structure is positive or favourable, Rob Wealth structure individuals never shy away from hustling. When it is negative, they might not hustle because too busy comparing. See, Rob Wealth always wants to win. When they think they cannot win, then the only solution is to not play. Which is fine, but the problem is, when they don’t play, they complain.
Rob Wealth individuals are also very charismatic. Attractive people to talk to. Everywhere they go, they know instinctively how to create a nice environment.
And most of all, daring. The harder it is, the more excited they get. As an investor, the more volatile the market, the happier they are. Because apart from making money, what they love is the thrill of overcoming the odds, the thrill of the win!
So with this type of structure or profile, the trick is to always remind them never to bet the house. Because can easily get carried away by their own ‘cleverness’.
In many cases, Rob Wealth traders love to gap down or short the market. Very tenacious. Cannot believe that their strategy won’t work. Sometimes this plays out in their favour, but other times, they end up digging holes to fill up another hole because they cling on very stubbornly to their ideas or strategies.
But what if you are not a Rob Wealth structure or profile? Can the Rob Wealth cause problems too? Potentially…
ROB WEALTH ELSEWHERE IN THE CHART
Even if your Rob Wealth star is not the most dominant in your Chart, you may experience some of its effects, depending on where the Rob Wealth shows up.
If your Rob Wealth shows up on the Heavenly Stem in the Year column, chances are people keep coming to compare with you. Like you’re supposed to be some type of benchmark or something among your friends. It can be very tiring. And it causes a lot of peer pressure.
If the Rob Wealth shows up on the Heavenly Stem in the Month column, you tend to be very competitive at work or in business. Always want to win. This is good for hustling. Need to consistently hustle. If you don’t like to hustle, then this Rob Wealth is of no use to you.
If the Rob Wealth is inside the Day Branch – because no way it can show up on the Stem, right? Rob Wealth is an active star. It doesn’t sit still, so this person is always on the move. Ants in the pants syndrome, can’t stay in one spot for too long. Also likes to be surrounded by people. Enjoys being in situations where there is a noisy and happy atmosphere. You got this in the Chart, you gotta network! If we are interpreting from a relationship perspective, this might cause some problems – but we’re talking money here. ok?
If the Rob Wealth shows up on the Hour Stem which governs our mindset. The comparison is in your head. Usually, when Rob Wealth is on the hour, it is very hard to feel satisfied because the person is always comparing.
It is what it is. We can’t change the chart. How we respond to it is the key. If the always comparing motivates you into action, then great! If the always comparing demotivates you and prevents you from taking action because you think you cannot win.. then it’s not so great.
If the Rob Wealth is found elsewhere in the Chart but nestled inside the branch, it usually indicates low-level competitiveness that is not overt.
And of course, if there are no Rob Wealth inside the Chart at all, then obviously you won’t have a Rob Wealth problem.
KEY LEARNINGS
If you have the Rob Wealth in your Chart and it is prominent, learn to use it well. Don’t allow its negative influences colour your perspective.
And learning when is ‘enough’ is important for all of us. Knowing when is ‘enough’ is not about leaving opportunity and potential on the table for others to pick up. It’s about realizing that at a certain point, an insatiable appetite for more will push you to the point of regret.
This constant thirst and chase for more is draining, exhausting and let’s face it, it’s miserable! It’s the seeds of our scarcity mindset. And here’s the weird part, the more you chase, the more elusive some things become.
