Self Penalty in Bazi
Self Penalty (自刑) in Bazi occurs when two identical animals come together that do not like their own kind: Dragon 辰 - Dragon 辰, Rooster 酉 - Rooster 酉, Horse 午 - Horse 午 and Pig 亥 - Pig 亥.
When Self Penalty occurs within the Pillars of Destiny, it indicates a bad relationship between relatives. Unlike Clashes, which usually mean open conflict, there is more secret dislike here. For example, if you were born in the month of the Rooster 酉 and the day of the Rooster 酉, it may mean that your mother and your wife do not love each other, but do not show it openly. Because the Earthly branch of the day is responsible for your marriage, and the Earthly branch of the month is the mother’s palace. Maybe your mother will say something bad about your wife behind your back. If Self Penalty is located in pillars that are not nearby, such as year and birthday, their influence on us is weak.

Self Penalty can also come when you enter a certain pillar of luck, year, month or day. In this case, the Earthly animal branches, of course, do not stand nearby, and Self Penalty comes for a certain period of time. For example, a person was born on the day of the Dragon 辰 and the pillar of luck of the Dragon 辰 comes. Then Self Penalty will be with him for ten years. Since the birthday is the palace of marriage, Self Penalty will affect a person’s personal life, perhaps in this decade he himself will destroy his family, realizing at the same time that he is acting to his own detriment. If the day of the Dragon 辰 comes, then this is a short-term punishment, it is not so terrible. But you should be careful on this day so as not to create problems for yourself.

Thus, the meaning of Self Penalty in Bazi, as the name suggests, is that a person does something that is obviously wrong, often realizes the wrongness of his actions, but cannot refuse them. This is similar to how many smokers cannot quit their addiction, although they are well aware of its harm to their own health. Self Penalty can also include relationships between people, when meetings occur with those whom one should not meet, infidelity leading to problems in marriage, and similar actions. It means, in general, different things when a person does something to himself that is clearly not useful for him in the future.

However, if Self Penalty comes, in an element favorable to the person, it can even be good. For example, Metal is favorable for us, and we encounter Self Penalty: 酉(im) - 酉(im), as a result, the Metal, which is favorable for us, strengthens and brings good luck. If the Metal is unfavorable, and Self Penalty is associated, for example, with the element of Friends, perhaps problems will come from friends, colleagues, although again, the person himself will cause them.
Self Penalty mechanisms underlie such bad habits as smoking, overeating, unnecessary purchases, slowness or, conversely, unnecessary fuss. As a rule, since Self Penalty is a problem caused by the person himself, who at least in general terms knows what its causes are, then you can cope with it with the help of discipline, self-organization, and switching attention to other things. Therefore, sometimes the simple realization that you have such a deficiency, and that no one is to blame except you, helps to cope with the situation. The main thing in managing Self Penalty is to identify the problem and eliminate it while it is possible, so to speak, “nip it in the bud.”
