Full output has no volume control.
FLARE at work
You're the surge. Someone else can be the steady load.
FLARE in relationships
All in, fast, and hard to match.

You push until something gives.

“I bring more than the room expects.”

Questions people ask
FLARE, in plain terms.
01What does it mean to be a FLARE?
FLARE is one of the ten BAAK types, the one that runs past the limit. The same fuel as TAU, erupting. Enormous capacity, and it doesn't idle well. The thing you have to manage is scale. It's read from your month command, which is the most weighted position in the chart, and it describes how you run rather than what you're made of.
02What is FLARE like at work?
You're the surge. Someone else can be the steady load. FLARE pushes past the limit, so the fit is best where that's the actual job and not a side effect.
03What is FLARE like in a relationship?
All in, fast, and hard to match.
04What is the weakness of a FLARE?
Full output has no volume control. Under pressure it shows up like this: you push until something gives.
05Is FLARE the same as my build?
No, and this is the part most tools get muddled. Your build is the stem of your birth day, which is what you're made of. FLARE is your structure, taken from the month command, and that's how you run. Two people with the same build often have completely different structures, and the structure is the one that describes a life.
06What is FLARE called in Chinese?
FLARE is BAAK's name for 羊刃格, read yáng rèn gé, the structure built on the 劫財 star. The same structure is also written 陽刃格. The reading here is written in English, so the type carries an English name, and what sits under it is the structure a practitioner would name in characters.
07Is FLARE the same as a Chinese zodiac sign?
No. A zodiac animal comes from your birth year and is shared by roughly one person in twelve. FLARE comes from the structure of your whole chart, and it sits at the centre of a reading rather than at the edge of it.
