JADE

JADE is one of the ten BAAK types, the one that takes it in and holds. Straight support. You learn by taking in and you give back by holding. People are steadier around you than they are alone. 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.

You're the one who actually reads the document. JADE holds and protects, so the fit is best where that's the actual job and not a side effect.

Reliable and patient. You're a place people land.

Support can turn into waiting. Under pressure it shows up like this: you absorb it instead of naming it.

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. JADE 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.

JADE is BAAK's name for 印綬格, read yìn shòu gé, the structure built on the 正印 star. It is written 印绶格 in simplified characters. The same structure is also written 正印格. 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.

No. A zodiac animal comes from your birth year and is shared by roughly one person in twelve. JADE comes from the structure of your whole chart, and it sits at the centre of a reading rather than at the edge of it.
