POWER Character Component (Career & Authority)

(Also known as Influence Structure in BaZi)

The POWER Component consists of Diplomat and Warrior Talents.

People with the POWER Component have a unique ability to unite people, and they speak of high values and principles. When the POWER Component is well balanced, they have a very easygoing nature; they are genuinely nice guys. They are very eager to please and to bring balance and justice to a group or community. They thrive in calm, stable situations and always try to find a way to minimize conflict, ensuring that everybody gets along.

On a smaller scale, POWER Component people have a good, easygoing nature and are always trying to bring calm and peace to groups.

On a large scale, the POWER Component is mainly noticeable with high-level politicians and influential people. It helps them rally people around a common cause. POWER Component people also have a strong interest in charitable activities and projects that benefit humanity or address specific issues.

When the POWER Component is strong, people tend to be more politically and socially active in any way possible.

THE GOOD

  • Peacemaker
  • Diplomatic
  • Tolerant
  • Calm
  • Empathetic
  • Authoritative
  • Self-control
  • Non-interfering

Power Component in a positive state

When the POWER Component is at its brightest, most functional, and healthiest, the person will come across as someone who brings balance to their surroundings. They have strong diplomatic skills and know how to deal with people, fostering peace and tolerance. They are compassionate and make people comfortable, no matter how difficult the situation is.

They fit very well within a well-designed game plan, like politicians who need structure and a well-organized team around them to rally people to the cause and achieve goals. Without a structure, POWER Component people are unable to function adequately; therefore, they prefer working in large organizations that provide structure and conditions to grow. People who are focused on their careers within the company and are less interested in starting their own business usually have a very active POWER Component.

When the POWER Component is in a healthy state, it will be an ideal mediator, helping people resolve conflicts and not stepping on others to get to the top. They strive to work peaceably with others to get the job done and are not competitive. Their primary goal is the well-being of people around and those who depend on them. They try to keep themselves low-key. To get a better picture, imagine a perfect politician, someone who genuinely cares about people, making sure that they grow as a group. That’s the type of person with a healthy and active POWER Component.

THE BAD

  • Passive
  • Self-righteous
  • Self-denial
  • Submissive
  • Fear of confrontation
  • Lack of enthusiasm
  • Avoids responsibilities
  • Resisting too change

Power Component in a negative state

When the POWER Component is out of balance, they tend to react with opposite traits, such as a lack of initiative, avoidance of responsibilities, and a lack of drive. They will wait forever for instructions, unable to move on their own. As long as there is a plan, they will move ahead; once it fails, they get lost. They hate last minute changes and alterations. They avoid positions of power and decision-making because they fear offending others.

When POWER is in excess, people often react to its most extreme and ugliest personality traits. In this case, a person needs a lot of self-discipline and awareness to snap out of it; otherwise, it can be pretty damaging to themselves and to the people around them.

TALENT BRIDGE

POWER ↔ OUTPUT

POWER ↔ BODY

Components often connect; we call these connections a Talent Bridge. These relationships are significant for the overall quality of the Talents and Supertalents, making them more valuable and productive.

A person with a positive combination of POWER and OUTPUT will very likely be able to pursue a successful career, reach a high position in the corporate world, or become an influential political figure, all of which are accompanied by a positive image and the ability to present themselves to the public.

A combination of POWER and BODY might make a person more willing to support and work for others, even when their own needs are put aside.
