Wood over the Dragon branch 辰 is a controlling arrangement, the stem mastering the earth it stands in. This site's table lists 戊 as Indirect Wealth, 乙 as Rob Wealth and 癸 as Direct Resource. Two of those names are unsettled: 三命通會 prints 壬 for 癸, which would make the Resource indirect, and for 甲 meeting 乙 淵海子平 uses the word 敗財 where 神峰通考 uses 劫財.

三命通會 卷一 is brief and domestic about 甲辰: 灯也, a lamp. Its 納音 Lamp Fire comes straight across into the image. It is said to like the night and water and 恶昼, to hate the daytime, which suits a lamp and leaves the water unexplained.

Decline, 衰, follows Emperor among the twelve stages, and 甲 arrives there at 辰. The metaphor is of years just past their height, and the word locates a stem on the wheel without weighing the chart around it.
