從弱

從弱格 is the seat where the day stem is so weak that the 抑扶 reckoning does not stand.

Where the day stem takes root nowhere in the chart, the classical reckoning is to **follow** the strong force rather than press or support it.

Applying 抑扶 as usual yields the opposite counsel.

This record cannot stand by its own force.

Go against it and it is hurt; follow and it opens. Spend no strength on holding out — lean into what is already strong.

Here, to be helped is to be harmed.
