Hello all and hello to master Peter.
I'd like to ask about combinations. I've seen so many charts now that combinations really make things change. Combination onto spouse palace can mean person getting married or into relationship or it can mean divorce when spouse star/element is combined away.
I would like to have a little help reading this chart that would have different structure and might have different strength and have a different reading if combinations are taken into account.

Ding Yi Ding Ren
Hai Chou Wei Zi
Life pillar Xin Hai
Luck pillar Ren Yin has somehow released eating god / huge amount of creativity and totally changed this person into a full time artist. She had never been an artist until the Ren - Yin LP began. Is that because the luck pillar stem REN would break up the Ding-Ren combinations in the chart and release the Ding from the combinations, therefore creating the new energy for the eating god to thrive?
Now most people and calculators that do not read the combinations would say this is a weak Yi DM. But I want to ask you, what if you take the hour pillar heavenly combination, Ding stem combines with HHS Ren in Hai - making HP into a full wood pillar. The other Ding in month stem combines into wood with Ren in year stem. Wai month allows the combination.
Does Hai-Zi-Chou make a full water combination in this chart? Or not? If so, that would leave this DM pretty strong. Or do the combinations not change anything about strength of DM?
