Metal and Water, her lucky elements

Fire, her negative element
Sadly, she passed on on 5 June 2018. It happened during a transition period between 巳 and 午 month which is during the fire season.

Through her happenings in life, we can tell that elements that are positive for her were metal, water and earth. These are elements that exhaust fire. Any elements that strengthen fire is negative.

At age 56, she is just going into her new luck fire pillar, 丙午 this year.  In bazi studies, the time when you go into your luck pillar is when any (negative) impact is at its strongest.

Coincidentally, to compound the situation, there is also a horse-dog-tiger (午-戌-寅 三合) combination this year which turns into fire. This combination were found in her age 56 luck pillar (午), the year 2018 (戌) and her birth year (寅) - circled in red.

All in all, her current luck pillar, the 三合combination of fire in year 2018, the current month summer fire season in June are all fire. Even the time where she was found dead was at 10am which is the 巳fire hour.
