Addiction and compulsive behaviour patterns have specific chart signatures. Ba Zi examines whether your chart has excessive "Hurting Officer" (傷官) energy without proper control — this can manifest as self-destructive tendencies and difficulty with boundaries. Western Astrology looks at Neptune (escapism, addiction) and its aspects to personal planets — Neptune-Venus or Neptune-Moon aspects often correlate with addictive tendencies. Jyotish examines Rahu (obsession and compulsion) and its placement — Rahu in the 1st or 5th house can indicate addictive personality traits. Zi Wei Dou Shu examines the Mind Palace (福德宮) for stars that indicate self-destructive tendencies.
