“Break” 破局 when all useful Ten Gods 用神 and favorable Ten Gods 喜神 are killed. When someone die, for sure there is indications. But with indications does not necessary mean death. With our current advanced medical science and with proper care and support, one might be able to escape death.
Our luck depends on three things. 天地人 (heaven, geographical, people). “Heaven” is our BaZi which we cannot changed. “Geographical” is where you live. You will have much better chance if you live in a more advanced country with a better healthcare system. “People” is the peoples around you who can provide you with love and support.
This also mean when you see your future with these indications, you are more prepared. Start a healthy lifestyle, try to cut down on stress, routine checkups all these help.
One more thing. You have to look at your BaZi in a 3-dimensional space where branches support stems not the same with Zi Wei Dou Shu (紫微斗数） which is flat. “Break” 破局 only when all useful Ten Gods 用神 and favorable Ten Gods 喜神 are "killed" and not "gone". "Gone" here mean being combined, taken away and escape being suppressed and killed. "Gone" go into hiding and escape being brutally killed. After they are "gone" and there is no more clash, no killing, it will just be a stable year 平年. But if there is still clashes it can be more severe, it can also break the chart.
Cheers.
