“Your Day Master is 甲— Yang Wood. You are the pine at the mountain pass: upright, patient, and unyielding when the season turns cold.”
§ II — What is revealed

Seven chapters
one chart.

A complete reading is not a prediction. It is a close reading of the text you already are — the five elements arranged uniquely in you, and the timing written beneath them.

性
Your Nature
The element that governs your inner self — your rhythms, your recovery, your way of seeing.

§ III — A thousand-year method

BaZi is not astrology,
though the sky is where it begins.

960
Song dynasty

Xu Ziping refines the system. The four-pillar method enters scholarly record and court counsel.

10
Heavenly stems

Yin and yang of five elements — wood, fire, earth, metal, water — cycled through the calendar of your birth.

12
Earthly branches

The animals of the zodiac — but anchored to hours, months, years, seasons. Not a sign; a lattice.

神
§ — Ten gods · 十神

The language
your chart speaks.

Each pillar near your day stem plays one of ten roles — the Officer who governs you, the Wealth you pursue, the Output that becomes your work. They are not fortunes; they are relations.

A “harsh” star can build you. A “lucky” one can soften you. What matters is the role each plays in your chart.

正官
Direct Officer

Rules, responsibility, the steady authority — and how you submit to it.

七殺
Seven Killings

Pressure, breakthrough, decisive action under threat. Tamed, it builds you.

正印
Direct Seal

Mother, knowledge, the protective force — what nourishes and shelters.

偏印
Indirect Seal

Unorthodox study, intuition, the loner’s gift. Strange disciplines.

比肩
Friend

Peers, allies of the same kind. Independence, sometimes isolation.

劫財
Rival

Competitors, the social arena. Generous in mood, costly when unchecked.

食神
Eating God

Output without strain — appetite, art, ease. The native gift.

傷官
Hurting Officer

Brilliance with edges. Voice, performance, the unwillingness to defer.

正財
Direct Wealth

Earned income, the wife (in male charts), the slow return.

偏財
Indirect Wealth

Windfalls, ventures, the father, the talent for moving money quickly.

§ — Original chart, ten-year tides · 命局與大運

The chart is the floor.
The tides are the seasons.

Your eight characters don’t change — they are the constants. But every ten years a new pillar of stem and branch arrives, shifting which elements run hot, which ones quiet down, where the doors open.

一命 · 二運 · 三風水 · 四積德 · 五讀書 — fate is the first thing, but only the first of five.

SAMPLE LUCK SEQUENCEIllustrative order only. Your first Luck Pillar starts at an age calculated from your birth moment, gender, and the relevant solar-term boundary — never a universal age 0 or 10.
01
Original chart

Eight characters fixed at birth. Personality, talent, the people you draw close.

02
Ten-year pillars

A new stem-and-branch every decade. Different elements, different doors.

03
Yearly cycles

Each year layers its own current. The chart and the pillar interpret it together.
