Short, plain-English guides to the ideas behind your readings. Each guide explains one building block of BaZi (the Four Pillars of Destiny) and links to the free tool that uses it, so you can see it in your own chart.
BaZi basics
- The Five ElementsHow Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water feed and control one another, which stems and branches carry each element, and how to read the balance in your chart.
- The Ten Heavenly StemsJia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren and Gui: the element, yin or yang and traditional image of each Heavenly Stem, and what it says as your Day Master.
- The Twelve Earthly BranchesThe twelve branches from Zi (Rat) to Hai (Pig): their element, solar month, double hour and hidden stems, and the harmonies and clashes between them.
- The Sixty Jiazi and NayinAll sixty stem-branch pairs from Jia Zi to Gui Hai, with their animal, Nayin element and years from 1924 to 2043, and how the cycle counts years, months, days and hours.
- The Ten GodsWhat the Ten Gods are, how each is found from your Day Master, what themes they stand for, and a full lookup table for all ten stems.
