DaYun 10-Year Luck Pillars (十年大运 Shi Nian DaYun)

When each DaYun 10-Year Luck Pillar Starts

Each DaYun begins on 24 of December of the first Solar year in its cycle.

💡In BaZi, the Solar Year starts from Li Chun (usually around February 4), not January 1. This means: If your DaYun starts on January 18, that date still falls before Li Chun, so it belongs to the previous Solar Year — even though it's already the second calendar year of your DaYun.
👉 In other words, January 18 of the second calendar year is still considered part of the first year of your DaYun, because Li Chun hasn't arrived yet.
🧠 This distinction is crucial when analyzing annual influences. Always align your year-by-year breakdown with the Solar calendar, not the Western calendar.
🗓️ In traditional Chinese age reckoning (虚岁 Xu Sui). Someone born in 2024 would be considered age 2 in 2025. This system starts at age 1 at birth and adds a year at each Lunar New Year, not on the birthday.

BaZi Four Pillars: Year, Month, Day, Hour (年柱, 月柱, 日柱, 時柱)

Hour Pillar (时柱): 丁卯 Ding Mao (Yin Fire Rabbit) Hour Pillar

Hour Pillar (时柱) – Represents your children, late life, and ambitions. The Hour Branch shows your children or descendants, while the Hour Pillar (Stem and Branch) can reflect your later-life goals and personal aspirations.

Heavenly Stem: 丁 Ding Fire – The Candlelight

Gentle fire from candles or hearths — soft but illuminating.

Favorable vs. Unfavorable Traits

When Fire is favorable:
Thoughtful, cultured, and insightful. Ding people bring emotional warmth, refinement, and clarity to situations.

When Fire is unfavorable:
Overly sensitive, moody, or passive-aggressive. Their flame may flicker when they lack recognition or support.

Earthly Branch: 卯 Mao Rabbit

Hidden Stem (藏干)

乙 (Wood)

Favorable vs. Unfavorable Traits

When Wood is favorable:
The Rabbit embodies gentleness, diplomacy, and creativity. It is associated with elegance, compassion, and social grace. In favorable conditions, Rabbits are intuitive, artistic, and skilled at resolving conflicts with tact. Their Wood element supports growth, kindness, and aesthetic appreciation.
When Wood is unfavorable:
When unfavorable, the Rabbit may become overly cautious, indecisive, or escapist. It may struggle with confrontation, preferring avoidance even when direct action is required. In BaZi, the Rabbit’s Wood influence can nurture or weaken depending on whether the chart needs more or less Wood.

Element Interaction: 丁 Ding with 卯 Mao Rabbit

The Day Stem (天干) is your Day Master (日元 or 日主), representing your core personality, energy, and essence. The Day Branch (地支) is the Spouse Palace (配偶宫 or 夫妻宫), showing your marriage and spouse-related tendencies.

Heavenly Stem: 甲 Jia Wood – The Big Tree

Strong trees reaching for the sky, upright and enduring.

Principled, dependable, visionary, protective of others, and willing to take the lead. Jia people have a strong moral compass and often act as pillars of stability.

Hidden Stem (藏干)

癸 (Water)

Favorable vs. Unfavorable Traits

When Water is favorable:
The Rat is known for intelligence, adaptability, and quick thinking. As the first of the Zodiac, it represents new beginnings, fertility, and resourcefulness. Favorably placed, the Rat brings strategic vision, charm in communication, and the ability to build networks easily. Its Water nature supports wisdom, insight, and flexibility in decision-making.
When Water is unfavorable:
When unfavorable, however, the Rat’s energy can manifest as overthinking, restlessness, and emotional instability. It may bring scheming behavior or excessive caution that prevents progress. In BaZi, whether the Rat’s Water influence nurtures or overwhelms depends on its balance with other elements.
