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

When each DaYun 10-Year Luck Pillar Starts

Each DaYun begins on 22 of March 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): 癸酉 Gui You (Yin Water Rooster) 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: 癸 Gui Water – The Rain or Mist

Gentle rain nourishing all things, soft but pervasive.

Favorable vs. Unfavorable Traits

When Water is favorable:
Clever, compassionate, adaptable, and observant. Gui people excel at analysis and behind-the-scenes influence.

Earthly Branch: 酉 You Rooster

Hidden Stem (藏干)

辛 (Metal)

Favorable vs. Unfavorable Traits

When Metal is favorable:
The Rooster symbolizes precision, order, and confidence. It values structure, discipline, and clarity. When favorable, the Rooster provides focus, responsibility, and the ability to bring order to chaos. Its Metal energy sharpens intelligence and communication.
When Metal is unfavorable:
When unfavorable, the Rooster can be critical, arrogant, or overly perfectionist. It may become self-centered or vain, focusing too much on appearances. In BaZi, the Rooster’s sharp Metal influence can either refine or cut depending on elemental balance.

Heavenly Stem: 甲 Jia Wood – The Big Tree

Strong trees reaching for the sky, upright and enduring.

When favorable, the Dragon energy bestows confidence, magnetism, and the ability to rally others. Its Earth foundation supports stability, while hidden Wood and Water provide flexibility and adaptability.
When Earth is unfavorable:
When unfavorable, the Dragon can be arrogant, temperamental, or prone to unrealistic expectations. Its intensity may overwhelm others or create unnecessary conflict. In BaZi, Dragons are often seen as transformative but need harmony with other elements to avoid imbalance.

Element Interaction: 丁 Ding with 未 Wei Goat
