BaZi Calculator: Four Pillars of Destiny with Symbolic Stars

The Ten Gods (十神 Shi Shen) System

A complete BaZi must have all combinations and transformations of the Ten Gods (十神 Shi Shen), forming the foundation of BaZi analysis. Each ‘God’ reflects how your Day Master interacts with other elements, revealing how wealth, career, relationships, and talents are influenced in your BaZi chart.

Each Ten God has a Yin and Yang aspect, which determines its polarity relative to the Day Master.

  • Yang 阳 opposite polarity of the Day Master
    1. 印 (Direct Resource – 正印 Zheng Yin)
    2. 劫 (Rob Wealth – 劫财 Jie Cai)
    3. 伤 (Hurting Officer – 伤官 Shang Guan)
    4. 财 (Direct Wealth – 正财 Zheng Cai)
    5. 官 (Direct Officer – 正官 Zheng Guan)
  • Yin 阴 same polarity as the Day Master
    1. 卩 (Indirect Resource – 偏印 Pian Yin - 卩)
    2. 比 (Friend – 比肩 Bi Jian)
    3. 食 (Eating God – 食神 Shi Shen)
    4. 才 (Indirect Wealth – 偏财 Pian Cai)
    5. 杀 (Seven Killings – 七杀 Qi Sha)

This distinction helps us identify how each Ten God interacts with your Day Master more precisely in the BaZi report. Understanding the Ten Gods gives you a deeper perspective on your BaZi chart, revealing your strengths, weaknesses, and areas of potential growth.

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

The DaYun, or 10-Year Luck Pillars (十年大运, Shi Nian DaYun), is a crucial part of BaZi analysis. Each DaYun represents a ten-year period that shapes the flow of luck, opportunities, and challenges in your life. By studying your current and upcoming DaYun, you can anticipate major shifts in career, wealth, relationships, and personal growth, allowing you to make informed decisions and align your actions with favorable timing.

Why It’s Important to Know When 10-Year Luck Pillars Begin

The start of each DaYun (10-Year Luck Pillar) marks a key turning point in your life. 10-Year Luck Pillars do not automatically begin from Lichun or the first day of the lunar month. Knowing exactly when your DaYun begins is essential, because it signals the arrival of new opportunities, challenges, and shifts in wealth, career, relationships, and personal growth. Properly aligning your actions with the start of a favorable DaYun can maximize your luck and help you navigate transitions more effectively. For example, For example, the 5th Luck Pillar (2020–2029), 辛未 (Xin Wei) DaYun, starts on October 24, 2020.

How to Read Wealth in BaZi

  1. Determine Day Master Strength for Wealth

    2. First, determine whether your Day Master (Day Stem) is Strong or Weak. This is the foundation of all BaZi interpretation.

  2. Identify Your Wealth Element

    3. For a Strong Day Master, the element that your Day Master controls represents your Wealth. They are:

    • Direct Wealth (正财 Zheng Cai – 财) → Stable income, salary, savings, structured wealth
    • Indirect Wealth (偏财 Pian Cai – 才) → Business income, investments, opportunities, side income

    For a Weak Day Master, the element that is the same as your Day Master becomes your Wealth. They are:

    • Friend (比肩 Bi Jian – 比) → Shared resources, partnerships, equal-level opportunities
    • Rob Wealth (劫财 Jie Cai – 劫) → Competitive wealth, fast money, but unstable if excessive
  3. When Wealth Becomes Strong and Usable

    4. Wealth potential improves when Wealth stars are:

    • Strong in the chart
    • Not heavily clashed or damaged
    • Supported by generating elements

    Support for Strong Day Master - Support comes from the element produced by the Day Master:

    • Eating God (食神 Shi Shen – 食) → Wealth through skill, talent, productivity
    • Hurting Officer (伤官 Shang Guan – 伤) → Wealth through creativity, innovation, influence

    These stars help activate and generate wealth output.

    Support for Weak Day Master - Support comes from the element that produces the Day Master:

    • Direct Resource (正印 Zheng Yin – 印) → Stability, education, protection
    • Indirect Resource (偏印 Pian Yin – 枭 / 卩) → Strategy, intuition, unconventional support

    These help strengthen the person so they can handle wealth.

    4. Analyze whether the Day Branch has:

    • Clashes (冲)
    • Punishments (刑)
