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

When each DaYun 10-Year Luck Pillar Starts

Each DaYun begins on 12 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 Calculator – Four Pillars of Destiny: Year, Month, Day, Hour (年柱, 月柱, 日柱, 時柱)

Hour Pillar (时柱): 甲子 Jia Zi (Yang Wood Rat) 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: 甲 Jia Wood – The Big Tree

Strong trees reaching for the sky, upright and enduring.

Favorable vs. Unfavorable Traits

When Wood is favorable:
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.

When Wood is unfavorable:
Stubborn, overly rigid, and unwilling to compromise. Once their beliefs are challenged, they may snap under pressure instead of bending.

Earthly Branch: 子 Zi Rat

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.

When Earth is unfavorable:
When unfavorable, the Ox can be stubborn, resistant to change, or overly conservative. This can lead to missed opportunities or inflexibility in personal growth.
